Kiggold Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Alrite, so I have been trying to install OSX for several days on my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. Specs are: Core2Duo T7100 @ 1.8Ghz 2GB ram ddr 2 @ 667Mhz 120gig sata HD 8400GM (128MB) I am going to dual boot with vista using the vista boot manager and chain0 I correctly set up the partition (id=af) and set it active So i first tried installing 10.4.9 onto the laptop using uphuck 1.4i_r3 and on when I tried to install it, it would hang on the line "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 0:23" I tried running -x, -v, legacy, platform=x86pc, platform=acpi, noapci, cpus=1, but to no avail nothing worked Now i have downloaded the JaS 10.4.8 sse2 sse3 AMD+Intel DVD and i sucessfully installed OSX, however when i try to boot it. it hangs on the exact same line, "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 0:23" I sometimes get a kernel panic if i don't use the "cpus=1" flag I tried running -x, -v, legacy, platform=x86pc, platform=acpi, noapci, cpus=1, but to no avail nothing worked In BIOS, my harddrive is set to ATA mode and Flash Module is set to disabled, as suggested in other DELL threads. Here is the exact error message everytime it hangs: hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000 PAE enabled 64 bit mode enabled enabling INTEL features standard timeslicing quantum is 10000us vm_page_bootstrap: 510557 free pages mig_table_max_displ = 71 Enabling XMM register save/restore and sse/sse2 opcodes Skipping duplicate extension "com.apple.driver.appleRTL8139Ethernet" with old/same version (1.2.0 -> 1.2.0).
