I installed Leopard fine after trying a few times. The bootloader comes up and everything and counts down. Except nothing happens. I only see a white screen with the apple logo for a second and a grey screen comes up that says i have to restart. I restart and the same thing happens. Am i missing a command or something?

i didn't think this was a kernel panic. it's a gray screen that appears on top of the white screen with the apple logo, its transparent, and it say 'please reboot your system, press the rest button or hold the power button for a few seconds. I have a AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor. it supports sse sse2 sse3
Geforce go 6100, nforce /430 mcp
i've been searching but i can't find what to do with kernel panics. ive tried both the old one and the new one and even both. should i try without the customizing the setup?
i get the same thing as sumzan
same here i've been searching as well but can't find anyone what to do with a kernel panic.ive tried just about every combination.
com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components:
use only one style.
this is the kernel panic i see. are there any kext that i have to delete for it to boot correctly.

I am also having this problem if someone knows whats causing it…
Kernel panic ... Search a little before to post.
What's your cpu ? Does it support SSE2 ? SSE3? Both ?
you need search a little more ..."please reboot your system…" = kernel panic
sure have been searching, just new to this and didn't know this equated to kernel panic...
amd turion64 x2 in an hp dv9205us laptop
so I guess that I should try this? off the dvd?
boot with -s
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
exit
It depends on the message you get when you boot with the -v flag.
k, not to try and be a bother but what am I looking for?
I see
"com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components:
use only one style.
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001A7BED): Kernel trap at 0x20d2d43c, type 14=page fault, registers:
"com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components:
use only one style.
It stops booting at
Mac OS version:
Not yet set
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 9.0.0.0
System model name: HP Pavilion dv9000
I am getting a kernel panic as well. When I boot with -v the last two lines I get are
Feb 19 04:53:10 localhost mDNSResponder [21]: Couldn't read user-specified local hostname; using default bMacintosh-001A73C67355.
localb instead
Feb 19 04:53:43 localhost kextd[10]: IOKitWaitQuiet timed out waiting to write kernel symbols
I have tried both GUID and MBR installs and I get the same error. My system specs are as follows:
HP tx1320us Tablet
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 (2.00 GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150
System Chipset: NVIDIA nForce Go430
Wireless NIC: Broadcom 802.11 A/B/G/N
HDD: SATA 250GB
RAM: 2GB DDR2-PC5300
Audio: Sound Blaster Pro
I read a few places I should try disableing my network cards, but being an HP the BIOS lets me change the boot order and check the time. Pretty useless. If this is the case. Is there a work arround? Any help would be much appreciated.
iget panic with "com.apple.driver.iTunes.phone" ?
@ dannysaucedo
I cant find what to do either. I have been searching the forums for three days. My situation seems to be pretty unique though. Where most people freeze for 30 seconds with a "IOKitWaitQuiet" error than resume booting; I get a kernel pannic. This is so frustrating.
Same problem here.
I have exactly the same screen as dannysaucedo's before I install leopard.
I have Althon64 X2 4200 and NForece4 SLI, with a 80G IDE HD for leopard. Two other SATA HDs but only for windows.
