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.
