For months, I've been using Kalyway 10.5.2 but this morning I gave a luck to this new release. Because iATKOS 1.0i r2 was the most stable release with my board.

 

My conf:

 

Asus P5B (BIOS rev.1803)

Core2Duo E4300 @ 2.7 GHz

Asus EN8800GT 512 MB (Dual DVI)

4 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM

Seagate 250 GB 16 MB Cache SATA2 NCQ HDD

Asus SATA DVD-RW & LG IDE DVD-RW

M-Audio Fasttrack USB Sound card

 

Installation:

- I had to configure SATA as AHCI in BIOS. Other way (set to IDE), installation fails. (No need in Kalyway)

- Choose 9.4 kernel, SATA patch, NVinject 512 MB

and thats all.

 

After installation:

- I switched back from AHCI to IDE mode in BIOS.

 

And everything works great except CI/QE support so I used NVInstaller v.51 and voila: I have CI/QE support now.

 

LAN works out of the box.

 

Because of my sound card is class compliant, I have no idea about onboard sound.

 

Good luck to all.

I suggest you use SATA DVD-RW for booting this and don't use onboard video either.

I got Kalyway 10.5.2 to install with a SATA dvd drive, I think the ide drive is your problem.

I was using the same MOBO as you. Although I kept getting stuck after installation, I would never reach the configuration screen (the screen would grey over and say "please restart your computer") so I bought a new MOBO but had the same problem. I am not sure what to do now, although I am downloading this new v4 as we speak and hopefully it will run better for me.

No luck so far.

 

I tried iATKos v4i on my Gigabyte P35-DS3G with 8600GT 512 on Quad cpu.

 

Install went fine, but on reboot there was no video.

So I tried single user shell and didn't have all the previously downloaded patches .. i am not sure they would have helped anyways .. because this one is supposed not to need EFI .. and mine were efiapplication.

 

Anyways .. I am going to try again.

 

Another oddity -- I have two SATA Drives, Drive0 used to be WDC and Drive 1 Seagate.

Bios settings and Wiring are still the same, but the kernel seem them reversed .. it had happened to me once with Ubuntu .. but I had IDE and SATA on that machine .. here both are SATA .

 

If anyone has a suggestion on video issue .. please drop a line ..

thanks
