Frank van Hoof Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I am trying to install OSX on my Alienware M17X R3 but it keeps throwing panics at me before the setup even starts... My last attempt featured the Hazard 10.6.1 dvd, disabling almost everything in my bios (Intel superspeed, HD audio etc..), setting my HDD to AHCPI and booting using the flags: cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386 The panic is thrown before the setup even starts.. My Configuration: Alienware M17X R3 Sandy Bridge motherboard (don't know which exact one) InsydeH20 Version 1.0 A08 Bios Intel Core i7-2720QM CPU 4 GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M video Card (Along with integrated Intel HD Graphics card) Currently running Windows 7 64 Bit (Backed Up so I am able to fully format HDD) 320 GB Hard Drive Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller Bigfoot Networks WIFI Anybody have any ideas??
