Freeze after start

[mudemi]

hi guys,

i am searching since 2 weeks for a solution, but i am getting really desperate.

at first here my system:
laptop asus z92km (barebone a6km)
amd turion ml 34 1,8ghz
1gb ram 400mhz
geforce 7300 go

that should be the most important things.

now my problem. my system freezes after few seconds after booted up. i have found out that there is a problem with gfx card. when i start without any driver and injecter, there is also no freeze, but of course just vesa mode (1024x768, no qe, no ci).

the weired thing, under tiger my geforce go 7300 worked fine, with qe and ci and resolution change (native resolution is 1280x800).

now i have tried out different leopard install versions and nearly every injecter i could find via google (nvkush,nvinjectgo,natit,titan,nvdarwin) i also added manual my dev id 0x01d7 to the proper, but everytime i get the same proplem. after few seconds using leopard with qe and ci my system crashes. keyboard and mouse dont react anymore.

anyone any ideas, i could try?

i myself dont know anymore what i could do.

could there be a problem with bus speed, or acpi or sth like that. i noticed that tiger shows in system profiler my bus speed correct with 400mhz, but leopard shows just 200mhz. anyone knows how to fix this so i could see if this is the problem.

lots of thx for any help, any ideas.

Hey given it a try over here I see. InsanelyMac has been getting slower by the day.

Just so everyone can see the steps that led up to this. Here is a link to your previous post over on InsanelyMac.

Your problem is beyond my limited knowledge.

yeah,

well, i really want this thing. so i won´t give up.

the thing is, that i have read from a lot of other users, that geforce go 7300 works with leopard, so there must be sth wrong with my installation.

i also read, that a fresh install doesn´t work properly, but update from tiger will work, so i will try this now. but at the moment, i don´t know, how i could update tiger 10.4.9(uphuck) to leopard 10.5.2(kalyway) or leopard 10.5.4(leo4allv4.1).


get it hard or die trying :P

You don't get any errors when you installed 10.5.2 did you?

[mudemi]

hey, i dont get any errors with any leopard version, as long as i am in vesa mode.

tiger works correct with qe/ci.
this last error, which i described at insanelymac, now happens with kalyway 10.5.2

i am quite sure, that this problem is the prob for every distro

it says "local apic error"

[mudemi]

omg

well, i don´t want to scream it too early and too loud,
but it seems to be fixed. my system is working!!! i have got an working leopard on my asus laptop .. wuhaaa, plz plz plz - go asus go :P

well, it was a local apic error, like i wrote the post before.

the fix is, i have to boot up with platform=x86pc

til now, it works absolutely correct, with QE AND CI and NO FREEZE!!!

could anyone tell me the difference between PLATFORM=ACPI or PLATFORM=x86PC ???

cheers - omg
yeaaaah, yeaaaahhhh

PS: Lol, i just have read, that APIC is not ACPI ... so, it was just a LUCK SHOT???
hmmmm .. anyone here to tell me, why it did work with this flag??

[Anarchyw]

lanceomni - seems like i have similar hardware as you, which OS x 86 are you using ?

[mudemi]

hi, well

unfortunately the system crashes are anyway too much.

now i can work for some times, but after about 30minutes or more i got the same error again. local version error.

i guess there is sth with that kernel panic during boot up.

LOCAL APIC VERSION 0x14 NOT AS EXPECTED.

I have read, that 0x14 is LAPIC for Intel Pentium and Intel Xeon CPUs. Of course I have got an AMD ML-34 Turion, but nothing in my BIOS to disable APIC.

Does anyone know, how to use the apic kernel flags?

nolapic, disableapic

do i have to write them just down? or this way -disableapic or this way disablepanic=1 ...

thx for any help, cheers
