I have tried installing everything I can find! I have a athlon x2 QL-60, a 780G chipset, sb700 southbridge. One problem is my bios will not let me change acpi (insyde 1.20). What version should I be using? And is there any hints or tricks…

Has anyone seen this? I am trying to install any version I can get and when I boot from dvd I immediately get "memory allocation error (0x0 0x8000)". How can I fix this? It is a sata dvd rom in an amd 64 x2 system. sb600. No ide…

“it does try to boot in the install. Just panics out”

“sorry guys,I have been busy. I get the error as soon as it starts to boot the ideneb dvd. I will try disabling wake on lan. My bios is the newest update, I looked for different versions but since this laptop is 3 months old they do not give…”

“Yes I did the 2 different dvds with mkexts. I cannot turn off parralel ports. My bios is stripped. I also can't change ports for ahci unless I can do it outside of the bios. Can I? Here are some pics.”

“Darn! I get the same "unable to find driver for this platform: \acpi\" I'll take a picture tonight when I get home. That was with ideneb lastest release and the nexusmac mkext. I tried with ahci and in comapatability mode. Thats all the opt…”

“ideneb 10.5.4 failed. Panic cpu "unable to find driver for this platform: \acpi\. Oh well, will try another.;)”

“ha! They tricked me and labeled my downloaded iso a fake name. It is only v1 .10.5.4. I will get the correct 10.5.5. I WILL make this work! Edit. I'm such a noob. I did have "show hidden files" checked in transmac. I will now replace the mk…”

“i will have to download a new ideneb iso. the one I have is v1.3 10.5.5. It does not have and mkext files or extension folders.”

“Thanks for the kexts Nexusmac! I will get to adding them. What I meant earlier by blank screen is that there was no writing on it at all, nothing. Just blank. I can't open my laptop to look at the motherboard since my brother took my tools …”

“I didn't pirate it. I am trying kalyway 105.2 amd-intel first since I had that iso available also. I did -f-v on boot and now am at a blank screen, I will give it a few minutes and then I will try the leo4all mkext transfer.”

“I am using version 7.5. what are you using? It doesn't have that setting to choose anywhere:'(”

“my version doesnt have that option, see pic. or am I doing something wrong?”

“i deleted the mkext file, now when I put the new on in using transmac it tells me there is not enough space. What should I do?”

“Ok, I will try and use the sb700 kexts. I did try it once with a kaly disk and I got an acpi panic. I will also try the ctl-f1. I have never tried that before.”

“Hi nexusmac! According to CPUZ my mainboard is an ATICorp Model Ant3. chipset AMD 780G, with southbridge SB700. I will start downloading the ideneb dvd. I am not quite sure how to write the commands for the kexts but I sure will try! Thanks…”

“nope, still can't get anything to work. I'm trying it on my home pc now but I can't get the dvd rom to start up. I get a memory allocation error. It's like everything is against me!”

“man I hope so! I did check for the bios update, and I have the latest. Darn insyde. They strip it down so you can barely do anything”

“I have done some searching there. I suppose I can look some more. I just tried nicholas's way again and I get a a cpu panic with "local APIC error" very frustrating”

“I can enable ahci. I did try to do a restore to a usb drive from a working mac with leoforall and kalyway. Then I installed chameleon, then plugged it into my laptop to try and install. No luck, unless I am doing something wrong there.”

“any suggestions please? I really want this to work”

“Thanks! I appreciate the help”

“yes, but i get the acpi panic”

“My board is an ATI corp model Ant3”
