inimicus Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 In the first screenshot there... try entering -x This is "safe mode" that may help with some panics. Otherwise, you might wanna play around with different BIOS settings. I, too, have tried the disc you are using. It's fine, but I have had plenty more success with Leo4Allv3. YMMV.

Nevakonaza Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 right i downloaded iATKOS_2.0i and burned it to disk as the Kalyway didnt want to play even after -x it booted with the iATKOS_2.0i and i got the white apple loading screen but it just stays there with the loadng thing at the bottom,this never stops moving though. it just sits there at the white screen with the white thing rotating ive tried typing Cpu=1 same -x Still the same what can the problem be? im so frustrated BTW....i heard this white screen can take ages to load and its normal? how long are we talking? i waited about 5 mins.

inimicus Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Boot with -v and see what kind of error you're receiving. I believe the infinite rotation is usually more of a "still waiting for root device" error vs a full-out panic. If it is "still waiting for root device" your SATA controller is probably not recognized. You may need to change SATA mode in BIOS to IDE/LEGACY/AHCI or what have you (experiment) to get it to work. If that doesn't work... well... report back.

Nevakonaza Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 right i booted with -v in iATKOS_2.0i andi get all that text on the screen and it just sits there. ive read through the text and i dont see any panics or still waiting for root device text??? it just sits there You may need to change SATA mode in BIOS to IDE/LEGACY/AHCI cant find such options in my bios. ive tried enabling/disabling diffrent cpu functions just incase they was preventing it but still the same whatever i do Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125588-cant-get-it-to-installpanic-error/#findComment-890516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
