I"m sorry if any of this sound noobish, because i am new to mac os x and I am trying to learn. Anyway, i am trying to install Snow Leopard on my computer: Hp Pavilion Dv2940se Geforce 7150m/630M I'm unsure what MOBO i have (If you need…

I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my HP Pavilion Dv2940se. It has been quiet an advanture so far, but I won't get into that. The sad part, is that i'm getting a Kernel Panic as soon as it says (in verbose) FireWire (OHCI): start -…

I have read numerous discussions saying that the Geforce 7150M card is unsupported in leopard. Does the same go for Snow Leopard? Or does Snow Leopard support cards like the 7150m? Direlime : EDIT:: Pardon the spelling error in the title!

“WooT WooT to new kernel! Edit: How long does it usually take to put together a amd kernel?”

“Hi again. Really sorry for triple posting. Could this restart error be caused by not having the proper hard drive kexts. I should probably throw in the i'm installing on an external hard drive because leopard wouldn't pick my my laptops int…”

“Ok I think i'm getting somewhere. I started over from scratch one more time. I realized I was putting the new boot file in the snow leopard partition *slap's forehead* , so i finished up the editing I had to do and rebooted. This time it di…”

“I am running: Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v1.0.12 Thats what it says at the top before I select a partition to boot from I don't think it's the kernel. Because i am running my leopard boot, from the same kernel. I got the patched k…”

“Ok, here's my next problem *sigh*, not like i didn't expect it So, i followed SaCleoCheater's tutorial, and everything succeeded successfully...or so I thought. I rebooted and I selected my Snow Leopard Partition in the darwin bootloader an…”

“Sorry for double posting. This is a real noobish question, but which folder is the Snow Leopard root. I'm a little confused”

“Don't run "Install Mac OS X.app" from mounted image. Mount your DMG, then press Command+Shift+G (WinKey+Shift+G). Then paste this into GoTo field: /Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/ Find OSInstall.mpkg and run it. Follow se…”

“I think maybe i downloaded the wrong dmg or i'm not looking in the right spot. I can't find the osinstall.mpkg all i have is 3 things to select in the mounted image: Install Mac OS X Optional Installs (folder) Instructions (folder) Do i hav…”

“I actually forgot to mention i am running leopard...the only thing is I got no internet on that install, but thats not a hugely big deal”

“Well i got passed that kernel panic with a little tweaking, but now it hangs at, ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin: then it says something about AppleIntelCpuPowerManagment. Can anyone help me with that?”

“Try a different distribution, Like ideneb, or iatkos. I'm not sure why, but I had the same problem on a different laptop.”

“So is it physically impossible to get CI/QE working? Or is it just unsuppported by the osx86 scene?”

“I apoligize for double posting, but i realize that it doesn't work on snow leopard either. At the moment, i don't have the money to buy a new computer, or a new graphics card. I really want to get this card to work under CI/QE, and I am wil…”

“By the looks of it, you guys are getting close. Good luck!”
