markusm Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi there! Trouble at sea, so I'll just start with my spec, and then my problems: Intel Core 2 Quad - Q8200 - 2,33 ghz Intel X48 Chipset 8 GB 1066 MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM 1 GB ATI Radeon 3870 X2 2xSATA 500gb drives (unsure about the manufacturer, but I suspect WD?) So, this is what's up: Trying to set up a PC I don't really use, to OSX Snow Leopard, and I get my hopes up as the install goes smoothly and everything seems OK - until I install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or MyHack after the first boot of SL. Then it just won't boot again. After installing, I get just a black screen with a _ blinking when I try to boot from the disk, and if I boot in safe mode through Empire Efi, I get Kernel panic (see attached picture). I've tried Tonymacx86's guide (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-install-mac-os-x-on.html), both the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] way, and from a downloaded DSDT (DSDT-Intel-BOXDP55KG-1.aml). Then I tried the MyHack from Thumbdrive way (http://andrewmajot.com/blog/2010/08/10-6-snow-leopard-pc/) Now -- I have no idea what's going wrong. A few things I suspect: - I'm unable to specify AHCI-mode in the Bios Setup (Dell Bios A01), however I seem to have read that the RAID-setup for my chipset (Intel X48) should be in AHCI automatically? - There don't seem to be any DSDT-files specifically for the X48-chipset. Is this simply incompatible? If anyone has any ideas, I'm eternally greatful Sincerely, Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enochpc Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Have you tried booting with the CPUS=1 flag? It looks like the error is about misreading the number of cores on your chip. Not positive, but worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusm Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Ok tried to disable the multiple cores. Still get Kernel-panic, but with slightly different parameters: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
