Field Note #2 @x986123 2009-09-24

I think this is the wrong bootloader. Sure looks like it. You don't download the JAR, download the files, you got the sources. Also, you can try PCEFI v10.3 (rapid share.de/files/48382168/boot.html), which I use and works very well. www.netkas.org ↗

But also, try the Modbin kernel. You have a P4? I think you need the modbin for it.

Field Note #3 @scififan68 2009-09-24

oh that was mistake look at my edited links, delete it, download that kernel, and pcefiv9 causes that kp for me too. so use Chameleon 2 or yeah pcefi 10.3 works too.

Field Note #4 @scififan68 2009-09-24

I have it on my friends Dell with a Pentium 4 it works fine.

Field Note #5 @x986123 2009-09-25

Sorry, but I have no more, maybe I will think of some.

Field Note #6 @scififan68 2009-09-25

Hey what kexts do you have in your extra folder and try booting with cpus=1.

Field Note #7 @scififan68 2009-09-25

yeah there should be. like fakesmc.kext etc. thats why it's probably crashing.

Field Note #8 @x986123 2009-09-25

Yes, You need a folder in the root. Extra>Extensions> have these inside as a minimum:

FakeSMC.kext (rapid share.de/files/48328849/fakesmc_SL.kext.zip.html), OpenHaltRestart.kext (hgkpua.blu.livefi lestore.com/y1pQQmoN1sATHQ36CaZc1T2jIr2nLSKTki3ZL4Q6w7oXe9GW-gnARFdNyN8AmQlCBYfE6eG-AYYDZGPVkuTPF7VBQ/OpenHaltRestart.kext_for_snow_64.tar?download)
Field Note #10 @x986123 2009-09-26

For me, boot is faster without it, and so is shutdown, and no kernel panics!
