panic(cpu 0 caller): "Unable to find driver for this platform:\"ACPI\"

My laptop specs (custom build of Clevo W650SH model): http://m1.bl.ee/files/CUSTOM_Clevo_W650SH.txt

Tried to install Snow Leopard 10.6 (retail) using this guide: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.gr/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html

With this iBoot version: http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=204



iBoot screenshot with normal install: http://m1.bl.ee/files/image2.jpg

iBoot screenshot with custom vars*: http://m1.bl.ee/files/image1.jpg

* -x -v -f acpi=off PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No



My worries

1. laptop has 16 gb ram installed
2. check the gpu hardware and tell me if there are combatibility issues cause its an nvidia on an intel bus (I think so).
3. I also have windows 8 already installed on hard disk but want to make dual boot
4. possible bios misconfiguration?
5. dvd drive drivers not combatible?

Thanks already if you are reading this!

There is no support for Haswell in Snow Leopard.

I'd recommend installing Mavericks instead.

So you recommend me to stick with the same iBoot version.

And burn a MAC OSX Mavericks 10.9 (Retail DVD)..

For 100% results?

No. Mavericks is available as download only. There is no "Retail DVD". And iBoot is not used with Mavericks. See guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibeast-install-os-x-mavericks-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

You should probably read here too: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/106791-laptop-compatibility.html

There is no such thing as a 100% compatible hack, especially with laptops...

I did exactly what you describe on your post to patch my mach_kernel (xpcm) worked for me. I started the installation and reached till the step it need to restart my computer. After that, all is happening when I choose to boot from the mac osx semi-completed install is an autorestart.

What do you think would be good to try now?
Try to patch the kernel the APIC way?

You have to copy patched kernel to your HDD after the OS X installer runs.

Note: It appears you're installing Mavericks, but posting in the Snow Leopard forum!?

You mean after install is complete and it restarts to start 1 more time from the usb and copy mach_kernel to the root directory of the disk which contains the half installation?

Also I was wondering if we can share some IM or skype time together cause I can really do well but need a good advice..

Note: This post started cause I was trying to install snow leopard and then you informed me that my cpu is not compatible so here I am folloing your advice but commented here as a reply to your advice.

told you I AM GOOD ! I DID IT!!!!! but no wifi yet... any suggestions?

Yes. This is covered in the thread linked in post #6.

WiFi: Depends on having compatible hardware. Use DPCIManager->PCI List to find out what you have. Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
