Hello community,

 

after having made good experiences with OSX on an upgraded iBook (RAM & HDD) and being a bit bored over the holidays, I decided to install OSX on something with more than 300 Mhz.

 

After reading a lot of tutorials on this site, I thought I'd give my Asus A8Jp a try. I bought a new HDD to install everything on, using the retail 10.6 DVD + Boot SL 132 CD method (BootSLv3-wifi-noextra.iso).

 

The installation went smoothly. I created 2 partitions on the HDD, the first for OSX with GUID option enabled.

 

But when I try to start OSX I get the following Kernel Panic:

 

panic(cpu 0 caller0x29e3d): "Should have 2 Threads, but only found 3 for Die 0"

 

My guess would be, that I need a different boot loader. The question is, are there other CD ISOs I should try or is there a way to install a boot loader using the terminal of the 10.6 retail DVD?

 

At the moment I don't have access to a system running OSX and a DVD drive ;)

 

For reference, here are the specs of the laptop:

 

-Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHz

 

- Intel 945PM Mainboard

 

-ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 - 256 MB

 

-AD1986 HD Audio

 

-Realtek 8169/8111 based LAN

 

-Intel Wireless

Look into DSDT patching.. You need to patch your DSDT file.

Thanks, that got me one step further :)

Now, after adding my patched DSDT to the boot CD I get stuck with the following error

"ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::pushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed"

during Ethernet initialization.

I will try adding the kext of the Realtec NIC to the CD, if that doesn't work, the problem probably is still with my DSDT, which would leave me clueless again ;)
