I have problem with JaS 10.4.8 instalation on my ASUS A6KM-Q097H laptop (Turion64, 1GB ram, Go7300). I can't install it becouse instalation booting process hangs at the beginning on

 

ACPI:System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)

 

i've tried with "platform=x86pc" and "acpi=off" like in my UBUNTU, but it doesn't help:(

 

Can anybody help me?

I am also trying to get the "JaS.Mac.OS.X.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.PPF.1.Integrated.JaS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3.Defiant diskutil fix.Integrated" image running on a Acer 9423 (dual core) but it's not working. Can't figure it out to get it running.

 

Is there something to do before installing OSX? I made a FAT32 partition with gparted and I can go through the OSX setup but at a certain level it's stopping and give me a fault in the log -> "Section 4: Fault...", or something

Kingskawn, try disabling a core in bios before installing.

 

Yes I was thinking of that too but the bios of an Acer 9423 laptop won't let you change anything. It's a bios but all the information is read only apparently, almost no option can be configured. The startup process can for example but overclocking or disabling an IDE or SATA could't

I have been seeing the same error ACPI:System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3) on a Toshiba Satellite Centrino based machine.

 

However, If I leave it on long enough, it eventually comes up with the error "Still waiting on root device"

 

Not sure how to fix it but I know I have seen a thread about it.

have you tried booting it with a different kernel yet? I would try semthex's lates kernel (10.4.8 only) or daemon's kernel.

For disabling one core you can do so by editing the plist, I can't remember how to get to it from boot (maybe by hitting f8 when it starts to load?) but I think you can get to terminal through your osx installation dvd.

Once in terminal type:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

edit the kernel flags to read this:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>platform=X86PC cpus=1</string>

 

And then alt+O to save then alt+x to exit.

 

That will allow it to run on one core.

 

I know for a fact that acer laptops wont allow you to run osx on two cores! (never reported one working on 2)

I have the same problem with D946GZIS mobo.

 

I tried all startup option and bios settings, but no use.

 

when i booted with -v debug=0x144 io=0xffffffff , i found out that it is always at

 

PCI bus operations. When I disabled AppleACPIPCI.kext in AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/Plugins

 

it progressed and enumerated device tree (DT plane), but drivers for PCI bus devices

 

( for IDE controller) are not loaded. So "Still waiting for root device" error.

 

 

The problem is with either ACPI driver or mobo ACPI implementation.

 

On systems that boot without problem ACPI State is (S0) not (S3) .

 

S3 is "suspend to ram" hence hangup.

 

If the problem is with the ACPI driver , we may fix it. (ACPIPlatform source is not public so it is hard).

It's not a DVD error; I've tried installing it on my system with multiple Jas/Uphuck versions from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9.

 

The error is always the same; the boot screen just stops at:

ACPI:System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)

 

Even with -x, -v, -s, platform=whatever, cpus=1...they don't help.

Does anyone have any useful suggestions?

I've got an Acer Veriton 6900pro with Q965 / ICH8DO with behaves exactly the same way.

After disabling AppleACPIPCI.kext the DT was enumerated without crashing, but without PCI devices booting isn't really exciting...

 

I think it's a buggy BIOS. Even Ubuntu 7.04 won't start until i use "irqpoll" as kernel option.

 

Is there anything like "irqpoll" in current XNU kernles?
