Hmm, it looks as if Realtek stopped drivers for this NIC at Snow Leopard: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#7

 

Still, you can try the SL driver v2.0.6 (the package does install on ML) and see if it remains supported... Are you able to get the PCI Vendor id and Product id to verify the chip?

Are you sure it's an Intel 10/100Mb Ethernet port? The message above indicates Realtek... What does your KP message show?

 

However, if you guys have an Intel wireless card onboard, either disable it in the BIOS or take it out; they're not supported. Intel cards often lead to KP when booting the Mac OS installer.

HI 

 

I am trying to install mountain lion on my Dell N5010 but keep getting a kernal panic on the ethernet before evenbeing able to install OSX.

 

System specs are 

Dell N5010

I5

4gb ram

Samsung 1TB HD

Intel ethernet

 

any help would be great

 

thanks

Are you sure it kp or just hanging after displaying Ethernet? If the later, it means it's not able to load the display driver. If it has the Intel built-in display, it's probably the 1st generation gma display and getting QE/CI on it is hit and miss.

So, please list your full specs here. Perhaps it might have different video.
