I've been trying to reinstall, but I keep getting this error message.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x563ec9): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.14.2/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1387

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: Unknown

Mac OS version:
Not yet set

Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.3: Sun Mar 6 13:3941P (A pop up blocks the rest of this line)

System uptime in nanoseconds: 527952830

The pop up says: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." and then in other languages it repeats itself.

Any help is appreciated. At this point I just want to reinstall or do a fresh install I figured that by formatting my hard drive I'd be able to do a fresh install but it's not looking like it.
 
i have the same problem in my acer 3820tg.
i accidentally cut the power while i was installing osx.
Then it shows the above message every time i run the cd.
Anyone can help?

Thanks!!!!!
 
If you go back into BIOS make sure that DVD is higher in boot order than the HDD.. Then put the iBoot disk into the drive and startup from there. If that gets you to the Chameleon screen, you can start over from there.

If not and you have another computer handy, you can try to erase the HDD there and reinstall it for another try.
 
You are using a gray disk, Restore I think. You should use a white retail DVD disk, like this one:

You can try adding the following to your com.apple.Boot.plist

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32</string>

That might force the graphics to the resolution you desire.
