Ritter Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I am on a Dell e1505 but I have tried both old and new bios and none work. What is really odd is that I had it installing once but it would not boot. After toying with it, I was no longer able to get it to boot into the Mac partition at all so I deleted it and was going to start over and that is when it stopped booting off the DVD.

I looked up "dell e1505 acpi" on google, and some other people had problems with ACPI. Not major, just the occasional blue screen in windows. One suggested that they turn off dual core and/or speedstep. and i found this: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph..._Inspiron_E1505 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banini_jeque Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I tried several of the newest bios updates for my dragon lite, and none of them fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSombra Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi, I'm noob in Mac OS X installation and I tried JaS 10.4.8 reseeded. The installation worked smoothly, not problems at all. I installed the combo patches, sigmatel, ich8 and mkifs (I believe that's the name) and had problems on booting, IOPCIFamily kernel panic. When I tried again with semthex, I got kernel panic on ACPI. My computer is a Sony SZ280P which has: 1. Core Duo T2500 @ 2.0GHz 2. 2GB RAM DDR2 3. 120GB SATA Hard Drive 4. IPW3945 5. Bluetooth 6. Sigmatel audio 7. EDGE Modem 8. Nvidia Go7200 I can't change ACPI and dual core options on the BIOS. Any ideas? Thank you, LaSombra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamalaball Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) ok, solved to a certain extent. I reinstalled with -x -v platform=x86pc . in the install I took out the extra languages and let it do a full disk verify. Now I got the spinning lines, but blank screen after that. Dunno why. UPDATE: Get this error 4 times in -v mode: Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.appleUSBUHCI Edited January 6, 2007 by jamalaball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoneye_XP Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well... I've tried both 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 now and neither one of them boot because they give me the ACPI error. So unless there's a way to upgradeo 10.4.1 to 10.4.9, or there's a version os OSX86 somewhere that ACPI works in and I just haven't found it yet, then I think I am screwed...

DrSupachicken Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Heya, I have 10.4.10 running sweet as on my system, originally installed from JaS 10.4.8. I tried to do an install exactly the same on another HD on the identical system and it gave me the ACPI panic? Does anyone know why it would do that? Cheers.

Dragoneye_XP Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 This is the motherboard I have: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/generic...cname=c00100539 The ACPI implementation is not very good as far as I know. I cannot turn it off in my BIOS nor can I change things like RAM/clock speed, etc. Yeah, my comp sucks. This could be the problem, 'cause ACPI usually doesn't even work for me in Linux and I have to use APM. What changed between 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 and up made things not work anymore?

Tommy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I never have ACPI problem since 10.4.5 to 10.4.10, my motherboard is Intel D915GUX, i'm currently using S3 but S1 still work and my 10.4.10 support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
