n0fx Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'm trying to install the MacOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso by booting it up straight from the DVD. When it boots up and I press enter to continue, after 10 to 20 seconds, I get some type of kernel panic. I checked the HCL for 10.4.5 to see if my processor was support, which I believe is but I couldn't find to see if this motherboard was supported or not. I also tried searching the wiki and forums to see if anyone else had this particular setup or even this motherboard but I couldn't find anyone. This the following specs on the desktop that I'm trying to install it on: Processor: AMD Opteron 144 (1.8GHz) Memory: 2GB (2 sticks of 1GB) Corsair Value PC3200 Motherboard: Asus A8R-MVP (ATI Crossfire Xpress 200 Chipset) Sound Card: Built-in, ADI AD1986A SoundMAX Chipset Network Card: Built-in, Marvell Yukon 88E8001 Chipset SATA: Built-in, PATA Emulated Mode and I've also tried Native ULI M1575 mode as well Hard Drive: Western Digital 200GB SATA1 Video Card: Sapphire ATI X850XL PCI-X DVD-ROM: Lite-ON LTD-166S More specs on my motherboard here: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelme...=3&l2=15&l3=236 I tried the -x, -v, -f, platform=ACPI, platform=X86PC, and idlehalt=0 switches but none of them seem to work. I've also tried the Marklar Tiger DVD image as well and it doesn't seem to continue at the same location. To see if it was any of the onboard stuff on this board, I tried disabling the following: ACPI, SATA Controller, floppy, onboard sound & NIC, serial port, and the firewire ports, which is basically everything disabled and it still has the same kernel panic error. If anyone knows how to fix or past this kernel panic, please let me know and I'll include a screenshot of the particular error. I did see this particular error in another posting with the Xeon processor but there doesn't seem to be any resolution for that error.

dponmac Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Someone correct me if im wrong but, I remember reading in another thread that the "no debugger device" panic usually has to do with a bad image, patch, or dvd. You might want to try burning a new dvd or getting a hold of another image to burn.

You might want to try burning a new dvd or getting a hold of another image to burn. Ok, I'll give that a try. I did burn the Marklar ISO image with a different DVD and got the same error, so I thought my discs were OK. Which image would you recommend works perfectly fine? I'm not asking where to get it, just which one works.

myzar Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That panic is very odd it means that it failed to load the extension.mkext or the extension.mkext is corrupted or doesn't have any kext to handle your platform but that's unlikely. I suspect a corrupted burned img or a corrupted iso . You should try installing it in vmware mounting the img with dtools Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12929-installation-of-1044-patched-causes-kernel-panic/#findComment-82317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reburned it on a brand new DVD and it boots now with the ACPI error. I managed to fix it by updating the BIOS to 0402 from Asus and now it's installing onto the hard drive.

n0fx Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 If anyone is looking for the 0402 BIOS for this board, for some strange reason, Asus pulled it off their listing but you can still grab it from them here: http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...VP/a8rm0402.zip and you'll also need to file to flash it, which you'll have to google for, the filename is AFUDOS221.zip. EDIT: I managed to still have a copy of flash program and bios, which I'll attach to this post.
