I installed OSX on my Acer Aspire 5050.
I boot and get a kernel panic.
When I boot with -v, I get the following message:

"Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependences):
com.apple.driver.AppleEFIRuntime(1.1.0)@ (hexadecimal number) -> (a different hexadecimal number)

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task

Mac OS version:
Not yet set"

The problem seems to be with EFI (which I did not install before installing the OS).

Here are some specs for my laptop:

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53 (2x256KB L2 cache, 1.7GHz);
1GB (512/512) DDR2 533 SDRAM;
120GB hard drive;
integrated Super-Multi drive (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RAM);
Integrated ATI Radeon™ Xpress 1100 graphics;

Author Update #2 @ike412 2008-03-14

I don't see the extensions folder. I am in /system/;ibrary and It goes from "DTDs" to "Filesystems". There is no "extensions" folder.

Author Update #3 @ike412 2008-03-14

there is only an "extensions.mkext" file.
I tried deleting that- reburning the ISO, and booting with -f (did not work).

Author Update #4 @ike412 2008-03-14

if I boot with -x and -v I also get a line, which is highlighted, that says the following:
"Failed to load extension com.orByte.deiver.PCGenUSBEHCI."

sorry for posting so many times in the thread, but I want to give the proper information to solve this problem.

Field Note #1 @roisoft 2008-03-14

open the iso with transmac in windows (show the hidden files) and navigate to /system/library/extensions and delete the kext, reburn the iso and boot with -f, good luck.

Field Note #2 @roisoft 2008-03-14

You have 10.5.2 rev1 not rev2. Download the rev2 or try to inject all the extensions folder in rev1. extensions (media fire.com/download.php?a1wmojflxto)

copy the folder into the /system/library and don´t forget delete the appleefi… boot with -f
