[iAtkos S3] Loop reboot after installation

[StacksOvaflow]

Hi there,

 

so, i just installed iAtkos S3 on my PC

 

but i can't boot on it, when i boot with

 

-v cpus=1 busratio=20 maxmem=2048 arch=i386

 

the system reboots after a few seconds, here are the last lines i can read :

 

No SMBOIS replacement found.
Patched DMI Table.
No DSDT replacement found. Leaving ACPI data as is
Starting Darwin x86

 

 

then, what do?

 

Also, i have installed SL on my HDD from another computer, because on mine i get the error "still waiting for root device", and can't get rid of it. so i put my HDD in another computer and started installation.

 

Also², i can't boot my computer without iAtkos DVD in. When it's not in it, Chameleon boots, and it freeze after I press F8...

 

 

 

 

My specs :

 

AMD Phenom II x2 550

MotherBoard : Gigabyte 770TA

4Gb RAM DDR3

ATI radeon HD5770, the MSI hawk one

 

Hope you have answers, guys.

 

Thanks in advance.

try guide on my signture and kexts you need is here except eth

[StacksOvaflow]

thanks for that fast reply, but how exactly can i add the kexts? any guide? thanks

[J.B]

since you cant boot into OSX, use a livecd and put the kexts in the directory /system/library/extensions

 

then boot with the -f flag as well

 

when you eventually get to OSX, rebuild your mkext using the pfix utility (google it) and you wont need to use -f

 

also, on the system that got still waiting for root device, did you have the HDD plugged in at SATA0 on you MB

[StacksOvaflow]

i have added the kexts with MacDrive, and I didn't replaced those were there already.

boot with -f flag, the system loads more kexts (like 4 pages of kexts loaded, only one page loaded before)

but i get the same error message at the end.

 

EDIT : so, i have put my HDD in another computer and Snow leopard works perfectly, but not on mine... hope it helps.

hay

you must use the blue sata not white sata of gigabyte

connect dvd and hdd drives to blue sata

[StacksOvaflow]

my HDD is connected to the blue port, the SATA2_0.

how can i know my ide id in windows? it will be more faster to me, i'm on windows now.

 

and if we add to the kexts...it means that i have to re burn a DVD? because i have only two DVDs there
