Alex3305 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi y'all, I am kind of new to this forum (but not to OSX86, although I am quite a n00b at this ) and I recently have bought a new notebook, it's a Targa but that really doesn't matter .. The notebook got a nForce4 chipset (Chipset: C51, Southbridge: MCP51) and I want to install OSX on it. So I tried to boot OSX86 10.4.1 and I got a kernel panic, then I tried 10.4.7 (JaS) and I also got a nice kernel panic. I've read of others which cannot seem to get disk utility to work, but I even can't get in the friggin' installer and it's driving me kind of crazy . I also read that SATA is the problem of this and I think my drives are connected with SATA although SIW (System Information for Windows) says its connected through ATA in one window and in the other it says it's connected through IDE-SATA... Anyway here are the rest of my specs, maybe that it has another clue why it isn't booting: MSI MS-1638X Motherboard (nForce4 410/430?) AMD Turion X2 TL-52 processor 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 RAM Geforce Go 7700 256MB graphic card 160GB 5400RPM Harddrive @ ATA or SATA port? DVD-RW connected @ IDE (?) Thanks in advance and I hope my post is according to the rules - Alex3305 - Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47778-osx86nforce4-kernel-panic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex3305 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 *** bump *** Although I already read a lot of posts about nForce4 and also the SATA problem and fix, I can't seem to figure out why it isn't booting :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47778-osx86nforce4-kernel-panic/#findComment-343342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex3305 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Last bump (I guess),, Does no one seems to know what causes this problem and a solution for it?
