i think there are issues with nvidia cards.

 

most of the people having 7 series graphics cards are facing "still waiting for root device" error.

 

am i correct?

 

 

I have nvidia GeForce Go 7400 and no problems at all.

For nvidia graphics cards,you can try checking following things:

the device and vendor ids are set correctly,IOProbescore is zero in nVinject.kext(if you use one)

 

do you get a display at all ?

as for the boot problem it is because of your motherboard.did you try booting with SATA mode disabled ?

(( Edit: Never mind, I figured this out...I am editing this with my MacOS installation! Wahoo! ))

 

I hope someone can lend me a hand, I am not sure where to go next. I get through the installer fine, but when it goes to boot Darwin it loads all the kexts but then reboots. I am using GPT EFI V9 bootloader, tried both the EFI and Kabyl Enablers.

 

My system details are at the bottom of this post.

 

Here it goes:

1. POST, GPT Bootup is OK

2. F8 for boot prompt, enter "-v -f cpus=1 maxmem=2048"

3. I see all the kexts loading, the last kext is the TMSafetyNet.kext (for time machine)

4. Then it says Loading "DSDT.aml" (my patched DSDT overlay)

5. Then it says "Starting Darwin x86"

6. Then bammm! reboot

 

From my reading of osx startup sequencing this appears to be when the INIT routine is executed.

 

I've tried all the switch combinations:

-x -v -f cpus=1 maxmem=2048

 

I've been through the installer multiple times using various options.

 

Patching DSDT Attempts:

The cpus=1 is required to boot. Without it, computer instantly reboots before even loading the kexts. Apparently, CPU ALIASs present in the DSDT cause Darwin to fail, thus, cpus=1 bypasses this problem by ignoring the other cores. In the installer log I see that it, decompiles and patches my DSDT although it skips two CPU ALIASs. However, I used iasl/acpidump utilities in Ubuntu to take the DSDT file patched by the installer and repatch, i.e, decompile it again, remove the CPU ALIASs and recompile, then place back in the root filesystem. I also tried using the DSDT from my bios directly. In both cases, I still have to use cpus=1. I would be ok with cpus=1 for now, but I also wonder if my DSDT is still the source of my failure to boot the Darwin kernel as well.

 

Graphics Card:

The installer works fine, I expect this means that the most basic graphics should work with MacOSX too. I have a GeForce 9600GT. Could lack of a graphics driver cause Darwin to reset after loading kexts?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I finally have my MSI p7N Diamond Installation working!!!! Oh man I am relieved!!! I seem to have everything working...My GeForce 9600GT worked after adding my PCI device ID to info.plist in NVDANV50Ext.kext (included with the "Graphics Update" package.) and I had to add the EFI String to the boot config file.

 

My Creative Labs 5.1 SB Live! is working using kxAudioDriver.

 

My NVidia MCP55 Ethernet (from 590i chipset) is working with the nForceLAN.kext.

 

Not sure what is left not working right now and its time for bed...My System Profiler keeps crashing on startup...I will have to fix that later.

ok I really like this release but I keep having problems booting. I really want to do a multi boot with my 60gb hdd with the first partition vista64(35 gb[35840mb]), the second partition iATKOS 5i(15.9 GB[16269 mb]), and the thrid partition xp32(5 GB[5120mb]).

 

I have been trying to use easybcd as the bootloader but I can never get it to work, I can get it to properly dual boot xp and vista but If I install mac I can not boot into xp or vista

 

If anyone knows a thread or tutorial or can tell me how to properly dual boot all three operating systems I would have much appreciation. I do not care what bootloader I use as long as it works.

 

 

So since I have been unable to get that to work properly I thought I would try using my PNy 8 GB usb flash drive since my brios supports booting to usb devices. That was a complete failure because although it allowed me to format my drive to mac journaled as soon as the installer finished the disc consistency chek or if i skip it since i dont see the point of it it says it cannot continue because of an unknown failure.

 

 

so I have a 250 gb simple tech usb hdd and I made a 15.9 gb partition at the left of the drive and left my ntfs partition with all my data(music, schoolwork etc. on the right side) The installer works fine then when the computer restarts and it trys to boot from my usb hdd it restarts after about 2 seconds and if i boot to the DVD and press f8 it sees my partition with iatkos installed and when i press enter it just boots to the DVD and goes to the installer. I know it installed on my drive right though because if I dissamble my usb hdd(big deal i voided my 3 year warrenty) and plug it in my computer through my sata slot it boots. But I would highly prefer not to have to do this every single time I want to boot into mac, I mean if it was a desktop i would be fine but its my alienware m5550 and I do not want to get out my electric screw driver everytime I want to xwitch from windows to mac and vise-versa. So my problem is I can't boot to my iatkos installtion after I install it on a usb hdd.

I apologize for not having very good grammar but when I am very frustrated like this I tend not to use very good grammar or punctuation. The specifications of my computer is in my signature. I have been installing with the same settings every time. pc efi v9 bootloader

When the master meet the monster .......

 

hoo tank 'u my god for the iakto's release .....

 

and a big handshake to the guy bheind this release ......

 

i spend 3 days (24h to 24h and no sleeping) to install iaktos on my mobo equipped whit 2 gb of ddr 400 mhz intel p4 northwood 2,8ghz and a x1650 pro agp 512 megs shappire radeon on a biostar p800m4 with via chipset.....

 

this is my first attempt to inspect the world of mac , but my experience on the computer science trough ubuntu winzozxp vista and the Amiga workbench , the {censored} os now running on 80% of our potential.

 

i have only two issue ... (see the attached screen)

 

the first is the error concerning my processor signed as p4 at 64.51 ghz

 

and the second major issue is the update to 10.5.6 crash (install whitout boot efi) chamaleon boot and tho kernel

 

i also fixed the ical issue (run it in rosetta emulation) and work great

another thing is the ''Internazionale'' app work only one time on the first start but now crashes (i install italian.pkg) soo

 

i believe this is the right place to find my answer ....

I finaly installed iatkos i5 succesfully on my Thinkpad X60 but I have a stupid problem (same as in iatkos i2): when I select French as primary language, the finder shows some menus/options in french, others in English.

 

This is annoying. Is there any patch to be done so everything is in french ?

 

Thank you !

I installed earlier on my sony vgn-n385e notebook, here's my previous thread.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=108068

 

I updated to 10.5.6 using apple update, it worked flawlessly.

 

I am having an issue with my screen resolution, My notebook only supports 1280x800, but that option is not available, I am currently using 1280x768. I am using the gma950-b option. I have tried /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and adding

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1280x800x16"</string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

 

to it, but still nothing. Have any of you guys ran into anything like this?

Will iATKOS 5i be able to work on my Toshiba X205-SLi laptop? If it does, what settings do I put for customize because I tried every combination possible when installing it and all I get is always the apple loading screen with a circle with a slash on top of the apple logo. What have I done wrong? Is iATKOS 5i right for my laptop or do I need something special? please help me. Thank you very much.
