alibabzo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi. I'm wondering if anyone could help me? I'm trying to boot iAtkos S3 v2 on a Dell Inspiron 5150 with: Mobile Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz Intel 852 PM chipset Nvidia Geforce Go FX5200 32MB DDR RAM video card. My BIOS doesn't seem to have any ACPI option. My disk is formatted FAT32, the boot flag is set (with GPartEd). I boot with the flag -v... I get past Chameleon, and onto a black screen, but it hangs with 'Still waiting for root device'. I boot with -v -x... same. I boot with -v busratio=20 cpus=1... same. I also tried -x -v platform=X86PC, -f and platform=i386 to no avail. There's no Firewire setting in my BIOS. I tried jumping my IDE drive to make it a Primary Slave drive... no results there either. What am I doing wrong? Could someone shed a light? Sorry if a solution is already posted somewhere :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaneee Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 This is a picture of the kernel panic when I use the modbin kernel. Its a problem with the ElliottForceLegacy kext. Are you installing from disc or USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabzo Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Disc, but could use USB if required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Disc, but could use USB if required Restore the disc to a USB drive and remove ElliottForceLegacyLegacyRTC.kext from either /Extra or /System/Library/Extensions and try booting.

I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to stuff like this... :/ Do you have a running Mac / Hackint0sh? Or a vmware install of OS X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabzo Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I do, yes. I have a VMWare 10.7.4 install or a 10.8.2 install, whichever's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I do, yes. I have a VMWare 10.7.4 install or a 10.8.2 install, whichever's best. On either you will need to open up disk utility and restore your Install Disc to your USB Drive. Once its completed download chameleon from below and install it to your newly created USB Install drive. Now delete the file I mentioned earlier from the USB drive and try to boot with the mod cd again. This time you wont need to eject as the USB doesn't go in the disc drive :wink2: http://www.mediafire.com/?3sgj3tsw4gtbkg9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabzo Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Still stumped I'm afraid. Sorry. I managed to get iATKOS S3 v2 onto the USB via Disk Utility. I had to convert the iATKOS iso to a dmg to do so with a hdiutil convert /path/imagefile.iso -format UDRW -o /path/convertedimage.dmg I then installed Chameleon to the USB drive, however after a reboot the Chameleon files were no longer visible on the USB drive! Not really sure why.. Once I had installed again to the USB, I tried looking for the kext in Chameleon.Backups > 2012.12.02 > Extra > Extensions, but nothing by the name of ElliottForceLegacyLegacyRTC.kext.

Shaneee Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Look in System/Library/Extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabzo Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 No, no ElliottForceLegacyLegacyRTC.kext in System/Library/Extensions. Nothing even close to that name. Where else can I look? Should I just try booting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabzo Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I tried booting... and guess what? Install prompt! Wow! Thanks. However, it can't find my HDD. Is there any way I can fix this/do I need to jump my hard drive/is it a driver problem? Also, I can't find the legacy kernel on Nawcom's ModCD with 7zip or my VMware install. I have hidden files & folders on, but still nothing. What sort of file is it? Whereabouts would it be? Thanks again, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, Alistair Add this file to the S/L/E folder on your install USB and add -f to your boot flags, JMicron36xATA.kext.zip Here is the legacy kernel, legacy_kernel.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabzo Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 The same kernel panic occurs with the 'ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext'. I can't find this kext anywhere on the USB drive to delete it. I've looked in /Extras/Extensions and S/L/E. Also, I don't seem to be able to boot into the legacy kernel, even though I have -v -f /legacy_kernel as my boot flag. I also tried without the slash, but nothing.
