eep357 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 OK, don't do that, just burn it to a disk or something. Once booting is passed off to OSX, OSX needs to be able to read an ISO disk image to boot, which it cannot do, same as it cannot boot from an unrestored dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep357 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 +1. There is more info on that kernel panic screen that should be useful? Please also include the hardware specs of your laptop so we don't have to go searching for them based on the model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
