cmccmccmc Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi, i'm new and need some help. 1.I have the iATKO v7 iso and I was wondering where you add extra kexts to on it? 2. How long should it take to boot up the disc I waited a half hour and it still haden't gotten past the screen with the apple and the spinning circle thing. 3. Where in the installation do I select which kernel to use and can i select more than one? Thanks for the help!

punk_zappa Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 1. worry about that after a successful installation. 2. it should take 2-5 minutes for it to go away. At startup press F8 and do -v to see what is going on. 3. once you have partitioned your HDD you will have the option to "Customize".

vilpostus Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 What is written in the KP message? I mean the last 2-3 lines? Use -v boot flag to see that.
