Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Tell us about your computer: brand, motherboard, processor, video card, etc. Also, did you do any tweaking? And that jpg is huge - takes forever to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It's having problems loading the graphics drivers. Did you do any tweaking with them? Maybe try to remove one video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariannus Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 No I haven't tried tweaking anything. I installed from the 10.4.6 JaS disk. I tried removing the 5700 and I got this: http://www.jcswan.com/IMG_5748.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 When you installed with the 10.4.6 JaS disk, right before you clicked on the "Install" button, did you first click on the "Customize" button on the left? What packages did you select to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariannus Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 No I dodn't pick customize. I was almost falling asleep while installing I didn't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 You must select customize and pick the packages that pertain to your machine. Choose either SSE2 or SSE3, but not both, based on what your processor is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Can you turn off hyperthreading in BIOS? Give that a try. Also, see if you can read what might be displayed as errors (as it scrolls passed) before the kernal panic that you took a picture of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
