HPET issue (kernel panic)

[neer2005]

So i managed to get SL installed onto my netbook with netbookbootmaker

installation went fine but then during the first boot i get a panic saying

no hpets available ... cpu(s) configured incorrectly\n"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-76/pmThread.c:155

 

Backtrace shows:

Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):

com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(76.0.0)@0x55628000->0x55646fff

 

after a little researching it seems i have to patch the DSDT but i cannot even boot into the system how can i patch my DSDT?

also i was wondering if i could just delete that kext altogether what would be the problems if i did that?

tryed to delete the kext via single user mode but dont have enought time till the panic

tryed deleting it via the install dvd using terminal but gives me a read only error?

Much thanks for anyone who can point me in the right direction

There is always a way. Well almost always.

 

Use a Linux live CD. This one for example:

Google/Forum Search for how to extract and edit the DSDT in Linux.

 

If you have Windows installed you can use the Windows version of this to extract and patch your DSDT:

Hello,

You should not try the previous post. Try to boot with "-v -f" flags and if it doesn't work try with boot flag "-v recovery=yes". There is after that many paths to follow if your install is still buggy, but no one looking like the previous post.

Good luck.

I am always curious to learn new things, please explain why you think that nothing I said was useful.

I will try the second method as it seems easier and if that does not solve the issue i will go with the first method thanks to you both
