Gringo Vermelho Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 try the command arch=i386 , if this doesn't work boot with -x -x32 (safe boot) No, -x is safe boot. arch=i386 and -x32 does the same thing (forces 32-bit kernel and drivers mode) but on two different boot loaders. Use arch=i386 if you're using Chameleon Use -x32 if you have Netkas' PC_EFI installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypeber Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 I just installed ideneb lite edition since iATKos v7 is not working. I tried both of those commands and didnt work. I also installed Windos 7 before trying to install the OS X. I also got Dual boot working, however it got stuck when i tried to load OS X. it gave me a "stop" sign and the spinning circle. How do i fix that? By the way, i installed the os x with Nvkush and Vodoo. Should i try not to install those 2 items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
