thefighter Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Okay, I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800, and I patched up my dvd, thinking that I should only need: Extensions CPUID Maxxuss Patch Anti-TPM Patch Well, I know this is a common problem, and its something to do with PAE or NX. Now, I thought that I had both. (according to this, by the way, this is pretty good to check if your cpu has the right requirements http://images.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/...istory_big.gif) It says that my CPU has NX but on every single one of them, it doesn't say PAE. Well, how do I tell? I've googled, and cannot find. If I do have PAE and NX, then whats going on? Any help appriciated Thanks TheFighter Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5569-black-screen-reboot-after-dvd-inserted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefighter Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Just now wondering how to find out if I have NX and PAE. How do I? I just looked in my BIOS and I see nothing about NX or PAE. (Its some 'Award winning Pheonix BIOS' Thanks Again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5569-black-screen-reboot-after-dvd-inserted/#findComment-35247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
poursoul Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 It has been stated before in this forum quite a bit. All modern day processors have PAE, but that is not the issue. It depends on if your motherboard is enabling it or not. It is something about addressing 4GB of memory or more. More than likely your motherboard will not have it enabled unless you have 4GB installed. You may want to check the manufacturer to see if there is an updated BIOS online, if so check the changelog for PAE enabling.

thefighter Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 My BIOS doesn't have a clearly definded name really, but I will search around. Sorry, but all the topics ive read, are really confusing and I was all over the place with PAE. EDIT: Do you recon that using the no NX patch would work? Because I clearly have PAE enabled on Windows, so theres no explanation why its not working.

thefighter Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Some help please, there are no straight foward answers anywhere, and I cannot afford to keep wasting DVD's. I keep making different ISO's with different combinations of patches, and none work (well, I'm testing them on VMware to save disks, does that make any difference?) I keeo getting some Error about kernal stack or something, which I presume its exactly the same as my system spontaneously rebooting. There's gotta just be an answer somewhere!!! Thanks!

silentbob Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 As a matter of fact all PAE issue is confusing. I have 1.7GHZ M (dothan) no PAE, no XD. When i start osx (-v) i can see as 1st info after kernel loading: "PAE: enabled. However in system preferences in osx again - no PAE.

thefighter Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 "*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) *** The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down." This is the message I get everytime I try to boot using Vmware for the following combinations: CPUID, Extensions CPUID, TPM CPUID CPUID, TPM, Extensions CPUID, TPM, Extensions, Bootpatcher CPUID, RTC, NONX, TPM CPUID, RTC, NONX Maxxuss Kernal NoNx Bootpatcher, TPM The only two that seem to work, are the Wesley's Generic installer, and just the bootpatcher on its own :-S Its completely thrown me.
