KERNEL Panic

[fghot56]

After many attempts, I finally managed to get OSx86 installed but to sadly it was just not meant to be yet. Kernel Panic starred me in the face. I have tried as many combinations of commands to get it to go as I can think of but no such luck. I've tried just the basic -v -x to a bunch of other stuff including -y -f -legacy cpus=1 busratio=26 but no luck.

 

My computer hardware is as follows

 

CPU-Intel I7-980x 3.33ghz 6-core

Ram-1600 DDR3 6x2gb

HD- 2x1tb SATA2

Graphics- Geforce GTX 480 (fermi) 1.5gb

MotherBoard-ASUS P6X58D-E

 

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!!

I just hope I can get past this road bump to get MAC running on my pc !!!

the sleep enabler kext is causing a panic, you may not be able to use sleep after deleting this kext but you may at least be able to boot

 

boot into single user mode by using -s at boot and type sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kext

why you use patched kernel

use vainalla 10.4

My first attempts at install was using the boot132 disk and trying to boot into a retail version of snow leopard but after many failed attempts I moved on a tried SnowLeo which must be why the kernel is patched and not vanilla.

 

Also I removed Sleepenabler which got rid of the Panic screen but all it does is sit on the Apple screen now (when not in verbose) and just restarts when in verbose.

 

Thanks for responding any new suggestions?

if you have

retail dvd

burn this cd

and turn sata to achi

boot with this flag

rd(0,0)/extra/legacy_kernel busratio=16 -v

Thanks for the fast response. I went and burned the dvd and then put in my Snow Leopard dvd. I then put in the tag that you said and this time it did some new stuff that it hadn't in my previous attempts. At this point I was very hopeful but it ended up hittting a stand-still. It ended on this screen where it sat for 15 minutes till I rebooted (should I have waited longer)

you must wait

no error found on this

dual dvd is to slow

I think I miss read what I was suppose to do the first time. I went to go reinstall and it took forever for it to get past that one message but 4 hours later it finally did. The installer though kept freezing that's when I realized that maybe all I had to do was load what I had already installed but use the legacy_kernel off the CD to do so. I did that and it did give me some more information but the end result was still the same. I was not able to take a picture of the final screen because it shut off too quickly but it was a bunch of messages about failed kexts loading and fsck and what not. If there is anything in particular that I could look at that might give you guys more information just let me know. Thanks for the help you have given so far I feel like it is getting closer to being a success!
