SSD in new Mac Mini urgent help needed!


hi, in post telling story installing ssd (corsair force sata iii) in new mac mini. went except after cloning os lion new ssd kernel panic @ boot.

thought cloning went wrong re-installed os x lion apple servers (14 hours download), greeted morning same kernel panic "unable find driver platform: \"acpi\"

totally stuck without clue on how proceed. new mac. can't keep downloading , trying again because takes long. appreciated!!

(i upgraded ram 16gb @ same time of ssd upgrade, ram related error?)
 

first rule of change management: change 1 thing @ time , make sure okay after each change. way won't have try figure out change introduced might causing problem.

make sure ram seated , try boot again. if not work out ram upgrade easier of 2 changes undo. see if helps.

if still have same problem can try boot safe mode , run disk utility check file permissions, etc. see following safe mode:
