leglez Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I built my first hackintosh a few weeks ago, ran into problems so I went back to Vista. But now I figured out all the problems and have almost everything running fine. I am running a Q6600 on a Gigabyte GA-P35 Board, a 10,000RPM Raptor X 150GB Boot Drive. 8GBs OCZ gold DDR2 800 RAM, did 7 passes with memtest came out good, and a 7300GT Video card. I went to install World of Warcraft, the first time I clicked install and walked away to do something and came back and it had a kernel panic. So I restart and try again, same thing. So I wait a few hours run all updates install some other things, and reboot a few times. I go to put the install disc in and it gives a kernel panic as soon as I put the disc in. I have not got any kernel panics except for when trying to install WoW. Does anyone have any ideas of ways around this or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusfreak198989 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Have tried other disks, say another large game, or maybe a DVD movie. If that does the same thing, its more then likely your drive. Though what you can do, is download WoW from the patch mirrors section at WoW wiki, or even using the official WoW downloader. It takes awhile, but It may fix it. Hope this helps TheFreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leglez Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah I tried the burning crusade and didn't have any problems. If I use the WoW Trial downloader will that worK? I can't seem to find the other downloaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-aKy- Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 be sure to have your hdd on the right sata port. your bord offers 2sata ports (jmicron controller) and 4 (should be yellow ones, Intel Controller) DVD Drive and HDD should be on the intel ones to avoid kernel panics, jmicron controller driver isnt that stable, this often causes kernel panics when they have to handle lots of data.

sg Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 using a jmicron device with more than 3gigs of RAM will cause a kernel panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex HQuest Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Also check if your volume is not case sensitive. WoW installer dislikes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
