mitch101 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi guys. I tried to install OS X today, but I can't get to the installer. I'm trying to do it off of USB with the Clover bootloader. I am not sure how to type in flags, and my laptop's inbuilt keyboard doesn't work apart from Enter and arrow keys. Plugging in a USB keyboard doesn't work. The error I get is Local APIC Error and then a panic. I don't have a camera so I can't take a pic. Specs: HP Pavilion dv6-3136tx Notebook 6GB DDR3 (I think) RAM ATI Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics 5650 Graphics Card Intel Core i5 Processor Windows 7 Home Premium Just to clarify, I CAN NOT GET INTO THE INSTALLER.

donovan6000 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 @mitch101 That kernel panic is common with HP computers with Intel i series processors. You can either boot with cpus=1 or use a modified kernel to prevent it for occuring. Cpus=1 will limit your cpu to only using one of it's cores though, so it will hinder your computer's preformance. I consider the latter to be a much better option. I wrote a utility a few months ago that can patch kernels to bypass the lapic kernel panic. You can patch the kernel on your USB with it.

Gringo Vermelho Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Chameleon 2.2 with the kernelpatcher module has the lapic fix as well iirc.

Here it is Patcher uses OS X which is a no go. And I fixed the keyboard, but no idea how to enter flags in Clover.EDIT: Woohoo! I found out how, and CPUs=1 worked! Thanks guys. /close Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290660-hp-pavilion-dv6-3136tx-local-apic-error/#findComment-1933199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
