thanks for your help
i tried all those options to no avail, but then tried with empire efi and after using an external hard drive, restored the my mbr friendly snow leopard to it and then to a hfs partition on my laptop. It worked! only things is i have no drivers installed so no sound, wifi or webcam anyone got any ideas ? |
I would install VoodooHDA.kext for the sound ( I am assuming it's a Realtek Card).
I would need more info on your machine to help you any futher. Info needed: Graphics card, LAN and WiFi card Model number and maker. |

Sounds like your trackpad and keyboard don't have the proper kexts loaded, I would try a prepatched distro like SnowOSXUniversal, or I would try using a USB keyboard and mouse for the install and then install the proper kext files for the trackpad and keyboard after installation, I have had that problem once before it appears to be frozen but its actually fine, you just don't have control over the mouse and keyboard.

toshiba a305d-s6848
i've been trying for ages to install osx on this machine....without any luck.
i'm stuck at this: ioapic: version 0x21 vectors 0:23, no matter what distro i try. i tried all the flags, cpu=1, cpu-2, etc, even tried the "plug usb stick when ioapic error happenes", nothing the one thing that got me further was io=0x21, but this gave another error after. i tried jas 10.4.8 distro, just because i still had the disc, and it worked! got past ioapic: version 0x21 vectors 0:23 just fine, and i was in the setup screen. which led me to the conclusion that it can be done, i just don't know how. this laptop has a crippled bios (thanks, toshiba). it came with vista preinstalled. since i can't install snow or leo, i installed win7, hated it (i used snow on my desktop and hate using anything else), so i installed ubuntu 10.4, which is not that bad, but still it's not osx... any ideas, people? thanks. |
Hi,
I was away from Osx86 project. I wonder if there is any chance of making Radeon HD3400 work? ;) Thank you. |
Unable to find drivers for this platform: /ACPI/
Hello:
I have been running into the above error accompanied by a kernel panic when trying to install. I have retail DVD's for 10.5.1 (Leo) and 10.6.3 (Snow Leo) and have tried the following methods: - iBoot (nVidia,ATI,Supported) using the 10.5.1 Retail DVD - Empire EFI using the 10.6.3 DVD - Boot-132 Generic using the 10.5.1 Retail DVD - Snow Leopard by Hazard ISO Somehow I was able to install Kalyway 10.5.2 by running in safe mode (-v -x boot options) and with a couple BIOS tweaks. But with the same BIOS settings and boot options the other methods fail. Most just reset the comp, but on a couple I was able to actually see the kernel panic logs nicely. I've searched through google and it seems to be a fairly common error, but I haven't been able to get past it with anything I've found. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I would try the Grub-DFE with a retail Leopard 10.5.6 ( or a Leopard DVD anyways) and try that.
I haven't been about OSx86.net in a while, I am sorry I haven't been here to answer questions, right now none of my machines are running OSX, I hear theirs something in the works for the people that have the same crippled Graphics card that I do ( The crappy GMAx4500 ), I had OSX on my EMachine but That graphics card isn't supported either, it does have a nice pci-e slot, but I dont have the funds to purchase a decent graphics card for it and my windows hard drive got messed up and I lost all my ISO files for OSx86. |
