iATKOS 5i vs Kalyway 10.5.2

[Aeisae]

well , after various unsucessful installations of iATKOS 5i , ive decided to revert back to an older Leo release ,

kalyway 10.5.2 to see if just maybe it will boot ,

 

what do you know ..

 

Kalyway 10.5.2 works , sound works , ethernet works but says cable unplugged in network preferences , even my external USB are recognized .. my P4 isnt recognized ,

shows " 3GHZ unknown"

and but sometimes , the screen goes gray and asks me to hold down the power button ..

my question is simple ,

what are the differences between the two releases ?

id like to extend my knowledge of the two to ultimately get iATKOS 5i working instead .

 

Thank you in advance .

iATKOS 5i is designed for Intel Core processors. Your P4 shouldn't work if the release notes are correct. Check iatkos.wikidot.com

thank you very much ..

 

 

 

any guesses as to why my Processor might not be recognized ?

[nintenno]

the main difference is the version of the os (iatkos is 10.5.5)

but you could always update your kalyway install to 10.5.5 or 10.5.6

 

try installing a different smbios to get your processor recognized (just a cosmetic issue)

 

when the "the screen goes gray and asks me to hold down the power button"

that is a kernel panic

 

what are your specs?

[Aeisae]

thank you for your post nintenno

 

My specs are as follows ,

Pentium 4 @ 3.0GhZ 478 Socket .

i875P Intel Chipset

2GB DDR400

AGP 7600GS 512GDDR2

 

 

how would i go about updating my Kalyway to 10.5.5 or .6 ?

[nintenno]

since you have a pentium 4 it would be a pain

but try here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102

i think as long as your running a different kenel like voodoo you'll be fine

but dont update to 10.5.6 just yet

its not worth all of the time really

and 10.5.5 is what iatkos 5i is so it will still be fine
