jakehewitt526 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...0l0l267l267l2-1 I have tried both the L502x guide and the L701x guide but neither of them address my issue. I know how to google, I have been searching the web for the past 3 days, either nobody has a similar problem or those who do have the same problem have not been answered.

Dellmantt Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Well search for ACPI error e.g. First link of the search I gave you 6. Use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy to boot and choose the select USB drive to install with the following options "-v -f GraphicsEnabler=No cpus=1 busratio=20" .

I have done that. Like I said I know how to use google, I searched the web for days before I even posted here, the solution is not out there. What causes the acpi error is it the bios, the disc, the hd, other hardware?
