Dawkness Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Over the past week Ive been reading on OSx86 and ive been very interested in it. I tried a Snow Leopard install and i kept getting a Kernel Panic, So i booted into x32 Bit and the boot just froze. For this Install i used the AMD Patch and the hazzard Leopard. Specs- Acer Aspire 5534 (Laptop) CPU- AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz X64 Dual Core L310 GPU- ATI Radeon HD 3200 256 MB HDD- 320 GB HDD 4GB DDR2 780G AMD Chipset I would like to know what would be a good distro and the best Install possible. Im currently running Windows 7 x64, but im sure that has nothing to do with the error during the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhetPhish Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 When do you get the kernel panic? When you boot from the install disc or after SL has been installed? Also, what are you installing from? I would try iAtkos S3 V2 - if you get a kernel panic press F8 at the bootloader screen and try entering platform=X86PC or/and -x ('safe' mode). If you can get iAtkos to boot then make sure you install the qoopz kernel (or another one that supports AMD). To be honest with you I've only managed to get things running 100% with Intel CPUs and hardware, but I know a lot of people have had success with AMD. Googling your 780G chipset brings up a few guides so maybe check them out. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
