Kernel Panic during El Capitan loading screen

[cellininicholas]

I'm attempting a legacy boot on a Gigabyte Motherboard. I get a kernel panic while the OS is loading (the White Apple logo on a black background).

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. However I did have a temporary fix. Can you tell me what your graphics card is.

I have a Sapphire ATI 6870

If it was an NVidia graphics card I would suggest using nv_disable=1 as a boot flag. So try adding -x (safe mode) to the boot flags

No need for safe mode. This is very common with Sandy Bridge CPUs. See the kernel panic in AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement in the big list of solutions.
