DELL LATITUDE E4300 - iATKOS S3 V2 panic

[catanaion]

Hi guys,

 

My DELL LATITUDE E4300 doesn’t want to go further with the installation of iATKOS S3 v2.

I get the following error message:

 

The funny part is, that I can install my orig. Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD with a little help from Empire-EFI. Problem is after finish installing I have to boot every time with the CD from EFI and when I try to install something like iHack or Chameleon, it won’t boot anymore.

 

I also read that someone from this forum succeeded installing iATKOS S3 v2 on a DELL LATITUDE E4300 (unfortunately I can’t make a post there )

 

-> My DELL LATITUDE E4300 configuration:

-> This is what I tried until now:

- [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + Retail-DVD -> panic error

- Hackintosh-India -> panic error

- insanelymac 10.6.6i -> panic error

- nawcom Mod CD + Retail-DVD -> panic error

- Empire EFI + orig. Mac OS X 10.6.3 -> success (I am not able to install any Chameleon or similar booting directly to HDD)

 

-> My BIOS Settings:

- disabled/enabling anything/everything that has to do with Double Core

- disabled/enabling anything/everything that has to do with virtualizing

- HDD: SATA / AHCI

( I tried so many conbinations )

 

-> Booting flags that I tryed out:

cpus=1

cpus=1 busratio=20

cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386

-v cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386

-x -v cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386

-x -v graphicsenabler=no PCIRootUID=1

-x maxmem=2048 cpus=1 graphicsmode=1024x768x32 arch=i386 busratio=xx ;xx = 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 ... 40

fsb=133, etc, etc

 

-> Question(s):

Should I try and remove the ElliottForceLegacyRTC / IOACPIFamily (or perhaps also further kext-Files that could block the installation) from the iATKOS S3 v2 Retail-DVD and then burn it / install it to a USB-Drive AND then try to do the installation again? Do you have any suggestions? Can you please help me with this?

Is there any hope, that I could get this running on my DELL LATITUDE E4300?

[dothacker]

you are using a laptop, no need to use ElliotforceLegacyRTC. Delete it and reboot.

First: thank you 'dothacker' for the confirmassion and information

 

( I had to work on a project over the weekend, but here are my results )

 

iATKOS S3 v2 (Mac OS X 10.6.3) is working on DELL LATITUDE E4300

 

 

My steps:

I deleted from the ‘iATKOS S3 v2’-ISO image the file ‘ElliotforceLegacyRTC’ with a liitle help from TransMac.

Then I burned the ISO to a new DVD.

(I DID NO SETTINGS IN BIOS, no EVEN THE HDD -> it is still on AHCI)

 

Then I inserted the DVD and the installation started (I did NOT entered any parameters | arguments (whatever u want to call them) and after 30sec-1min I was able to do the installation of the Mac OS X 10.6.3.

 

After 30min of waiting the installation finished and know I can boot into the Mac OS X 10.6.3 without problems (funny is that the OS X is working faster then Windows 7 – Graphic is working better, loading is faster, etc, etc, etc )

 

For those who have a DELL LATITUDE E4300 and want to install iATKOS S3 v2, I will make an extra thread from the very beginning with images, etc (even from the file that u have to delete from the iATKOS S3 v2 image). I will also show u how to install kext-Files (drivers that u need for your machines). I wil make the thread in english and german -> why? Because I know how much effort I put in it to install it, then searching for kext, etc

 

What is not working at all is the WiFi and why? Because I have a Intel 5300 N. I was trying to modify the drivers from the original Mac OS X 10.6.3 and I only got I recognizes as an ethernet but no Airport. Now I bought a Atheros PCI half size and I will report back.

The Touchpad has a few problems, but I think I can fix it
