xCainex Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Here's hoping you can read most of the stuff on the screen. Cell phone pictures aren't exactly the paragon of image quality, unfortunately. CPU: P4 3.0C (Northwood non-SSE3 core IIRC) MB: Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 Rev 2.0 (i875p chipset) Memory: 1 GB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel DDR Video: ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB Hard drives: two WD1600JD 160GB 7200RPM SATA HDs and one 500GB USB 2.0 WD MyBook External drive Optical storage: Plextor PX-116A DVD-ROM and Samsung SH-182D DVD-RW drive Other stuff: Leadtek TV2000XP RM TV Tuner, Belkin 802.11g wireless card Mouse: USB Logitech MX400 Keyboard: PS2 Monitor: Viewsonic E90f CRT 10.4.8 is installed on a primary active partition on a separate hard drive from my regular OS (Vista), hard drive which it shares with an extended partition which I use for storage. When booting off that hard drive i get the boot loader and everything running properly but it kernel panics more often than not when trying to actually boot. And when it does manage to get into the GUI and everything's loaded up it panics within 20 seconds and freezes up. Any ideas? Anyone?

hecker Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The SATA drive (WD1600JD 160GB 7200RPM) is not working properly. Do you have RAID enabled in your BIOS? If so, you should try turning that off. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48497-boot-you-infernal-contraption/#findComment-347317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCainex Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 I actually used the RAID functio once upon a time, it's been disabled ever since. No boot-up RAID BIOS screen, nothing.

hecker Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hmm, I looked around the forum but was unable to find anything that corresponds to the issue you are describing here with that chip, except for the RAID problem. I can think of the following troubleshooting options: - Disabling any tuning/overlocking you may have set in your BIOS. - Physically removing devices except for those actually needed (TV-Tuner card, etc) - Cloning your OSX into a different (maybe IDE) hdd. Sorry I can't be of any more help, hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48497-boot-you-infernal-contraption/#findComment-347394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Are both your IDE Optical Drives on one channel? If not I would recommend you do that. Also did you apply the SATA patches during installation. I dont have much idea about Intel SATA support. But my Via SATA boots fine.

xCainex Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 The IDE optical drives might be a good lead, as I remember using the kernel off the DVD because of 10.4.8's booting probs and it ran fine. I'll chase that down as soon as I can get some free time.
