Hey everyone. I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my HP Pavilion Dv2940se. It has been quiet an advanture so far, but I won't get into that. The sad part, is that i'm getting a Kernel Panic as soon as it says (in verbose) FireWire (OHCI): start - unable to get device memory.


(I'm terribly sorry for the bad quality pic, had to take it on my phone. I hope you can read it)

If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated

Well i got passed that kernel panic with a little tweaking, but now it hangs at, ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin: then it says something about AppleIntelCpuPowerManagment. Can anyone help me with that?

Get the NULLCPM.kext.

I know it is not very good to post on such old threads, but I have the same problem with the FireWire "unable to get device memory" and I don't have an option to disable the FireWire in the BIOS, so if the author or anybody else can tell me how to solve this I'll really appreciate it!
I'm stuck in this error and couldn't find an answer in the Internet after many hours of research.
