bluepigfx Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hey Everyone, I downloaded iAtkos 2.0 and burned it to a DVD, and when I boot the installer, it just hangs at the grey screen with the apple logo. My PC Specs are: C2Q Q6600 Intel DG33TL mobo 2GB OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 PC6400 160GB Maxtor IDE HDD Now it can't be the fact that the HDD is IDE as iAtkos booted for me before, but I never got to installing it fully.

shaybc Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 as soon as you insert the dvd and start the computer you see a message with the words "pree F8" in it, at that time press F8 Once, then write -v and press enter (it will get you into verbose mode, instead of the gray screen), then you can tell us what is the error message that caused this behavior, search words like: error exception or panic. also check this blog and especially this post it got suggestions.

bluepigfx Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 The last message to pop up which I assume is the error on boot is: Apple16X50UARTSync1: Detected 16550AF/C/CF FIFO=16 MaxBaud=115200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaybc Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 hi, sorry this is not an error, it is a UART detection (serial port) try finding the words: panic, error, exception, unexpected... when you do find it copy some lined before it and some lines after it. a better way is to picture your screen, upload it and link it here.

The.Watcher Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've experienced the same sort of issue. Where the DVD works fine sometimes but not everytime. When the DVD doesnt boot to the installer. And I check what's stopped by booting with -v this is the error I get unable to mount /dev/disk0s1 The most unusual thing is, it managed to mount it without issues twice before. As I got all the way through the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
