knibble Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ive just instaled iATKOS v2.0i and, well, it wont boot up, I just get a black screen... Any help? I have a Dell Inspiron 6400. Ive search the foums and found nothing that helps :/ System specs: not sure on a few of these as i have no way to check atm :/ Intel duo 2.4 Ghz 1 Gb ram Some sort of intel chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtzpower Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 If it is the black screen with a blinking cursor then you are missing a boot loader. I got the iAtkos v2.0i bootloader to install by booting to the DVD, pressing F8 and booting with -s. Then type darwin and follow the prompts. Just make sure you are selecting your OS X partition. Doing this incorrectly may result in your Windows partition (if you have one) not booting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knibble Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 That worked thanks , but i got another probelem now. I ger 'b0 error' when i boot up :/ just gonna try a reinstall and see if that works. Ill update in 20 mins crud... Reinstaled, did the bootloader install and i still get the black screen with the blinking cursor... EDIT: oops, my bad. I was puting the bootloader onto a 5mb patition i have (for somereson :/) so it gets past the anyoying screen and gets onto an even more annoying one :/ i get the OS choice screen, i choose my correct partition and it just resets any more help >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
