weeeitsval Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am new here and attempting to build my first hackintosh by following these instructions: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=144020 I installed iAtkos, and it worked until it got to the part where it needed to reboot. In the directions posted above it says to skip the reboot, but I do not see how to do this. So I end up rebooting and then it just gets stuck on the screen with the apple logo and the spinning gear thing. I have reinstalled 4 times now, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Help would be fantastic, thanks. Hardware: Asus P5Q-E Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo Processer Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper 512MB (is there anything else you need to know) Thanks so much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/169700-1st-hackintosh-hanging-on-reboot-after-install-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be getting "still waiting for root device" errors most likely. Find the appropriate drivers for your mobo and try again. It took me 5 times to install the first time, only to turn around and install again.

LaKnaboDeEsperanto Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You're not the only one with this problem. Apparently, iAtktos made, by an error, visible by the Installer Log near the end of the installation. This error consists in making all files and folders in the disc invisible. So, when you boot, it appears a Apple screen, and then a strange green with dark stripes. I'm searching for a way to correct this.
