Lord_Jeremy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 First of all, it's generally not a good idea to only rely on OS X until you get it working stable. You might want to download a linux distro LiveCD on another computer and burn it so you can boot your computer to access the hard drive and such. From what I remember, that's a common problem with iDeneb. I think it's fixed by using the ACPIPlatform-old or somesuch option in the Customize when you install.

Reply back with your model and brand name and also try googling it. You should be able to obtain a specs page on the manufacturer's website that should help. There are a plethora of causes for KPs In order to better help you we would need to know what is displayed during the KP. A readable photograph of your screen with the KP information is a good start.

Lord_Jeremy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 @Dann2: As mentioned previously, please press F8 when your bootloader (the mac one) screen comes up and then type "-v" and press enter. Then let it boot as far as it will go and tell us what's on the last few lines of the screen. You can take a photo of it if you want. FYI a Kernel Panic is just a system crash, when you don't use -v it shows up as a grey box telling you to restart the computer.
