Tim Martin Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I keep trying to install OSX on the following hardware with Kalyway 10.5.2 cd: Its a MSI 1561 ID3 has a P9600 2.66 ghz cpu it has 4gb ddr2 800mhz 5-5-5-15 ram western digital 500gb hard drive intel 5100agn wireless card the video card is 9600m gt ddr3 512mb with clocks 650/1600/1000 Everything installs fine but then when it restarts I get the apple loading screen and thats all. Im not sure I am selecting the right install options as I could not verify my hardware on the compatibility list. If someone here could point me in the right direction on what kernal to use etc... I'm fairly new at this so I'll need some of your patience hah Thanks, Tim Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189851-newbie-install-intel-p9600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Use -v boot flag to see what is the problem. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189851-newbie-install-intel-p9600/#findComment-1286534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Martin Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Use -v boot flag to see what is the problem. Once I boot with the -v flag it says MAC Framework successfully initialized using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers Then it just hangs and never gets past that point.

Tim Martin Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86298 Thanks Das Human, I have already tried setting my sata to ahci with no luck. I also saw the part about it being I"ACPIPlatform.kext error you have to replace it with a compatible one". I googled around and it seemed liked this was the likely problem, but I dont understand how to correct this. Would someone so kindly post instructions for a dummy like myself on how to get around this...

vilpostus Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The easiest thing for you is to use an another distro. Though you may try replacing ACPIPlatform.kext via Install DVD. You will need: a new ACPIPlatform.kext an USB pen drive formated to FAT a working windows or whatever system to write the file to the pen drive an OS X Install DVD (the disk you are installing OS X from) Download ACPIPlatform.kext (don't ask me which version you need - I don't know) and copy it to the pan drive (note that the pan drive must be formatted as FAT an should be named somehow; use some short, reasonable name e.g. pen). Now boot to Kalyway disk. Proceed to the point where you can select the Terminal from Utilities menu. Run the Terminal. Type sudo -s rm -Rf /Volumes/OSXdiskName/System/Library/Extensions/ACPIPlatform.kext cp -R /Volumes/USBpenDriveName/ACPIPlatform.kext /Volumes/OSXdiskName/System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 644 /Volumes/OSXdiskName/System/Library/Extensions/ACPIPlatform.kext chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/OSXdiskName/System/Library/Extensions/ACPIPlatform.kext rm -Rf /Volumes/OSXdiskName/System/Library/Extensions.mkext Restart. If success, you will able to boot the OS X. rm... removes the old ACPIPlatform.kext from the disk cp... copies the new ACPIPlatform.kext from a pen drive to the disk chmod & chown sets the right permissions to the ACPIPlatform.kext rm... removes Extensions.mkext from the disk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189851-newbie-install-intel-p9600/#findComment-1286922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Martin Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ok excellent! I was able to boot up OS X on my laptop. Now the last problem I am having is it is only utilizing one core on my processor which is a dual core. Can you point me in the right direction on how to fix that?

Tim Martin Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Anyone here know why I can only boot with one active core? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189851-newbie-install-intel-p9600/#findComment-1287649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
