jfisk Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I tried installing retail snow leo on my sony vgn-ar250g and hit a snag upon first boot...IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87. Here is exactly what I did. See the end of this post for the whole system specs. *Used boot132 method from Mac Your PC http://macyourpc.com/2009/09/13/mac-os-x-1...oot-132-method/ the First .iso gave me the waiting on root error...the second worked like a charm, It installed correctly with the only noticable bug being if There was no activity (i.e, mouse movement), then the screen would appear to be frozen. If i would move the mouse a bit it would kick back. *After the DVD installer was done, i rebooted, tried going to the mac HD, but i would always get the IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87 at the end. I tried booting in safe mode... no luck . I also tried using that demo Rebel EFI bootloader but immediately kernal crashed. I then tried it to reinstall snow leopard and it wouldnt even get to the installer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch. ------------------------------------------------ Motherboard: Phoenix Technologies Processor Manufacturer:IntelProcessor Number:T7200Processor Speed:2 GHzMotherboard Chipset:Intel 945PMBus Speed:667 MHzMemory RAM Technology:DDR2 SDRAMMax Supported RAM:2 GBRAM Speed:533 MHzInstalled Cache Memory:4096 KBHard Drive Hard Drive Capacity:200 GBStorage Controller Type:Serial ATACD / DVD CD / DVD Type:DVD±RW Graphic Processor:NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600Installed Video Memory:128 mb Expandability:1 x Type I/II PC Card Slot, 1 x SD Card Slot, 1 x Memory Stick Card Slot, 1 x Memory Stick DUO, 1 x ExpressCardExpansion Ports:3 x USB 2.0, 1 x IEEE 1394a (FireWire), VGA out, RJ-11 (modem), RJ-45 (NIC), S-Video out, HDMISpecial Features:TV tuner · Integrated Video Camera · Remote ControlInput Method:Keyboard · TouchpadNetworking Networking Type:Bluetooth · Integrated 10/100 Network Card · Integrated Wireless LAN <--intel (obviously)Data Link Protocol:Bluetooth · Ethernet · Fast Ethernet · IEEE 802.11a · IEEE 802.11b · IEEE 802.11 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194767-sony-vaio-vgn-ar250g-woesioapic-version-0x20-vectors-6487/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfisk Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ive gone through some various sony vaio's and found that my hardware SHOULD be compatible. Ive seen another VGN-AR series which has leopard, but no snow leopard. Would the bootloader affect the installer? I know the one i particulary used had some extras installed, but im not sure if the vector error message was provoked by them or not. Thanks, it would be nice get a nice sony vaio thread started.

iCezar Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 same issue here on Lenovo T400. Guys, any link to an older post or some advice? Please, I think we're missing something here..

I would love to know? What version of BIOS, did you do the VT enable BIOS hack, etc. Any ideas? I am getting the exact IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87 error. Any idea?
