I tried but safe mode is giving me a reboot your pc kernel panic. i checked with -v and still cpu panic. It doesn't boot like last time. Lat time i boot into -x it lasted seconds after i logged in to the desktop and that message appeared again. and i don't know what those lines in the screen are. I think is the video card

Author Update #3 @peanut9 2009-05-25

Thank you so much! Vony1x it really worked i got my system stable. it is running. though it only boots correctly when i type "-v -x cpus=1" but i need to fix that bug so it runs normal. I just need to do some fixing for example the ethernet driver doesn't work it doesn't connect to the internet. I still have the lines on the screen because of the video driver, and also i need to get my q6600 fully working because i just have 1.5Ghz of processor and it says unknown but the best part is that i got it running. If you can help me fixing this bugs and problems it would be greatly appreciated.Thank You

Author Update #4 @peanut9 2009-05-25

Here there are some screen shots

I still have the lines one the screen tough, also it panics when it boots normally, the only way to get it stable is by booting -v -x cpus=1. Also as you can see my nvidia card is not well recognized i download a driver for it a .bundle file. iopened it and a search trough contents then i selected the driver and executed in the terminal app. it didn't install. i don't know if i need to do something before that to get it working

Field Note #1 @erick2red 2009-05-23

Let me understand some things,
1. You get KP even with kernel panics?
2. What happens when you boot "-x" (aka Safe Boot)?
3. What drivers options did you select when installing iPC?

Field Note #2 @erick2red 2009-05-23

Ok, then "-x" booted up.
First, try to know which kernel are you using to boot:
1 . Boot "-x"
2. login an then open Terminal app
3. type "uname -a"
That the line with kernel name and others info.

Besides that, type at boot after "-x" debug=0x100, so when you the KP, shows up some info, about what cause the KP.

Have you already chck the forum for other users with running MacOSX with similar hardware?
They already know what to use to get that hardware working.

Field Note #3 @Voyn1x 2009-05-24

Try reinstalling without NVinject as you can always get your gfx card working properly later. You should always boot with -v (verbose mode) until you get your system fully working.

As it seems to be connected with your cpu, it may be worth booting with only one core for now to see if that helps matters.

At the boot prompt enter:

-v -x cpus=1

Hopefully this will get you into a stable system where you can start bug fixing.

Field Note #4 @Voyn1x 2009-05-25

This thread ↗ on insanelymac should offer you a solution for the cpus=1 to get all cores working - it seems there's issues with the nForce 570i, 590i, 610i, 630i, 650i, and 680i mobos. There's a pdf containing the correct bios options plus you may need to install an older AppleACPIPlatform.kext.

In regards to your graphics card, you should look into using an EFI gfx string, you can use a program called EFI studio (media fire.com/download.php?0igkzimqmwj) which has many premade strings for most cards.
