hdavy2002 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Something must be wrong with the maxxuss patch. I don't have the original iso. Maxxuss did not supply an undo file with the ppf. I am stuck. I am not in a mood to download another iso after a 3 day. I do not have broadband connection. It takes time. my old 10.4.1 work well, only i cannot expand it to eat the whole hard drive. I hope someone comes to our rescue.

sinteger Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I get the "Unable to find a driver for this platform: ACPI" error when trying to boot a 10.4.4 install DVD that claims to have all patches except the AMD. My CPU runs NX, PAE, SSE3, and all that {censored}. I am running a pc of the following specs: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2GHz) Venice core, Socket 939 MSI K8NGM2-L/MS-7207 (eMachines T6528) motherboard; GeForce 6100/nForce 410 chipset Seagate ST3160212A 160GB 7200RPM ATA/100 HDD (0:0) Seagate ST320413A 20GB 5400RPM 512K ATA/100 HDD (0:1) (This is where I want to install it) TSSTcorp TS-H552D/Samsung SH-W162D Dual Layer Multimode DVD/RW 1GB KVR400AK2 Kingston Value Ram Dual-Channel DDR400 Kit, CL3 VisionTek Xtasy ATI Radeon X1300 512MB GDDR-2 PCI-E x16 Belkin F5D7001 802.11g (G+) PCI card, Broadcom BCM4318 chipset I have tried removing all cards and using onboard video, disabling ACPI functions, as well as disabling everything except the onboard IDE controller. I tried to be as thorough as possible with the specs of the system and issue. If there is anything else that will help, I will be more than happy to retrieve and post it. This DVD boots and seems to install fine in VMWare 5.5.1. However, I use the Disk Utility to make the drive usable, and when it reboots, VMWare says the partition has been altered and won't work.

sinteger Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Ok... looks like I got past the ACPI part... My once-eMachine MSI mobo had emachine's bios on it, dated 2/16/06 or something. i downloaded the ones on msi's site, dated 1/12/06, and that fixed the DVD not booting part. now it installs, but when i reboot i get some kernel panics....

ia132 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I had the same problem (Unable to find driver for this platform: ACPI). You need to hit the "Customize" button right before OSX starts installing and select to install the additional patches relevant to your system. Hope that helps some people.

zedzed Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Here is my problem. The computer was working just fine until last night - running 10.4.9. I did the QuickTime update and changed RAM from dual channel 533 speed to single channel 667 speed. I have an Intel D945GNTLKR mobo with GMA950 and I thought that upgrading ram speed would improve video performance since I use the computer as a PVR. I installed the RAM and now it will not boot - giving me the ACPI driver error. I have tried setting BIOS to both S1 and S3 states but no luck either way. Update: Fixed my problem using http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=41603 deleted the kextcache file and rebooted Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5015-unable-to-find-a-driver-for-this-platform-acpi/#findComment-364040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrosBedo Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hello all I had the same problem and found this thread. I tried what you say Zedzed but it didn't worked, simply because the problem wasn't because of a buggued kext (the user installed none, only default ones were present). I then found another thread, here: http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php...amp;o=&vc=1 The method explained there worked for me, even if I had to do some further search to find solutions for problems that arisen while trying this method. I'll post a reply there to explain what things I had to do to make everything works smoothly, but I can assure you it works, and even if I don't know Mac very well I can say that this technic should work 99% of the time because of the way it works: in fact you will update your system, repairing any faults like you were reinstalling, but without reinstall ! Good luck to you if you encountered this error and found this thread, I hope it will work as well for you than me.
