I have an older p55 system I am trying to install snow leopard on. However I am running into a few problems.

Hardware:
Motherboard DFI LANParty MI P55-T36
CPU i3 530
GPU HD5450

I have tried Iboot 3.30 and 2.5.2(2.5.2 is claimed to work for this mobo but perhaps issue with gpu or cpu)

I enabled ahci and acpi in bios and also set HPET to enabled in the bios.

When I boot iBoot it takes me to a screen showing the iBoot disc logo, but when I remove the disc and put in the Snow Leopard disc it never refreshes and shows the new disc label. IF I hit enter it shows a kernel panic "unable to find driver for this platform \"acpi\".

Thanks for any help/insight/recommendations

Did you press F5 after inserting the Snow Leopard disc?
 
Thanks for your quick response. I did try it with pushing F5. I think my disc may be scratched/unreadable. I am waiting to receive another one in the mail. In the mean time, is the error I am getting a normal error to receive without the OSX disc? From some other forums i saw it appears to be related to incorrect bios settings, but I am pretty sure I have them all correct.
