Hi, first of all, thank you for all your help. I've been struggling with this for over a month already and I couldn't find an answer anywhere. I've seen some forums where people said that they have successfully installed MAC on the same computer as mine.

I have an HP XW8200 workstation. My processor seems to fit the description when comparing to the supported hardware list on osx86 website. I have the Intel Xeon Duo processors.

I'm trying to install the iPC osx85 10.5.6 on my computer. I tried many various kernels and driver sets (but not multiple drivers = as instructed in the manual) BUT all seems to have sailed and I get kernel panic. Some users suggested me to try different osx86 releases but I don't know which one is the best for me.

Thank you for all your input.

If you already installed with your distro (iPC 10.5.6) and then you've got KernelPanic, try with this method:

- Download this Chameleon package: RC3EFI5.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2jgvjxt3dhz- Boot your PC with your DVD IPC

- Then press F8 key, write bootflag : rd=diskXsY -v cpus=1

- It should be come on Desktop OSX, extract RC3EFI5.zip, then execute this package.

- Run OSX86Tools.app or via DiskUtility.app >> repairdisk permission

- Reboot PC
- Start again with flag: -v -f cpus=1 (diskXsY means that partition of your HDD)

Good luck! :D
