So close (Kernel Panic)

[Mike Waggz]

I've installed Leopard twice. Once with idlehalt=0 which someone told me once. It installed no problems. But then when I restarted it, it always tells me to restart again. The same thing happens when I boot it with CPUS=1 -x -v. It always does the same thing.

 

I'm using Leo4All v3. Someone also told me not to install with a graphics driver. But that was also of no use. I am so close it's not even funny. (Actually it is.)

Sounds like you are getting a kernel panic. You need to post all your hardware here.

[Mike Waggz]

Yup it's a kernel panic (Title ).

 

Pretty hard to post all of the hardware. WinLoad.exe got corrupted and stupid me has no back up disk. But this is what I remember.

 

HP Pavillion dv2610us

 

CPU: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 (1.9GHz dual core)

Graphics: nVidia GeForce 7150M

64 Bit Processor

SSE3

System Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630M

 

That's all I can think of off of my head at the moment. If there's anything else just tell me.

You might want to give the new voodoo kernel a try.

What's a voodoo kernel?

What's a voodoo kernel?

 

You need to select the appropiate kernel and drivers before u install OS X, Voodoo is one kernel to try but u may want to try other kernels also, read the description carefully before selecting kernel and extensions

 

So pretty much trial and error my friend :wink2:

So when I select Customize of the 3 Kernels I choose a different one. (Like before I chose A but now I choose B?)

That's right. Start with selecting only one kernel at a time and the most basic drivers, i.e. disk controller, mouse/keyboard etc.

 

I usually make notes for every config i try, it's easy to forget what combinations you tried.
