porka Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi Guys, I have been trying to get uphucks version of osx86 working with my acer for a few days now. I have tried many many different install options and flags when booting but still no joy after the best part of 15 re-installs. Currently the furthest that I am getting is to the restart screen or where the kernel is loading if I do -v. This is with using just the Intel SSE3 -2 Kernel and Remove CPUPowerManagement Kext. Before removing that kext it would crash on IOAPIC.. My laptop specs are Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi, 2.0Ghz Core Duo CPU, 2GB RAM, 160GB ICH7 SATA HDD, X1600 Mobility GPU I have tried safe mode, single user mode, platform=x86pc, cpus=1 and combinations of them all but still nothing. Any help will be much appreciated, Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56066-uphuck-1049-acer-travelmate-8204wlmi-restart-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mourngrym1969 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yep. I know what the problem is exactly. Your ethernet chipset is using a different memory/IO range than the ones defined in the AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext file. You can either attempt to get your device ID, vendor ID and memory ranges by booting into windows and using the control panel's device manager, then boot and edit the Info.plist file for the driver and try to boot again OR you can boot off your install CD, don't start the install, from the top menu choose 'Terminal' and do the following: * mkdir /Volumes/YourMacDrive/backup - creating a backup directory to move things to is always a good idea * cd /Volumes/YourMacDrive/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins - 'YourMacDrive' should be substituted with the name of your drive * mv AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext /Volumes/YourMacDrive/backup * touch /Volumes/YourMacDrive/System/Library/Extensions * rm /Volumes/YourMacDrive/System/Library/Extensions.mkext * rm /Volumes/YourMacDrive/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache * kextcache -k /Volumes/YourMacDrive/System/Library/Extensions Then reboot. You should now be able to complete the install/registration movie and setup. Remember, you will not have wired ethernet until you resolve your problem with this driver (or have to use another method like wireless or USB, which I did). Good Luck!
