sarahbau Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've been running my Hackintosh for a few weeks now, and pretty much everything is working fine except one thing. I would prefer to use DVI instead of VGA, but whenever I connect the monitor through DVI, I get a kernel panic at what I can only assume is when Callisto loads. I thought that maybe it was because I originally had it connected to VGA when I installed everything, then switched to DVI, but when my new HD came in, and I installed OS X on it, with DVI connected the whole time, the same thing happened. After installing Callisto, when I rebooted, it kernel panicked at the apple logo with spinning gear. Naturally the first thing I tried was to boot in verbose mode so I could see the actual panic instead of just seeing the "restart your computer" screen, but for some reason, instead of panicking, it just locked up, so I couldn't see what the message was. There is also nothing stored in panic.log. Now I'm glad that I didn't get that second matching monitor when I saw it on sale on NewEgg. lol. Has anyone else had this problem, and been able to fix it? I did some searches, but came up with nothing. Here is what I'm using: ATI Radeon X800 256MB (0x554f) Pentium 4 630 ECS 945P-A 1.0 Motherboard Callisto b008 10.4.4 Radeon 9700 drivers modified as per these instructions JaS 10.4.8 SSE2/SSE3 AMD/Intel with Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48573-vga-works-fine-dvi-kernel-panics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Bump. Anyone have any idea about this? I'd rather not have to buy a new video card. This one works pretty well other than the DVI not working yet.

Xeijin Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Have you tried a different version of Castillo? I had numerous problems and tried all the versions but found the only one which worked for me was b006 (b003 just didnt work, b008 wouldnt let me change resolution).

sarahbau Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 If I remember correctly, every time I downloaded b006, it was an incomplete file. It uncompressed and everything, but one of the .plist files was just cut off half way down.
