Working up a kernel panic

Ok here is what I have.

used the -v flag

Last thing to load before the painc... ACPIPlatrorm. tells me it has immediate dependencies on both apple.kernet and apple.kpi. ; use only one style.

I get the panic at caller 0x001A7BEB Then I get the reg dump.

backtrace.. tells me the loadable module is (unfortunately) AppleEFIRuntime(1.1.0

BSD Process name is kernel_task

My Stuff

AMD SEE2 4400+ processor
Gigabyte GA-M55Plus-S3g
Nvidia GeForce 6100
don't care about the audio or network yet.

the EFI runtime scares me in that this may not be an option for me. Looking up my MB in the hardware list, it is listed as unknown.

Cool, I have gotten past that one. So it looks like you need to the nuke the offending extension when you get a panic.

Now I am getting an ERROR firewire unable to determine security mode; defaulting to full-secure
then it sits in a:
Still waiting for root device.

more reading I guess…

Once again, thanks for the help, moved beyound that issue. I unfortunalty moved towards the IOATAController Device controler blocking bus issue. looks like I have a MCP 51 chip set. I will try medevil's latest driver, thanks for the link. BTW also thanks for helping out, I am truely greatful.

I will also look for other forceata kexts

Still having issues. Not sure this driver is going to work with my hware. I got an older IDE drive put, and going to try to get off the SATA. Interesting that the installer had 0 problems with this drive and controler. I also have a silghtlly older Hp/Compaq machine. the installer did not pick up the drive on that one. Might see if I can get the driver to work with that MB.

I am baffled by this one. It should work. I am an old Unix dude, so very familar with this stuff. I even used to use AUX for a while. This might just take a while. So far I have put in a couple of days.

Well that got te disk going, now I am in a loop about my keboard. I can not get past the transfer old files. going to try some boot flags and install the ps2 driver

Got it going. Not on the SATA though. even got it dual booting now> thnaks for hte help. A few more drivers to go yet.

Boot with - v and post the error "kernel panic" here.

boot with -s and type

mount -uw /

rm -rf /system/library/extensions/appleefiruntime.kext

reboot

boot with -v -f

Disable the firewire in bios and for "still..." you need to try with another applenforceata.kext nforce chipset, right? download macdrive for windows and go to /system/library/extensions and rename or delete the applenforceata.kext and try with another version.

go here ↗ and try.

edit: THIS ↗ is the last medevil´s driver (29-feb-2008)

Download this (media fire.com/?zmzsuszgd2d), it´s a ioatafamily patched with medevil´s kext. You can try it, don´t forget delete or rename your kext (ioatafamily and applenforceata) if you can try this one and repair de permissions

chmod -R 775 IOATAfamily.kext
chown -R root:wheel IOATAfamily.kext

I have the same motherboard with you, could you mind to share your bios setting with me?
When I use boot the computer with the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 it hang.

-v -x it shows:
EFI enhanced bootloader build: ToH
Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000fbdb0
Using ACPI RSDP revision 0 found at 0x000fa7c0
Hey we are going backwards! -> , restarting timing

THANKS~!

cant install leopard (Zephyroth Leopard rev. 1) on my config:

gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G with latest bios
amd AM2 4000+
2 G mem
160 + 160 sata hdd
ide dvd-rw
geforce 7900gt

immediately after reboot from dvd i receive kernel panic (Local APIC version not 0x14 as expected blah-blah-blah)

could anybody install leo at the same config?..
