MGJulius Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hey, It looks like it can't find the ACPI driver...i suggest you turn ACPI on and see what happens Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138921-first-time-osxin-kernal-panic-at-very-start/#findComment-983217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 thanks for your reply i think i did that, this is whats happening now: after a bit of a search, it seems i have to edit the kext file, but this can only be done in OSX right? i have the details here PCI\VENDOR: 11AB& DEVICE: 4364 2) In OSX, go into Terminal and edit the following file: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist if u get an "Open with" dialog, right click the file and click "Show Package Contents" Scroll down and find the following: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x436211AB</string> Replace the bold numbers with the device id you found above. Save the file. Exit the file. 3) Delete the following files. In Terminal, type (or copy and paste): sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache 4) Repair permissions. In Terminal, type: diskutil repairPermissions / 5) Reboot any way i can do this without OSX????? VMWARE??? perhaps?

Gujal Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The problem showing up is "Waiting for root device" which has nothing to do with your MarvellYukon2 Ethernet. Ethernet can be fixed later once you have got your OSX running, "Waiting for root device" could be solved by setting up your SATA Controller in AHCI mode in BIOS.

jasjeet Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 but i have alreday set the option to AHCI in bios, im reading that a modded bios is needed, but cant find any links? can anyone guide me? thanks edit* i found the modded bios, flashed it, still same problem, just takes longer for it to say "waiting for root device" i also disabled firewire and etherenet to simplifiy things. not sure what else could be the problem.

jasjeet Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 ok, i left the kalyway disk and now tired, iDeneb 10.5.5 and it went into install staright away, but in system profiler, before actually installing leopard, it says cpus=0 and cores =1? is this just because the patches from the install have not been applied here or is this going to cause problems after the install as well?

MGJulius Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hey, Most pre-patched dvd's modify the com.apple.boot.plist (which will tell os x how to boot) with things such as "-legacy cpus=1" when you boot minto the installer program...but these things will not carry to the com.apple.boot.plist on your hard drive. This is the original boot.plist, So no it will not cause problems in the the booting on the hard drive.

jasjeet Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 hey thanks for the reply, i would like to know a few last things, once it installs, which OS will boot, currently Vista is on partition 1 of HDD1 and am planning to install OSx on partition 3 of HDD 1? Will it be better to have OSx Partition on HDD2? and finally, How will i be able to boot into both OS's??? thanks!

MGJulius Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hey, Well since you are installing on the same hard drive It should make your os x partition active...from there you will get a boot selection screen where you can choose to boot from any of the partition on that hard drive BTW what distro are you using?

jasjeet Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 im using iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 it seems like it will be better running of a different hard drive, so im going to re parition my data drive for OSx. then re activate my C:\ and use vista bootloader to incorporate OSx entry. would this work? also what kind of options do i need to enable in the install, anything specific?
