iatkos not start after installation

[miguelx86]

I have already tested several versions with different combinations of iatkos (mbr and gpt) and the same thing after finishing the installation and restart the same thing, nothing just a dash blinking.

 

How do I to load the darwin bootloader?

[steenamaroo]

boot the iatkos dvd to installer, then open terminal

 

'sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0' (change '0' to whatever your system hard drive is,,check in disk util if unsure>

 

you may have an MBR related error at this stage,,,ignore it.

 

'p' <this will list the partitions>

 

your partition should be marked 'af' with a star i think? this means it's active.

 

if not,,,set it active by typing

'f 1' <assuming your system partition is 1>

 

'write' <this will commit the change>

 

'exit'

 

then shutdown and reboot to darwin.

 

 

IF your partition was already active,,,try reinstalling darwin bootloader from the same menu that terminal and disk util are in.

 

then make sure it's active again.

 

 

for simplicitys sake,,the commands to make hdd active are without quotes and <enter>s

 

"sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0" <enter> <0 is disk number>

"P" <enter>

"f 1<enter> <1 is system partition>

"write" <enter>

"exit" <enter>

 

 

 

 

ps, dont thank me,,,,i read this somewhere

 

definitely works for me though.

 

pps, if you're new to this,,,make sure the correct drive is selected in bios for booting.

 

also,,,if you are dual booting xp,,search for chain0 option as an alternative.. i had a cloned install that refused to boot except for under chain0
