Post all your hardware specs and the installation method that you use...

Manufacturer : Acer
Model: Aspire 5552
processor: AMD Athlon (TM) II p340 duel core processor 2.20 GHz
Ram: 4.00 GB
64 Bit Operating System

I used this method on boot of CD: I flaged- " cpus=1 busratio=11 arch=i386 -v that was the method that you gave me and it booted right up.
I went through the on-screen installation and everything went fine until it said it had to reboot, then upon rebooting it loaded to the grey apple screen and it sta6ed there for an hour.

Boot using the flag's below...

Code:

cpus=1 busratio=11 maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -v

If the system stop loading again, take a picture of the screen and place here...

Ok, I just did the flag and it booted up to the installation of Mac is x Leopard so I am having to install again, I am not useing any boot loaders for this, just booting straight from the DVD

Use this app to install the bootloader and add your boot flag's > Chameleon Wizard - Downloads - Kexts.com

One more thing, i just see that you post in the wrong session, if you still having troubles open a new thread here > 10.6 Snow Leopard

Ok, just a couple of things, after I installed Mac is x the first time, I partitiond my hard drive and it deleted everything...and. installed Mac it deleted windows so, I have two bootloaders that tell me the same thing when I try to boot from them the last line says " system uptime in nanoseconds: 3101454480

You need to use the flag's all the time till you made a new org.chameleon.Boot.plist with all your boot options...

If you are using the flag's and still getting the Kernel Panic, take a picture of the screen when the panic happens and place here...

Here are the pics I am getting when I trIMG_20110914_153554.jpgy to boot from both bootloaders

I belive that this panic is because of the bootloader, boot the system with the BootCD and reinstall using the app
that i send to you on this post > http://www.kexts.com/feedback/12006-...html#post82224

And please, if you still having troubles, open a new thread in the right session > 10.6 Snow Leopard
