iATKOS 10.5.5 fails, iPC 10.5.6 fails, Some help please

[Panarchy]

Hi

 

Can't seem to get iATKOS 10.5.5 to work, tried installing twice (the first without selecting a kernel, the 2nd selecting voodoo 9.5), to no avail.

 

I also can't seem to get iPC 10.5.6 to work, tried installing about three times (once without changing anything, the other times with various differences).

 

Here's what happens, [on both], I boot up (either normally or with -f) and I get a grayed out x near the apple logo.

 

When booting with -v, it says Waiting for root device. [said it about 3 times]

 

Here's a list of what I selected;

 

iAKTOS v5i Main System

| Bootloader: PC EFI v9

| x86 patches - Decrypters - AppleDecrypt

| SMBIOS drivers - SMBIOS Enablers - SMBIOS-EFI

| Disabler.kext

| Drivers - VGA - NVidia - EFI strings for NVidia - 8xxx - 8800 GTS 512MB

| System - SATA/IDE - Intel AHCI SATA

 

Please tell me what I can do to get either iPC 10.5.6 or iATKOS 10.5.5 to work on my computer.

 

Here are my specs;

Case

: Antec P182

Power Supply

: T.P.3 Trio Antec True Power 3 Trio PSU

Motherboard

: ASUS P5K-E WiFi

CPU

: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz

Hard-Drives

: Seagate 1TB SATA

DVD Drive

: SATA 20x

Monitor

: ASUS VW222U (22'' LCD)

Speakers

: Altec Lansing VS4121

Keyboard

Mouse

: Logitech (wired)

Graphic Card

: GIGABYTE NVidia 8800GTS 512MB

RAM

Thanks in advance for any help/advice,

 

Panarchy

 

PS: I have gotten hackint0sh to work on my computer in the past, using Kalyway. But seeing as they haven't released an update in a while...

 

EDIT: No longer getting the grayed out x, but now it's getting stuck continuously on this line;

 

Jan 23 06:05:24 localhost mDNSResponder mDNSResponder-176.2 (Aug 15 2008 14:58:54)[22]: starting

 

EDIT2: When booting with -f -v I get this;

 

ERROR: Firewire unable to determine security-mode: defaulting to full-secure

 

SUMMARY/IRC:

 

I am just wondering if anyone could help me out? I've installed iATKOS 10.5.5 with the following settings { iAKTOS v5i Main System| Bootloader: PC EFI v9| x86 patches - Decrypters - AppleDecrypt| SMBIOS drivers - SMBIOS Enablers - SMBIOS-EFI| Disabler.kext| Drivers - VGA - NVidia - EFI strings for NVidia - 8xxx - 8800 GTS 512MB| System - SATA/IDE - Intel AHCI SATA } and am wondering how I can boot up, as I've been getting stuck on this line after every reboot: Jan 23 06:05:24 localhost mDNSResponder mDNSResponder-176.2 (Aug 15 2008 14:58:54)[22]: starting | If anyone has any ideas on how I can get my hackint0sh to boot, please tell me. Thanks in advance

make sure your firewire is set of in your bios !

and try to boot with -x -c -v cpus=1 if you don't install the kernel for your quadcore or just -x -c -v when you do install it

[Panarchy]

^Thanks.

 

Which kernel should I use for my quad-core?

 

I'll try out the command you told me to use, on next reboot.

 

Thanks once again,

[de_autojohn]

voodoo kernel

[Panarchy]

Thanks.

 

I'll try booting with -x -c -v

and

-x -c -v cpus=1

 

If either one let's me boot, I'll be very thankful!

Hi

 

Well I attempted it, and here is an image of how things worked out (checkbox means it booted up);

 

 

All though, on none of the boots was I able to access the internet. And the screen resolution was wrong (wasn't able to fix it).

 

Please tell me what to do to make my comp work.

 

If I don't get a reply by the end of tonight (8 or so hours) I will try with iPC 10.5.6.

 

Thanks in advance,

Can you tell me how did you put a kext file during the instalation? I have same problem as Yours.. After boot CD I get some kelner Panic..It's ridicules..

[Panarchy]

Oh, we found out that it wasn't a kernel panic.

 

Sorry, but you'll have to start a new thread for your kernel panic.
