kylejohn Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hello all, Having issues on my board installing SL. I am using the guide from <http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/09/how-to-build-a-hackintosh-with-snow-leopard-start-to-finish/>. Also I should warn that I am fairly new to the community so bear with any noobness on my part. This is a clean install on a unformatted HDD using retail DVD with image and bootloader on USB. My system seems to constantly get stuck right after ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin: :pushCPU_CstData - _CST Evaluation Failed. I have tried a variety of things including starting in safe mode, cpus=1, acpi=off, etc but keep getting stalling up on the same spot. Here is a photo of the error. It looks like it gets held up right on that... Also my system is as follows: CPU type:Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz Motherboard: GA-G31M-ES2L Rev 2.0 (does not support AHCI) ATI Radeon HD 4850, 512mb 240 gig SATA HD 4 gigs Samsung ram LG Super-Multi DVD/CD R/W Any advice or tips would be helpful. This stuff gets frustrating! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187537-problems-on-ga-g31m-es2l-rev-20/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
