el_pinjo Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi all, I recently bought a Acer Aspire M7811. This is a Core i7 based platform. Specs are as follows: Intel Core i7 860 Intel H57 express chipset 6GB DDR3 memory 1.5TB Ecodrive HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT320 1GB DDR3 I am convinced it should work, but please correct me if this is not a configuration that could work. So far I have read throug many topics, but none have helped me so far. What I did up to now: Downloaded and burned Empire EFI for the Core i7 1.085 Booted Empire EFI, switched the DVD with the snow leopard install DVD (the original upgrade DVD) During booting snow leo, it rebooted; tried with -v; after a lot of reboots noticed it reboots after the line "starting Mac OSX". Then I discovered in the threads to use the following boot params: "cpus=2 busratio=21", which also did help me... So I don't know what is wrong and why it reboots. please help me solving this issue.

Hello, I have Intel i3 processor with H57 chipset. I am able to boot from SL DVD but it doesn't recognize my SATA HDD or ethernet card. Does your installation of SL recognizes them....?
