[Solved] AMD having problems booting after installation

[Mark7807]

Current Specs

 

When booting up to OSX after installation has been complete, I get a kernel

panic stating the following

 

panic (cpu 0 caller 0x2a76e6) : "Version mis-match between kernel and CPU PM"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1456.1.25/osfmk/i386/pm CPU. c:673 Debugger called: <panic>

 

That's just a short bit of what comes up. The pic attached is not the EXACT error that comes up, I just don't have a working digital camera and this seemed REALLY close to the error I was getting.

 

I used Hazard's Distro for the installation with the Modbin Kernel and chain0 bootup.

 

Again that is not a picture I took, my digital camera is messed and this so happened to be very close to the error I was getting

Can you try to boot without Sleepenabler.kext?

[user01100]

"Version mis-match between kernel and CPU PM"

Delete the SleepEnabler.kext if any. And also Disabler.kext, Null...kext.

[Mark7807]

How do I go about deleting/disabling kexts? Is it a boot option of some sort to just disable it temporarly?

[mdnz01]

No, just boot into your distro DVD again and select "Terminal" in on the installation menu. Just place sleepenabler.kext somewhere else (Like /kexts) for example, or just remove it.

When attempting this area

Login as Root

sudo -s

 

All I get is -bash: sudo: command not found.

[mdnz01]

When you are booting from the DVD, you are in single user graphical mode. Which means that, simply said, you are always root, without a password. You can tell by the bash itself:

 

bash#: # means root-access

bash$: $ means limited access

 

In single user mode you don't have to use sudo to execute root commands so be careful of what you type.

 

When you are in the terminal just run these commands:

 

rm -rf /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext (if present)

rm -rf /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/Extra/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext (probably present here)

[Mark7807]

rm -rf /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext (if present)

rm -rf /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/Extra/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext (probably present here)

I typed those and it would say rm is not a command. I got rid of the space between rm and -rf and it would say for both of them that the directory/file was not found. I was case sensitive and for the way my volume was setup with a space I put

 

rm-rf "/Volumes/MAC HD/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext"

rm-rf "/Volumes/MAC HD/Extra/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext"

I know this is probably getting rediculous for you to explain, I think Terminal hates me.

Tip: Use the TAB key to autocomplete input.

 

For spaces you need to do this in your case:

 

rm [sPACE HERE] -rf [sPACE HERE] /Volumes/MAC\ /HD/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext

rm [sPACE HERE] -rf [sPACE HERE] /Volumes/MAC\ /HD/Extra/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext

 

Yes, it sucks if you've never used the terminal before.

[Mark7807]

It says rm is not a command WHAT THE.... I typed in exactly that. I might just have to wait for my friend to come over and throw in a new motherboard that should work this setup I have currently unless you have other suggestions

[mdnz01]

That's very weird indeed... I have never seen a situation where it says something basic like 'rm' could not be found, maybe there's an error on your DVD or something.

[Mark7807]

Would using another Distro's DVD, just to use terminal work?

[mdnz01]

Try it.

[Mark7807]

Okay so my comp was out of commission for a few days, it's back up with iPC 10.5.6 Leopard on it now!

 

So I can say I finally have mac on my PC!!! Now, I need the proper drivers for ethernet, video and audio. Right now I have a ATI 4850 for my video card, NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Marvell Gigabit LAN driver) for ethernet, and Creative SB Live! series.

 

Also I installed iPC with the PS/2 Keyboard patch selected. However, when I try to boot up with my PS/2 Keyboard it just simply won't boot, where as if I have my parents USB keyboard plugged in it boots just like normal.

[cosmicovertones]

You should ditch the PS2 keyboard and just get a cheap usb one. I did that and saved myself the hassle, and an extra kext that needs to be loaded on boot slowing the boot process.
