Hello all!
I'm having a touch of bother getting OSX 10.6.3 loaded to enable me to get updated to mountain lion.
I specifically bought parts listed on the site to make the build and install as simply as possible, but failed to realise that I needed a core 2 duo minimum to create a usb mountain lion drive. Following the installation guide I get a kernel panic each time I attempt to get to the install screen using 10.6.3, please help; please?!
Panic message reads;
unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/usr/local/src/xnu-1504.15.3/iokit/kernel/ioplatformexpert.cpp:1385
I have stripped the system down to GAZ77XUD5H, i7 3370K, 8gb ram, sandisk 240gb SSD, Blu ray player, monitor linked by on board graphics but still get the same message. I've tried a variety of options, PCIRootUID=1 etc but this still throws up the same panic.
I have access to another hack but its a P4, and my macbook pro is core duo so I am unable to create a mountain lion USB drive.
Any tips, advice, pointers would be greatly appreciated as I need OSX on this build, otherwise I spent a fortune for nothing and the wife may kill me in my sleep as a result!
thanks in advance for any help
