I've tried 3 different distros of mac, iPC, iAtkos, and iDeneb. All of them i am having a problem with.

 

I can't get passed the boot screen. I keep getting a kernel panic for the ACPI driver not being found.

 

I've searched the forums hundreds of times and could not find a resolution to this issue. I've also tried all the different kernels, turned off acpi support in bios, changed the platform to acpi then to x86pc. Nothing at all works.

 

Does anyone have any idea's how I can make this work??
