zmckin2007 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey there guys, I've been looking over the forums recently for information regarding some of the errors I've been getting while trying to install Leopard. It looks something like this "panic (cpu 0 caller #######) Unable to find driver for this platform ACPI" and after "ACPI" it shows some path to something on the boot dvd. This is as far as I get with it, I can't even get to an installer screen. This is with iATKOSv2 btw. I did find one other post that describes a problem exactly like mine but it is close to dead so I decided to repost. My Hardware is as follows: 2GHz intel core 2 duo 2GB RAM 120GB SATA HD(Set to AHCI in bios) Nvidia 8600M GT My bios is of course standard dell inspiron 1720 bios version A07. I've tried disabling dual core support, flash cache, and other random things. I've tried every kernel and yes I've tried cpus=1. Trying to use the "platform=" tag didn't seem to do anything either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kavy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I haven't put the new V2 on my laptop as of yet (have a 1720 as well) but in the bios you have to disable ACPI and turbo memory options to install osx86 from my previous experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. It looks like you have the first release os v2 that was bad. You will need to download the rereleased version. I can't give you a link but it will reference brokenstone. Version 1 works great on these too and can be updated with the kalycombo update.

zmckin2007 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 turbo memory...? Are you talking about TM on the graphics card? Because I have the 8600M GT, doesn't have TM, and i don't have an option in the bios to disable ACPI. I'm using the bios version A07, are you running the same version or an earlier?I've tried kalyway as well btw and it just freezes after it reaches this message extension "com.apple.driver.acpi_smc_platformplugin" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style ioapic: version 0x20 vectors 0:23 immediately beneath this message is just a solid cursor and it stays that way, I've left it on for a few hours like that just to check but upon further examination I can hear that the DVD has stopping moving and isn't being read from anymore.Kalyway 10.5.2 btw Did you have to do any special setup for your inspiron to install, Red? anything like the cpus=1 flag or disable multi-core in the bios.

No you don't need to flag cpu=1. You should have the option of ACPI os sata in your bios if I remember right. I think I had to set it it sata for one version or it would not see the drive to install. I think you need the rereleased v2 or v1r2 of Iatkos and I think you will be able to get it rolling. I haven't installed using V2 I only booted to see what it had to offer. These 1720s run very well on 10.5.2. I'm runing the x3100 graphics, the Nvidia should be even better without the quirks the intel graphics have. The only bug I have besides the display going to sleep is I have to use the power button if i shut it down but I very seldom shut it down i just use sleep. It is on as soon as I open the lid.

I just went into my bios and checked it is A06. The option to set the sata is in onboard devices and it gives me the option of ata and acpi. I use ata. If you want to reinstall vista it needs to be set to this or install the drivers from the driver cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from dell's support site. This made me curious as to how you have a bios version I cannot get so i did some reading and evidently A06 is only available to the newer inspirons 1720 or something along those lines :censored2: When did you purchase yours, because mine is well over a year old. Sorry, this is just baffling me, and the only thing related to my SATA in my bios is ATA or AHCI, whereas AHCI and ACPI and completely different things as i understand.No you don't need to flag cpu=1.

I sold my 9300 on ebay and it only cost me about $200 difference so I couldn't pass it up. I never really looked that close so mine probably is ATA or AHCI I just assumed it was the same problem. Damn don't go messing up your BIOS over anything I say I'm an idiot. Just ask my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmckin2007 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 hmm, that's weird I guess I'll jut wait for a little more until some more common knowledge come out of about installation on the 1720. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kavy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Sorry for the confusion i did mean AHCI, it need to be disabled then you need to disable turbo memory as well in your bios. I have A07 here and just did a full install with v2 and only problem I have is my power button not powering down but instead sleeping the computer.

Also how about sound and sleep? I've been waiting for someone with a 1720 to try V2. I've got things working too well to kill a good install. I just checked the date on my bios it is A06 dated 1-14-08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
