JJ_inspimac Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 hi im new here and to hackintosh world. i downloaded iatkos v4i then burned it using iso recorder v3. i booted from it. at first, everything was alright but after few seconds, i get this error: i restarted then the things i saw was darwin bootloader (or something like that), and the screen telling me to press enter if i want to install directly or -s for something so on and so forth. i removed the disk then booted at windows. after few hours, i tried it again. got the same error. i restarted. got the same screen as before. so i decided to remove the disk then boot to windows. but no windows booted! what could have happened? i installed the OS again. someone told me to do this: when i see "darwin bootloader" i should press F8 then type cpus=1. is this what should i do? im afraid it would happen again so i never attempted to do it again afterwards. i want to know first the cause before i try to use the cpus=1 method taught to me. thanks very much hackintoshers.
