10.5.2 Kalway on Tecra M4 - crashes on CD boot

[TommyT]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to load the Kalway 10.5.2 distribution on a Toshiba Tecra M4. I appears from searching other posts that users have the M4 working (albeit not fully). When I boot from the install DVD, it crashes pretty much right after I initiate the install. In verbose mode there is a bunch of errors thrown. The couple lines that look relavent:

 

- unrecognized device type\n"@SourceCache/IOPlatformPLuginFamily/IOPlatformPluginFamily -315..3/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin/AppleSMCPDRC.cpp:68

Debugger called: <Panic>

... whole bunch of gobbly goop after that line.

 

Does anybody have any ideas what I need to do to get past this? I'm fairly new to this process and was hoping to convert this old (not used anymore) Intel Centrino machine into a decent Mac OS machine. Thanks!
