naf456 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hi, wow...I was thinking of buy that laptop- instead I got a ASUS A52f- literally 3 hours ago... Same processor - i3 napalm...Now I'm just wondering whether I need sandy bridge for a vanilla install ?

revertive Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hi, wow...I was thinking of buy that laptop- instead I got a ASUS A52f- literally 3 hours ago...Same procestsor - i3 napalm...Now I'm just wondering whether I need sandy bridge for a vanilla install ? I could be the Integrated GPU from the i3 thats holding back the installer to boot, but i dont know for sure. I have seen some people who did manage to install with an Core i3 but they had external GPU's. I hope there is someone one this forum with more knowledge of this matter.

revertive Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Its almost solved, seemed to be a problem with my bootloader. Now it doesn't reboot anymore, but it seems to hang at "Waiting for DSMOS". I searched for obvious error, and these three lines seem to point to a problem. 1. ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::StartForReal - WatForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement)) timed out 2. ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - failed to locate SMC driver 3. Waiting for DSMOS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266098-acer-aspire-5740-core-i3-hm55-bootloop/#findComment-1738996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
