jeys0n Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 MY SPECS: NEO Empriva LAPTOP 572SBVx 1G RAM Intel Dual Core T2130 1.8Ghz Phoenix/SIS M702S Hitachi SATA 80G - External USB drive for Mac OS x Realtek ALC883 - Sound Realtek RTL8187 - Wireless Sis671, SIS Mirage 3 Graphics - Display STEPS I USED: Installed with iATKOS v4i Booted with -v reformatted HDD to MAC OS extended (journaled) Customized installation with: a. Darwin bootloader non-EFI b. Kernel 9.2.0 c. SATA support 3 days ago Ive successfully installed iATKOS v4i. I was generally happy with it even if my headphone output wasn't working and my display was stuck to 1028x768. Everything was a-ok. Unfortunately, I made an error while updating to MAC OS Delta 10.5.5. And now my installation will not even boot to Darwin. So, I reformatted my Hard Disk again and clean installed iATKOS v4i using the same settings I used. Installation took a while but it was a success. I rebooted, Darwin loaded it's countdown, 5,4,3,2,1... THEN I GET THIS: "Darwin/x86 boot v5.... 1029MB memory VESA v.3.0 128MB (SIS) Use [up,down] keys to select the startup volume hd(0,1) Leopard Press Enter to start up Darwin/x86 with no options, or you can: type -v and press enter to start up with diagnostic message type ? and press enter to learn about advanced startup options boot: _ " Nothing happens with whatever I type on the prompt. -v, -s, -x, nothing works. I repeated the installation again and again but I still get the same result. I also tried installing with different customization options and with default but with no luck as well. I don't know what went wrong and now I'm stuck with what next steps to make to solve the problem. SO far I've no luck yet finding anyone with a similar case. If anyone has had the same problem I hope you can help me and other OSX86 users with the same.

jeys0n Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Problem FIXED Here's what I did: Booted iATKOS v4i DVD in safe mode: Typed in '-x' on Darwin Formatted HDD (extended journaled) - I always do this just to be sure of MBR Installed with customization options: Darwin Bootloader Non-EFI Kernel 9.2.0 SATA Thats it. My system is running great as of the moment. I have to admit the hardware incompatibilities are back. My laptops internal speaker is ok but when i plug-in my headphones I get no audio. I have tried the ALC883 audio driver but it's still the same. And again my display is stuck with 1024x768. I tried a tutorial running boot scripts in darwin but I get a 1280x768 display, it's not working perfectly. I hope to find a solution soon.
