Kernel panic after Sierra installation

[rahulk70]

Hi everyone,

 

I recently tried installing sierra on  my HP xw4600 workstation. My initial installation a month ago was working perfectly (Installation & post-installation) fine. I was able to boot and everything worked fine with the below configuration of my workstation.

 

Mobo: Intel 441449-001 Motherboard

GPU: Nvidia GT240

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650

HDD: WD 1TB 7200 rpm

 

I'm pretty sure the GPU isn't the issue because the installation was working perfectly fine until a month ago I had to reinstall the windows partition on my PC and resize the partitions as well. But after installing this time the installation of sierra goes fine with both the vanilla and hackintosh method. But after booting the initial installation I've been encountering this ACPI BIOS error. All the BIOS configuration was prior to the same as it was working fine.

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not quite familiar with the command line troubleshooting, however i can recommend you reinstalling Sierra Using Niresh Distro

@Giammi553 Thank you very much for the above suggestion mate  . Finally got sierra fully running. Tried macpwn method but got stuck at "still waiting for root". Finally used the distro 10.12.3 and got everything installed. I had to install 3 times in total because of kernel panics. Last time I just installed the bare OS, Chameleon and backup kext GPU and OSX Problematic. Everything went fine except no graphics acceleration or resolution(nvidia web doesn't work for me keeps reverting to OS X default). For some reason clover is causing kernel panics and no matter what I do doesn't seem to fix it. Only Enoch seems to fix things. 

 

Updating to 10.12.4 or above fixed the graphics issue but messes the usb. So, extracted the geforece*.kexts and NVDA*.kexts and booted up and voila fulls graphics acceleration but resolution was messed up since there wasn't my display resolution(1440x900) the system preference only had 1440x1060. Fixed it with ScreenResX app and got everything running. Also updated voodooHDA to 2.9.0 to get mic for Siri. 

 

Apart from iMessage everything is great with iMac 14,2.

 

Eagerly waiting for high sierra now!!
