There's something wrong with the boot-132 image it seems. I was able to boot from the retail DVD (both disk and from flash drive) using the chameleon install from my old leopard install.

 

This needs more looking in to, but unfortunately I do not understand the working of boot-132 nearly well enough to explore it. Steal a friend's macbook, perhaps, to get your install going for now..

make a new hfs+ journaled partition of about 10gb or so. using disk utility, restore the DVD image to that partition. install chameleon RC1 to a newly formatted usb drive (hfs+ also) with the pkg installer. replace the boot file in the root of the usb with the pc_efi 10.1 boot file. and put your kext in extra/extensions. boot up with the usb as the boot device and select the partition you restored the dvd to, boot it, preferably in verbose so you can see if something happens.

Anyone else getting kernel panics randomly?

Mine seem to be related to the presence of other harddrives. I unplugged my external and my other internal, and all seems to work. Now the only kernel panic igot recently was when I installed little snitch and eyetv. Not sure which caused it, because I uninstalled both to be safe.

I only get kernel panic in 64bit mode after logging in, 32bit seems to be running fine so far.

The same applies for me. After install, the first boot with Welcome screen and setting a user works in 64bit mode (if it runs in that mode the first boot?). However, after doing the setup and rebooting, it hangs. I tried with/without repairing disks in both 32/64bits mode, no change. Booting in 32bit mode works.

 

I found this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...20&start=20 (Check post #32).

"Everything working in 32-bit mode. 64-bit Kernel Panics on boot at IntelPowerManagement.kext, and times out on ethernet if IntelPowerManagement is removed." Might be something to try? But it would perhaps break sleep?

 

Also I minor is that VoodooHDA does not output through SPDIF for me, only 2 channels. I will try to edit the DSDT and see if I can get it working that way.

 

Cheers,

Cool, sounds good. Keep us updated :)

I solved every KP doing exactly what the guide states, sans the part with permission fixing. so install everything and prepare all stuff, normally boot inside 64bit mode, dont do disk utility permission fixes but download the latest osx 86 tools software (google, its discontinued, but offers a gui for all the stuff you'd otherwise had to do on the terminal)

 

check the settings like that:

hit "Run selected tasks".

 

Done. No more KPs for me. Hope it helps. This procedure has to be done after every update, new program installation etc.. just to be sure the systems stays fresh ;)

 

Cheers.

 

 

UPDATE: I forgot to mention.. if i disable the onboard lan cards, no KP ever happens. Obviously the IONetworkingFamily.kext corrupts the system in 64 bit mode, and screws 32 bit mode over when you fix its permissions with disk utility. my guess is that its the cause of the problems.

Thanks dude, that worked a treat. Now running 64bit without kernel panic.

I have a asus maximus formula with a Q6600 CPU and an EVGA 8800GTS 640MB.

 

I followed the guide using a brand new Intel iMac to install OSX to a Harddrive and install Chameleon ktexts etc as described.

 

When I connect the drive to my my Asus board and try to boot with the -x32 -v option I get a kernel panic almost immediately. Any suggestions?

anyone know how to make it boot 32 bit mode by default? 64 bit breaks a few programs for me.

 

modify the boot.plist in the /Extra folder with the kernel flag -x32

 

 

I can confirm updating to 10.6.1 works like a charm. After installing the update i ran OSX86Tools and applied the 'Selected Tasks' as in my previous post.

 

Don Giovanni - I would try again, i had kp's the first few attempts i had at installing. Just make sure you follow the guide exactly as stated, you may need to re-apply the DSDT again (as i did) and dont fix permission with DiskUtility, use OSX86Tools.

how should one reapply DSDT again? It is just in the extra folder...and stays there. What do you mean?

 

I used the DSDTPatcherGui. I just copies a file to the root of your install partition.

Switched to Chameleon 2 RC3

switched to Netkas new fakesmc.kext (released Sept 12)

removed dsdt

added NullCPUPowerManagement.kext (was halting at the appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext)

removed VoodooHDA.kext for now (was halting after loading)

removed JMicronATA.kext and AppleIntelPIIXATA (jmicron was already disabled in bios anyways as I don't use it)

 

Looks like its is working until I get to the Do You already own a Mac screen and choose not to transfer...infinite beachball.

 

--Update: added the -x option at boot (so i did -x32 -v -x) and i was able to finish setup and get to the Snow Leopard desktop for the first time on my maximus. Now to try and generate DSDT from this machine and see if it works any better and take care of audio as well...hope it works...

Had that, I think booting onto 32 bit safe mode fixed that

Indeed you are right. It was your previous post in this thread that helped me fix that so Thank you ero!

 

glad it helped :(

 

How's your system's stability? I had kernel panics and ended up doing a few more installs before it worked stable enough.

 

also i noticed running 64 bit mode is kinda useless, it broke some software and hardware for me,w ith barely any speed gain.
