kernel panic on install (type 13=general protection,registers: )

[stevenufc]

i am attempting to install el capitan but immediately have hit the buffers

have got this kernel panic



i did a search for this type of panic on here and found this

"Try removing GPUSensors.kext:

Code:
# in Terminal
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext/Contents/PlugIns/GPUSensors.kext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
In general, when bringing up a new system, it is best to start out without such "optional" software such as FakeSMC sensors..."

i have done this but to no avail

also at the bottom of the panic it says mac pro 5.1 but in my system information it says mac pro 3.1 i have never altered this at any time

i am running yosemite which installed with no problems as has every update since mavericks i am not a tinkerer so if it runs i leave it until an update comes along

any help greatly appreciated

It is the mac pro 5.1 system definition that is the issue here.

The mac pro 5.1 uses ECC RAM which is serviced by the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext, if you don't have ECC RAM you will get a kernel panic when you boot.

Boot in safe mode and change your system definition to something more appropriate or,

In Finder navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/ and move AppleTyMCEDriver.kext to the Trash.

Restart.

Then it must be on the installer that you are using.

The config.plist that you are using probably has a MacPro5,1 system definition.
Likewise the drive that you are booting from has the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext.

Now Yosemite isn't loading

ok

so to remove them do I get Yosemite running then reinstall Yosemite multibeast selecting Mac Pro 3.1?

then try running off the usb again

thank apple for iPads

If the MacPro5,1 system definition and AppleTyMCEDriver.kext are present on the USB then you will have the same problem when you boot from it until you correct one or both.

ok the obvious question how do i find out if they are (i have used finder to search for them and nothing)

and how do i remove them (if i can find them)

Look in the config.plist you're using (on system drive or USB, whichever) under SMBIOS / ProductName to see which system definition you're using. The easiest way to switch is with Clover Configurator (magic wand on the SMBIOS screen).
