C-Diddy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hello all, I've been having a problem with my Dell Latitude 100L (P celeron 2.4, 512 ram, intel graphics, sorry I don't know the exact specification). My computer is loaded with Acronis OS Selector. I have been trying to install the JaS patched version of 10.4.3 but everytime I try to boot from the CD (using -V) I get a kernel panic stemming from ACPI (an unrecognized system stage of S3 appears to be the point of entry.. */edit as opposed to VMware having a state of S0 edit/*) The weird thing is, I can install fine (but slow) in VMware. I also cannot run the OS once I install it to the drive as it halts into the 4-language restart prompt. I'm figuring it's aproblem with OS Selector or some power management issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I also just tried booting with platform = acpi -v... i got farther this time, but the installer tells me now that there is a problem clearing bits on registers (I'm guessing ACPI is not used for a reason). Probbaly not helpful, just throwing it out there. help ADDITION************ i don't want to flood the board, but could this somehow be related to the Unresolved kernel trap (CPU 0, Type 0=divide error), Sorry...

AndrewH Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I had a ACPI problem also, and thought I wasn't going to beable to use osx, all i did, was install the latest bios and it worked! so good luck to you! andrew Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/#findComment-86092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I reinstalled drivers last night =( The only other thing Ican think of is that i Get an error that there is a... "BUG! ... something about atimeout waiting for bit 2 of register 42 to clear..." Does any of this sound at all familiar to anyone?

AndrewH Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Drivers? Drivers are different, than bios... i'm not trying to treat you like your dumb or anything, but to me a driver is on a operating system to make it functional with it, and bios is stored on a chip, regardless if there is even a operating system. andrew Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/#findComment-86113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 appologies, i meant to say i updated the bios (not drivers ) long day >_< Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/#findComment-86119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 *bump* does anyone have any ideas? I also tried 10.4.4. If I use THIS installation, I can run the entire setup process, but in black and white (detecs only 0.8MB of VRAM). So I don't think 10.4.3 is halting due to hardware. Does anyone think 10.4.5 might be a better try (compatible with MORE hardware?) I just wanted some opinions before i try a third OS ver. Thanks!

Slip Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 You did? platform=ACPI|X86PC Else change BIOS settings especially--- Legacy USB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/#findComment-88534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Legacy USB - nothing to disable platform specification makes no difference Anyone any thoughts? I read you can change the 'mac bios' by holding some buttons on startup, and you can see what it says your system is, but you can also CHANGE it (e.g. common use is to disable some ram). Would this help? Or would trying 10.4.5 help? I want mac os =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13469-1043-acpi-panic/#findComment-88864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
