This is my box specs:

 

http://www.anandtech.com/mysystemrig.aspx?rigid=32333

 

When the Darwin boot loader boots ups I get kernel panics, it stops saying the VIA Chip /SATA & USB, so I disabled USB support in my BIOS and I didn't get the panic on this, but of course with my drives running SATA I can't disable this.

 

I can take a screenshot of the bootup screen if needed, but I thought the, "Mac OS X 10.4.8 - JaS AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 incl. PPF1" image supports SATA?

 

Aren't my box specs fine?

 

Also I'm doing this dual boot with XP. I have C & D partition on XP as the first two primary partitions and OSX as the 3rd partition listed as FAT32 Primary.

 

THANKS

Someone told me on the irc channel that they have via sata, and it works without anything special.

 

I'll take a screen shot of this.

 

My camera sucks I can't get a clean shot. This is what it says just before the panic:

 

"Apple ACPI Thermal has no kernel dependency"

 

Then below another panic is listed and looking for dependencies showing a list of a few devices.

 

So all I can think is possibly this is the issue not the SATA.

 

THANKS

Your kernel panic is because you have an Athlon XP processor

This only supports the SSE instruction set

 

For OSX you need at least SEE2

 

(well some people at looking at hacking 10.4 to work with SSE i have no idea how far they have actually come with it tho)

Hi,

 

this is my first post, and i have been reading this forum for a while, but have not found the exact location of my problem, so i really sincerely apologise if this is in the wrong place...

 

i have attached my kernel panic in picture format to this post. (i apologise, its only the first part of the panic, it took an hour to get to this point, if you need more, let me know). I am using JaS 10.4.8, + JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSe2.SSe3.v1p.ppf + Defiant.diskutil.7.ppf + Blacksoul's .ppf

 

I first tried to install on SATA Maxtors (two of them in RAID0) and found out that my nforce4 board wasn't supported, so i dug around for a long while and found the above mentioned ppfs and integrated them into my install dvd and tried to re-install.

 

i managed to get it to install on both PATA and a single SATA drive, however, it took about 18 - 24 hours on both drives. and when i booted into osx it would just hang at the grey apple screen. it was weird because it took so long to go through the startup into the install sequence, but when i went into the mac disk util during install, formatting the partition to HFS+ took barely any time at all, it was almost like there was nothing wrong with the install at that point. it was just super slow installing and it never started. i left the computer on for 24 hours and when i checked back it was still the same grey apple screen....

 

i'm thinking there must be something i have missed here. or maybe i put too many patches on. i'm just confused with where to go now, but i am determined to get this running, so i finally broke down and posted.

 

my specs are:

Gigabyte GA-K8NE nforce 4

AMD Sempron 3300+

1024MB RAM

Nvidia Geforce 6600LE pci-e

2x Maxtor 160GB SATA

also 1x Seagate 250GB ATA (not currently connected)

NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-R/W DL

Vista

 

I am patiently and hopefully awaiting any help anyone can offer.
