REWARD offered - iAtkos 10.5.7 Installation Help

[insanerr]

Hi guys,

I am relatively new to the osx86 scene, have downloaded and attempted to install iAtkos v7 however I ran into some issues.

There is a reward for anyone that helps me and their help results in me being able to properly run osx on my computer.

The reward can be either:

a few dollars via an ecurrency site (alertpay, or moneybookers - from my own account)

share my rapidshare premium account.

 

Firstly, my aim is to:

Install OSX 10.5.7 with a dual boot with Vista SP2 (my vista is activated using another method )

 

What happened:

I selected the things I thought would be related (if someone can provide me with a screenshot of all the options I can say which ones I chose)

I installed to another partition (Formatted to the correct type - Extended Journalled)

I wasnt at the computer, when this happened, but previously the install bar had moved a few cms, then it was stuck and still moving, then it stopped moving but I believe my computer was still active as the red light on my case was still flashing

Then I saw the computer restart out of the corner of my eye, it came back to a screen like when the disk first loads, it was a grey screen with a NON shiny/3d apple logo, with no loading circle, and it got stuck on this.

I restarted the computer and booted into osx, then i saw a grey screen WITH a shiny/3d apple logo, again no loading circle i think.

 

Obviously I have fixed my vista boot and am currently running from that.

 

 

My Specs (do you need vendor and device ids?):

Custom computer

ASUS M2N-MX SE Motherboard

ECS Elitegroup NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT Graphics Card

AMD 64 X2 4000+ Cpu (x64, im running vista x86 though)

1GB DDR2 Ram

DVD RW Burner

Netgear WG311v3 Wireless Adapter

 

 

I am generally proficient with using computers, so you can certainly assume a good knowledge of windows. I can code some vb6, and am looking at learning xcode.

 

So please, try to help me out an earn a reward

Thank you to everyone who helps, and the osx86 community.

You must use the Voodoo Kernal since you have an AMD processor, you at least need to select a decrypter (dsmos) and intel cpu power management disabler aka Disabler.

 

Do you have AHCI on in your bios?

 

Do you have 1 hard drive? If so is it formatted as GUID or MBR? Which is different then MACOSX Journaled.

Plenty of similar mobo's.

I have 2 hard drives, a wd and a samsung (both 160gb satas). Vista and Mac are on the wd, the samsung is for my data.

Ahci - not sure

MBR I believe

I have now set OSX to the active partition, and am using chameleon 2 to load vista which works. (how can i set vista as the default boot option for chameleon?)

 

The error when I try to startup my install is

Could you show me what to select using the above image?

What you need to do is reinstall leopard but as Haterade said you need to pick a decrypter (you can pick one when you choose customize in the install. Also when customizing you have to pick the voodoo kernel or a kernel that states it works with amd in the description because only certain kernels do.

 

You may find that turning sata mode to ACHI instead of ide or raid or whaterever it is in bios may help fix problems you could have. It worked for me although i still had to reinstall but after that everything was fine.

 

When you reinstall just reformat the partition to extended journaled again and then when it gets to the last step you will find a button that says something similar to "customize install". Once you click that you can find all the different categories and you can change the kernel and decrypter.

Hi, check below link which shows which packages need to be installed. But this is for Intel based PCs. But you can select Kernel which says support for AMD processor.Try to disable your SATA support of your HDD from BIOS. Sometimes this crashes your Installation. I see the SATA support is not feasible. I tried disabling that option from BIOS and everything worked fine.Just to keep things clear. Try to reformat your MAC partition again once your are booted with welcome screen for first time using Disk Utility .Dont keep the volume label as Leopard or MAC or anything. Just leave it by default. Click Continue and select Drive where you want to install ( Drive your formatted in first step).

and click Continue and then click Customize and follow the packages show in below link with Kernel matched to your AMD( you need to read description when you click on Kernel from package list).Try to select "PS2 /Mouse/Keyboard" package as "Apple Ps2 package" sorts out panic errors.and select your Network Adapter from the Wired Networks likst ( untill unless you have compatable Wireless driver listed ). Thats it ! You almost there. Click Continue and Njoy cup of Coffee. Takes 15 to 20mins. Be patience ! Restart your pc when asked. ( Remove DVD from drive) .

Ok just had an attempt to reinstall.

The install seemed to go ok, it restarted, (bit strange, the bios screen flashed up then it restarted again), then it got to the press key to boot from cd (I didnt obviously), then it went to the apple screen with the loading circle, exactly the same as the one when you load the cd. I left it for like 30 mins, however it didnt work.

 

edit(before I posted this): I rebooted in -v to take some pics of the errors, there were lots of errors, but then it worked!!!! Thanks very much! If you need a rapidshare, I might be able to share one with you, but the guy who actually helped me get it working was Pere, the site admin from uphuck.ggrn.de

 

Now my questions are (you will definately get a rs/money if you can help me get the wireless working!)

 

how can I fix the errors I received during the boot:

 

do i need the ntfs driver to use my other partitions (im guessing yes )

 

how can i make it so that i can write on my ntfs drives? i installed the ntfs driver (I think, not sure) and I can only read, not write

 

is it possible to get my Netgear WG311v3 wireless adapter (uses marvell chipset) working?

I downloaded a Mac Driver from here --> and i installed that, however Im not sure how to set up the adapter. In network prefs, im completely confused, and in applications theres a netgear wlan wizard however when i run that it just flashes in the tray and exits.

Also, i tried changing the default boot os in chameleon 2, by adding

<key>Default Partition</key>

<string>hd(2,1)</string>

into boot.plist, it replaced the file ok however there was no change, leopard was still the default. I added that code into the end of the tabbed code, so it went with the other boot settings, and not directly at the end of the file, i think it was right. How can i fix that?

 

Thanks

Edit, just reinstalled.

NTFS read and write works fine.

 

New issues discovered (still present in previous install)

sleep doesnt work, it just instantly wakes up

when shutting down, there is a delay when everything seems off, except the hard drive is still on and the green light on my pc is on. this goes for about 15 seconds. not a major problem, but if there is an easy fix it would be nice.

 

Drivers i used

Main System
Chameleon v2
/Extra
DSDT
AppleDecrypt
SMBIOS Enabler
9.7.0 Kernel
Disabler
NVEnabler
nForce Sata/IDE
VoodooHDA
Voodoo PS/2
NTFS-3G
nForce Ethernet
Post-Install Actions

How can i Access the /Extra directory? Im sorry im guessing this is pretty basic, but im very new to mac. I want to access this to edit the boot.plist.

Can i set the ctrl key to work as the cmd key?

Why, when i ran an uninstall command and it asked me for the root password, did it say it was incorrect, even after i made sure that it was the right password? i was then able to uninstall the thing by repeatedly clicking ctrl-c (to dismiss). I enabled the root account and then tried it with 2 passwords, it always said it was incorrect.
