[HOW TO]Install iAtkos v7 on HP 6720s

[Mister Lola]

Hello, there. Because of many requests on how to install leopard on hp 6720s, i will post this guide.

Hope it helps!

 

I installed it on an external drive.

 

First. download iAtkos v7

 

insert cd and boot from it (no flags necessary)

 

when installation loads, Utilities->disk utility and reformat your external disk. If by some chance you can't see it, shut down computer (leave disc in usb port) and then fire it up again.

 

"Customize" selection:

(All mentioned below needs to be selected)

 

Bootloader:

Chameleon v2 (already selected)

 

X86 patches:

extra directory

DSDT

Decrypters ->AppleDecrypt

 

Kernel:

9.5.0 Voodoo

 

 

Disabler

 

Drivers:

VGA->GMAX3100->GMAX3100

 

System->SATA/IDE->Intel SATA/IDE

System->Intel Speedstep -> speedstep driver

System -> Cardbus driver

System -> USB

System -> Sound -> Voodoo HDA driver

System -> PS/2 mouse keyboard -> Voodoo PS2 with trackpad plugin

System -> Laptop battery

System -> NTFS (optional)

System -> Network -> Wired -> Intel -> Intel Gigabit (don't know if it works)

System -> Network -> Wireless -> broadcom 43xx

 

Then after 20 minutes, reboot and enjoy.

 

There is problem with standby. But it's enough to get you started.

 

Same procedure should work on partitioned drive, but first install windows, then mac (by my own experience).

Good post, you should submit it as a guide

 

Re ""Same procedure should work on partitioned drive, but first install windows, then mac.""

Not sure about this. Most threads I have been reading say partition GUID, install Mac fist, then Windows

[Mister Lola]

First, I have installed windows 7 (made partitions in installation). After that, i started iatkos v7 installation and with disk utility partitioned designated partition as mac OSx Journaled.

Chamelleon v2 supports master boot record, so you can use him as loader.

 

And yes, you can install Mac first and then windows. It will also work, my bad.
