BearsOMG Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Ok, after searching google for a week trying to solve my problem, I gave up and decided to ask for help here. So, when I realized that I could get snow leopard for $30 off amazon, I couldn't resist and I was pretty sure my computer would work perfectly fine for a hackintosh. Once I got the cd, I tried many different methods of booting the retail install cd, all to no avail. Every time it instantly goes to a kernel panic (picture attached) I have tried safe mode also, but once it's done loading all the kexts it also kps. I tried using many different boot flags, including cpus=1, -f, -x, busratio=20 but none of it works and it still won't boot. I have heard from my google searches that with ASUS computers you should get a modified bios, but I can't find any for my specific motherboard. Specs: ASUS CG5270 Desktop P5QL-VM-EPU Motherboard Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 8GB DDR2 RAM 1TB SATA Hard Drive SATA DVD Drive ATI Radeon HD 3470 Trying to Install: Snow Leopard Retail 10.6.3 Please, I want to do this with my disc, NOT torrent one of the hacked distros.

By different methods I meant bootloaders and stuff like that. Tried Empire EFI, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported and ATI, myHack installer on usb hard drive, EP45UD3P Snow Leopard install package, boot-132, netkas' PC EFI 10.5, none of them worked and brought me to the same kernel panic. Also, if I did just try to boot to the CD I wouldn't have gotten a panic at all, it would have just gone right to booting my hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
