nallen00 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've looked high and low for a solution to this issue and come up with zilch: I am attempting to install iATKOS 1.0 on my Alienware m9750, but all I get after launching the install (just after pressing ENTER during the countdown) is the gray Apple screen, and then a message that reads "You Need to Restart Your Computer" - and I get it with both iATKOS releases. What the heck...!? Any input would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance! Looking forward...

The.Watcher Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have you checked your MD5 as it looks like you're getting the error people experienced with the corrupted image.

SticMAC™ Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 "I am attempting to install iATKOS 1.0 on my Alienware m9750....." If you are installing it you should be pressing F8 and NOT ENTER! during the countdown! Then at the prompt you can use -v to check the startup in verbose mode!

nallen00 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks guys... The.Watcher: I did find something about the MD5 problem here, but I'm new at that, so still working on it... SticMAN: You're very right, and I'm probably lucky to have gotten any attention here without providing something meaningful for you guys to work with. I'll get a screenshot up A.S.A.P. Thanks again!

gtzpower Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 What was your solution? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108167-iatkos-installation-snafu/#findComment-773034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nallen00 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 @gtzpower For whatever reason, iATKOS wouldn't load - even tried downloading the images from a different source with fresh burns, and nothing. Instead of ripping my hair out, I tried KALYWAY, and BAM, OSX Leopard 10.5.1! I should be more specific about WHAT exactly is working, so I've updated my signature with short descripts. It's still a W.I.P., and since I can't seem to find anyone else with a Hackintoshed Alienware® m9750, I'll be covering all the dirty details in my blog. Good times! Looking forward...

nallen00 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Guys, I apologize for not responding to your questions/concerns. It's been a while since my last visit, and I've since sold the Alienware in favor of a Gateway FX4710 desktop, which should prove much less resistant to change. @Mysticus: trust me, it booted no problems - both cards recognized (READ HERE). The process of making it happen was a total PITA, but it did work. There are a couple snaps of the laptop in My Flickr Album, but no Leo screens Sorry... Needless to say, this chapter is closed. Look to my blog in the future as I help the new FX achieve oneness with the Maciverse Best Wishes for the New Year, - Nate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108167-iatkos-installation-snafu/#findComment-1019019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
