Hello jayparks41
There are a few things to try and the article below can walk you through them before trying to hunt down a Snow Leopard install disk. I will say that it may come down to reinstall Snow Leopard but also before any troubleshooting, make sure to have a safe copy of your data.

    I installed the 829mb Apple software update on my 2011 Macbook Pro. Upon restart, it crashed.  It instructed me to hold power button to shut off and then press again to restart.  Same error message keeps coming up and computer won't boot to home screen.

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    If you can't do that either, then you will probably need to reinstall 10.6.

  • After trying to install update on MacAir error message and then message saying panic (cpu caller 0xffffff800a859241): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".... I'm worried as all of my work is on my computer and I'm afraid I will lose it all.

    I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir.  Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."

    Hi Guys
    No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
    I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
    I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
    Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

  • TS3742 panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff802c859241): "Unable to find driver for this platform:........

    Hopefully someone can help. My Macbook Pro came up with this error when starting up and I can't get rid of it. Have tried starting up in safe mode using the Shift key however that doesnt do anything. I get the same message. I don't appear to have the original start up disk that comes with the laptop, although this was purchased new under 12 months ago.
    Is anyone able to provide any solutions for me? Please excuse me but my technical knowledge for Macs isn't too flash so detailed info would be hugely appreciated.

    Thanks apad. The entire report is:-

  • Panic cpu 0 unable to find driver for this platform pawermac6,1

    One day I started my mac and received a message "panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002e0ebc): unable to find driver for this platform: "powermac6,1" it goes on with kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version8.8.0: Fri Sep 8 17:18:57 PDT 2006; root: xnu-792.12.6.obj~1/release_ppc panic: we are hanging here..."
    I have search the site over and over and other threads that talked about powermac 6.3 but fixes. I did not do anything to my computer except 2 weeks prior I added a user and changed to have the computer ask who to log in. the computer worked fine and the other user never signed into the computer other then me using the other user name to test it to make sure it works.
    what do I do? I read others changing hard drives etc.

    The very same thing happened to me two days ago after I'd updated my "new" iMac 700 MHz from OS10.2 to 10.3. I also couldn't get the drive to open and let me retrieve the 10.3 CD. Using Disk Repair on the CD I repaired an Invalid Volume File Count and a Missing Thread Record, restarted and reinstalled 10.3, but then was right back to where I started, the kernel panic. Still couldn't get the CD out, so repaired the hard drive again (it now had the same errors as originally, reinstalled 10.3, same outcome, kernel panic. I tried to archive and install10.3, but it wasn't allowed, tried to erase the hard drive, but that wasn't allowed either. I then partitioned it with the same one volume partition scheme, reinstalled 10.3, repaired permissions (it didn't need any repair) and all is well. Or so it seems after a day of running.

  • I've recently been given an eMac, but when I try to boot it I get the following- panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform "Powermac 4,4"

    Recently I was given an eMac that had been sitting in a cupboard for a couple of years.; When I tried to power it up I was getting all kinds of noise at first. I checked all connections that I could, then checked that the memory was correctly inserted into the memory banks, they wernt, so re fitted them then all the weird noises went.
    Now when I try to start the Mac I get the first chime then the machine stops with the following error message . . .
    panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform "Powermac 4,4"
    I've been away from Mac for a few years now and would love to shove my PC back in the cupboard where it belongs, so if someone could help me get my eMac going I'd be real happy,.
    Thanks

    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire
        * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
        * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
        * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)

        * DVD drive for installation

    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

  • Leopard install fails with panic: "Unable to find driver for this platform"

    I have an early 2006 20" iMac with OSX 10.4.11 installed. Running perfectly with latest Firmware, permissions repaired, just perfect. I now want to upgrade to OSX 10.5, so I insert the Leopard Install DVD, reboot, and then to my horror a kernel panic, screen goes black with message panic(CPU 0 ...): "Unable to find driver for this platform", with the usual boxed message about holding the start button.
    Grateful for any help.

    I finally managed to install Leopard by using a 2nd iMac to read the install DVD, and using firewire and Target Mode as described in http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10327225-263.html?tag=mfiredir . This seems to imply that the kernel panic is due to some hardware fault with my iMac's optical drive.

  • I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a Power Mac 5 (non Intel) and get a message that "FF4 is incompatible on this platform."

    I have a G5 (late) running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded FF4 and tried to install in my Apps. folder. The FF app. icon shows a white do not enter type sign on it. and a message that says, FF4 is not compatible with this platform.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • Kernel Panic: Unable to find driver for this platform

    So, my 1 GM RM, 1.5 GHz Powerbook G4 (15 inches) has been behaving wonderfully lately. Until, this morning, it locked up -- as it sometimes does -- after inserting a 3rd party SATA card and waking it from sleep.
    This is normally not a problem. A reboot gets things back on track. Not today. The reboot stayed on the grey screen with the white apple logo. I tried booting off of a Disk Warrior CD and an OS X 10.4 install DVD. I go this kernel panic:
    Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook5,6".
    But...and here's the best part...if I boot into target disk mode and hook the computer up to another similar Powerbook we have, the similar PowerBook boots fine using my drive.
    So, it seems to be a hardware problem with my PowerBook. Any ideas on how I narrow it down?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Glad you found your problem. Our kernel panic on our 15" G4 is a bad logic board. $500+ to fix it. Just found out yesterday.

  • Power book not loading (error: unable to find driver for this platform) help me please

    power book not loading (error: unable to find driver for this platform) help

    That usually happens when trying to install Mac software intended for Intel-powered Macs (made in 2006 through present) on a PowerPC mac like teh powerbook (made before 2006).
    You post is a little cryptic, however. We may be of further help if you can tell us:
    <> the PowerBook's processor type (G3 or G4) and the Mac OS version, both available by doing "About the Mac" from your Apple menu.
    <> what program and its version your were trying to run and/or install.

  • I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    Did you try more than once? If so:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
