SuperRainbowCats Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I just burned iAtkos s3 v2 to DVD, and when I boot it from the Chameleon screen, it gets stuck on the Apple logo, but with a circle crossed out on it. The spinning logo just continues to spin. I let it sit for an hour, then rebooted the computer. Now it's been stuck at the same screen for the past hour again: Any suggestions?

buoo Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You have to boot in verbose mode. At the Chameleon GUI type -v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Thanks! I'll let you know if it works when I get back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buoo Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It'll not work but you can see the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Can you post a picture or log of what happened during verbose mode, i.e. where does it get stuck or as to what sort of error does it churn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's what I get, and then after that it just says "Still waiting for root device" over and over again. EDIT: I was going to try this guide, but do you think it'll fix the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Did you burn the DVD at a slow speed? Oh, and what's your laptop specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buoo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If you set SATA as: AHCI it should works. p.s. Intel 3150 is not supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 The computer apparently goes into AHCI automatically, at least, that's what HP Support said. And should I get a different graphics card, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buoo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 And should I get a different graphics card, then? Yep, but how can you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yep, but how can you do it? ..Good point, didn't think that one entirely through. You should try to check out the BIOS settings just to make sure. And don't expect your laptop's display to be upgradeable, either. My BIOS is very limited. There's no option for it, that why I contacted HP Support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buoo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'd try to install it on another pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Alright, in that case I'd dual-boot from my HP Pavilion dv7, which I'm using right now. All I'd have to do it create a partition and dual-boot using EasyBCD, am I right? It's a shame it doesn't support hardware virtualization, otherwise I'd use VMWare.

Huckleberry Pie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 EasyBCD's boot-to-Mac option seems a bit wonky in my opinion, as it loads the bootloader from a disk image, meaning that changing things that involve the Chameleon loader wouldn't take effect. You can use that but you need to point your OS X option to a chain0 loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hm.. Is there any other way to dual-boot, then? I'm creating the other partition as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRainbowCats Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Alright, the mods can lock this topic now. I am not Hackintoshing my laptop, as my dual-boot "solution" nearly caused me to buy a new computer (Gotta love HP Support!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
