I have a Sony VGN-NR220E and I'm trying to install iATKOS v5i but have been having problems.

Here are the specs:

 

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2330 1.6GHz

Front Side Bus: 533 MHz

L2 Cache: 1 MB

 

Memory: 2GB DDR2 PC2-4200 533MHz

 

Hard Drive: Seagate 160GB 5400RPM SATA

 

Optical Drive: Meets requirements, no problems booting off disc.

Graphics: Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

Graphics Memory: 251MB

Chipset: Mobile Intel GL960 Mobile Chipset

 

LET ME KNOW IF MORE SPECS ARE NEEDED, I WILL TRY TO FIND THEM.

Followed this guide: Hack Attack : Dual Boot Leopard and Windows Vista | dailyApps

SETUP:

1st: I used iATKOS v5i and burned it to a DVD-R using IMGBurn at 1x.

 

2nd: I booted off the DVD and hit F8 at DarwinX86 then -v

 

3rd: ran the DISK UTILITY to format the Partition to MAC OS X Journaled Extended.

 

Then Customized as follows:

Bootloader: PC_EFI

SMBIOS: EFI AIR (for laptops)

Kernels: ToH 9.2.0

ACPI: ACPI Stock

VGA: Intel X3100

SATA: Intel AHCI SATA

Laptop Battery: Yes

Network: Marvel Yukon 88E8001

 

The Problems:

The first time I installed I had slightly different settings but would get the Gray Apple screen on bootup and it would have the little flower loader thing moving then after about a minute and a half a little white box with a circle in it and a slash through the circle appeared over the apple, then it just did nothing.

The Second time etc. I would use the settings above and the it would boot to the apple screen then go to a light blue screen then go to a white artifact looking screen where two gray bars would start to appear on the right portion of the screen. Not graphically, but kinda like pixels filling in vertically. like it was artifacting.

 

This is why I need your help, Im really not sure what else to do, I just wanna get my Mac OS X working. I've put many hours into it this week and it feels like wasted time now since I can't get it working. Your help is very much appreciated, no matter how big or small, it will help me to get to a working setup.

 

Thanks all!
