and ALL THAT JAZZ

 

 

so

why is it that when i install the iAtkos 2.0i DVD with just:

-iAtkos Main System

-Darwin Bootloader

-Broadcom 440 network stuff

 

it installs successfully but on the reboot, after the bootloader has finished and it loads the apple screen,

the spinning gray wheel goes for a bit and then just freezes. everything goes quiet... not a peep from my hard drive or anything. i start up in verbose mode and there are no errors reported, it just stops loading.

 

it works in -x safe mode, and loads the login window, but all of the video and audio drivers are totally f*cked and none of the driver installers will work, the screen is stretched and resolution is out whack.

 

i CANT for the LIFE OF ME seem to patch any of the appleHDA kexts right, even though the patcher says it worked. Video drivers say they are installed with NVinstaller 33 and 34, but on the restart it doesnt work

 

I AM GUESSING IT IS BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO DO ALL OF THIS IN SAFE MODE

 

but god, i have no clue. i need HELP i am DESPERATE

 

most of this kext bullsh*t confuses me,

 

i really dont understand most of this. all i know is i need osx.

 

i have followed all sorts of thread instructions

even ones SPECIFICALLY for vostro 1500

to no avail!

 

 

maybe a helpful solution for the hang at the startup

if anyone could help me solve this

i would be FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT

i would OWE MY LIFE TO YOU

i would LOVE YOU FOREVER <3

 

PLEASE
