fiona Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi all, I have an Intel Pentium d 266ghz, 1024Mb ram, ASUS P5VDC-MX motherboard, Seagate 320GB hard disk. I have unplugged my primary IDE (samsung) cos it's got all my files on it and i didn't want this install to lose any of my stuff. I installed Jas 10.4.8, PC restarted, msg comes up No Primary IDE detected! Press f1 to resume (no problem here i think- it's cos i unplugged my samsung and use the seagate- whenever i do this i get this msg) then the PC loads Darwin, then I get a message saying: "You need to restart your computer.... etc". So i do it, time and time again, still I cannot get past this 'restart' prompt. <The message on the screen behind the 'restart' prompt is: panic(cpu 0 caller 0x003A8D2F): Unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI". Debugger called: <panic> Backtrace, Format - Frame: Return Address (4 potential args on stack) 0x141abdf8 : 0x128d1f (0x3c9728 0x141abe1c 0x131ed0 0x0) 0x141abe38 : 0x3a8d2f (0x3ed10c 0x293b7b0 0x141abe68 0x29d2740) 0x141abe58 : 0x38a61c (0x29d8800 0x291fc80 0x1 0x3be0f5) 0x141abeb8 : 0x38be9b (0x291fc80 0x29d8800 0x2916080 0x29d93a0) 0x141abf38 : 0x38b703 (0x291fc80 0x29160c0 0x8 0xffffffff) 0x141abf88 : 0x38ce48 (0x291fc80 0x0 0x134e3a 0x38cd6e) 0x141abfc8 : 0x19a96c (0x293b070 0x0 0x19d0b5 0x2939b70) Backtrace terminated- invalid frame pointer 0x0 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_1386 > Any info will be much appreciated !

frizbot Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 This is an ACPI problem. No one is replying for some reason, but if you search ACPI, you'll probably find some info. I'm afraid I don't know much about this problem. You can check compatibility with that CPU and motherboard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 It is a working board. Is Motherboard Bios up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 turns out motherboard was somehow completely screwed. i have since condemned the wretched machine to the pits of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
