P35-UD3L empire EFI "can't initialize disk cache"

Please help. I first tried Kakewalk for the P45-UD3L (I have P35) and it would not load Snow Leopard. It goes to the blue screen and hangs there.

 

I then tried Empire EFI. It loaded the disk and installed with no errors. Upon first boot (also with empire EFI) the PC automatically shuts down.

 

It happens very very quickly but I was able to snap a picture of the error. I attached it.

 

I went into single user mode and tried to run fsck -fy

 

I get the following message:

 

** /dev/rdisk0s2

Can't initialize disk cache

/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8

 

Looks like it may be due to having 8 GB of RAM:

I can boot if I use the options "-v maxmem=4096" in Empire EFI

 

I don't have any IDE devices. How do I disable JMicron on this board? Onboard IDE controller is DISABLED in the bios

I am having the same problem. The fsck command line tool does not work with over 4 GB of RAM even though everything else works fine. I do not think it has anything to do with SATA/PATA controllers since the OP has an Intel southbridge while I have an nVidia southbridge. I am using Andy's updated legacy kernel. Perhaps this is the problem.

 

@OP do you know what kernel you are using?
