10.4.8 Semthex on Qosmio G35-AV600

OK. I run a Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600 with specs as follows:

  • Intel Core Duo T2400 @ 1.83GHz
  • 1GB DDR2 Ram
  • 2x Toshiba 80 GB SATA II Hard Drives
  • Intel 945pm Chipset w/ ICH7
  • 17" WXGA :)

I followed the pastebin instructions for setting up a Semthex Nebukadnezar test system, line for line. At the end of the guide, as soon as I reboot after unzipping files to root of test drive and boot with -s -v -legacy parameters, it goes, and then either FREEZES or gives UNRESOLVED KERNEL TRAP (TYPE 14=PAGE FAULT) -- pictures shown below. The freezing and kernel panicking are dependent on what my BIOS flags are set to. With all the different combinations that are possible, it is hard for me to determine what causes what. Here are my available BIOS settings that have anything to do with CPU/Power stuff:

 

BATTERY OPTIONS:
Battery Save Mode ->High Power
				Low Power
				User Setting ->	 Processing Speed ->	Low | High
							CPU Sleep Mode ->	Enabled | Disabled
							LCD Brightnes ->	(doesnt matter)
							Cooling Method ->	(doesnt matter)
PCI Express Link ASM ->	Auto | Enabled | Disabled
Enhanced C-States ->	Enabled | Disabled


OTHERS:
Core Multiprocessing ->	Enabled | Disabled
Dynamic CPU Speed ->	Always Low | Always High | Dynamic
Execute-Disable bit ->	Enabled | Disabled
Virtualization Tech ->	Enabled | Disabled


DEVICE CONFIG -> Setup by OS | All Devices

 

Can anyone help me determine what the cause is to this freaking problem??? I have a really nice laptop and I don't want it only running windows, or OS X without QE/CI. 10.4.6 works, but I have to set Processing speed to LOW and Dynamic CPU speed to always low, otherwise i get kernel panic with Local APIC error. Ugh. Here are the images of a halt and a unresolved kernel trap:

 

Most of the settings i've tried are fsb=166, fsb=133, fsb=100, fsb=200, and nothing more than that. my fsb according to intel's chart is 667 and i think that is quad pumped.

After unzipping files to root, I hope you repaired permissions and removed/updated the kextcache files.

 

The 2nd picture implies that there is a problem with the PCCard kext. Might want to remove that temporarily to see if the problem goes away. Go into single user mode while rebuilding the kextcache (F8 and -v -s -f -legacy). If you successfully get in, type:

mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mkdir Extensions.disabled
mv IOPCCardFamily.kext Extensions.disabled/
cd /System/Library
rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache
diskutil repairPermissions /
reboot

Rammjet is correct. I had the same problem as you James. Boot with only -v fsb=166. Make sure you have disabled IOPCCardFamily.kext, ApplePCCardATA.kext, and ApplePCCard16ATA.kext. Assuming you do these things, and that you are using a system installed with the JaS 10.4.8 ISO, you should get to the GUI without any studdering. Good luck.

You can go ahead and delete ApplePCCardATA.kext and ApplePCCard16ATA.kext just to be safe, although I believe these kexts are only for Apple laptops.

 

And since (667/4=166), be sure to add fsb=166 to your boot.plist under Kernel Flags.

If you installed with the JaS 10.4.8 ISO, and get KERNEL TRAP like the picture show.

How can you remove the IOPCCardFamily.kext, ApplePCCardATA.kext, and ApplePCCard16ATA.kext ?

I have two installations. I created the second one so i could change kexts and stuff, and add updated kernels if need be. I've gotten to the login window, but if i change my bios settings to make my processor more powerful, I get unresolved kernel trap..... anyone know why?
