A description of the panic screen or a picture would be helpful.

I see. The KP is related to the ethernet kext. Do you dual boot OS X and Windows? What ethernet kext did you install and how did you install it?

Hi

Is there a way to remove the ethernet Ketext from the installer. to help remove the kernal panic i am getting

Cheers

Do a cold-boot, one where you didn't boot into Windows first, and try the boot-flags "-x -v" You shouldn't try to modify the installer as yet, more of a last resort in my opinion. Do you have ethernet set to "built-in?" Also, your wifi card may not work, but I am not entirely sure. If it indeed does not work, you'll need to order a replacement, if you still wish to proceed with a hackintosh at that point.

Hi

Ethernet built-in string should be "yes"
