Thread: Hackintosh Help! OS X 10.7.2-10.4.6 install on my Asus K52F. No boot!

Hey guys,
I've been trying pretty desperately the last couple of days to dual boot my Asus K52F with Win7 and OSX. So far I've failed with Lion and Snow Leopard, so I figured I'd skip a level down and attempt Tiger. I obtained an ISO version of 10.4.6, burned it to a dvd and using the most current version of iBoot, I Booted the new dvd (labeled Mac OSX x86 Install in iBoot). It attempts for a few seconds, but than loads the message "You must restart your computer... blahblahblah". Behind it, the error log reads:

Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x563ebd) unable to find driver for this platform:\"ACPI\".\n"@ /SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.2/iokit/kernel/ioplatformexpert.cpp:1387

Kernel Version:
Darwin Kernel 10.8.0

My computer's stats is asfollows:
Intel Pentium CPU P6100 @ 2.0 GHz
8 GB RAM
current OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard: ASUSTek K52F 1.0
Bridge: Havendale/Clarkdale. SouthBridge: Intel HM55
CPU socket: socket 989 rPGA

Am I missing something or is this a complete lost cause. Any help at all is appreciated.

Help!? Installing Tiger10.4.6 on Asus K52F. Boot Error

Buddy...

OS X Tiger don't support your Hardware...

You need to use at least Snow Leopard....

Follow this guide for installation > olarila.com • View topic - Snow Leopard on Asus Mobos/Notebooks
