my hackintosh specs :
MB = intel DG31PR
Current Processor = Intel C2D E7200
Memory = 4 GB
OS = Snow Leopard
Status = working great for almost a year, before i used Leopard.

Now i have Intel C2 Quad Q8300 and intending to upgrade my hackintosh mention above... when i tried it cant pass snow leopard booting process, it not shown 'kernel panic' but something repeating "BSD xx xxx xxx..."

and because i have another hdd, i tried installing fresh snow leopard on it the way i did before..(using DellSnow Boot v.5 and retail DVD) but i got kernel panic.

please help me.. and thanks

Hi,

same problem here. Snow works with C2D 8400 but doesn't boot with Q8300 (kernel panic uptime = 0).

found any solution ?

thanks

Those two C2D 8300 and 8400 CPU's are almost identical except multiplier.
After switching CPU, have you try to clear all caches, system/startup, permission?

i meant Core 2 Duo E8400 and Core 2 Quad Q8300.
BIOS says 1 processor for first one and 2 processors for the second

i solved my problem.

it was because of Limit CPUID enabled in BIOS.
Linux and Windows don't care but OSX does ...
I have now 4 cores instead of 2 processor at boot and OSX works fine.
