Stuck at apple logo

[cel9]

Hello everyone. I'm totally new to osx86 and mac's.

 

I just installed iATKOS v7 10.5.7 but I get stuck at apple logo screen. I tried using cpus=1, and -x but neither didn't help. When I use -v I get: Extension "com.apple.driver.iTunesPhoneDriver" has no explicit kernel dependency; using version 6.0.

 

I'm using 9.7.0 Voodoo kernel

 

Info about my laptop:

Processor: Intel® Pentium Dual Core Processor T3400 (2.16GHz / 667MHz / 1MB)

Main Chipset: Intel GM45 + ICH9M

Graphics: Intel GMA X4500 (Int. Graphic)

 

Can anyone please help me ?

 

And one more question, I noticed that many users use Kalaway version - is it better ?

 

Thank you.

EDIT: I got it working, by enabling ACHI mode

Have you left it running with the -v option for a little while, to see if any other messages such as "Still waiting for root device" show up? That line you reported isn't a fatal error...

Yes, "Still waiting for root device" does show up.

 

By the way if I dont use -v I get screen like this:

 

 

I tried rd=disk0 and rd=disk1 but it didn't help. "Still waiting for root device" - Means that it doesn't find my HDD right ?

[Lord_Jeremy]

Cool, yeah ACHI does need to be enabled in most cases.

 

@Travoky: I'm curious why you've got a PSYSTAR-related line on your system. Exactly what did you install? It sounds like you're using maybe RebelEFI? I don't know because I have never tried it myself.

[Travoky]

i got my computer to work but, on my new computer it doesnt! if you could, do you think you could tell me what options i should select when installing ideneb?

i've been trying to get this to work for months but no luck. It always seems to install fine but when i restart my computer it stays at this screen and this thing blinks in the top left hand corner forever

[Lord_Jeremy]

For future reference, you don't need to both PM me and post here. I'll get to the forum when I get a chance ;-)

 

Anyway, like I said in the PM, you definitely need the Voodoo kernel since you've got an AMD processor. I assume you mean you've just got a black screen with a cursor in the corner. Is there anything else at all on the screen? What other screens come up before that? For instance, do you ever see the bootloader or the BIOS screen?

[Lord_Jeremy]

I had tried voodoo with no luck. and its not a blinking cursor, its like its waiting for you to type something but you cant

Huh. Have you tried booting with the install DVD in the drive? If that works, then it's likely your bootloader is messed up. Also, what install disk did you use? Did you remember to even install a bootloader?

you no what i forgot to install a bootloader! i installed chamelon but it didnt work if i install easybcd before i install ideneb will the bootloader still work FYI im patitioning my drive into 2 parts if that makes a difference

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am also downloading iatkos v7 to see if that makes a difference

[Lord_Jeremy]

Heh, yeah not having a bootloader is a problem. EasyBCD is a Windows program so that shouldn't affect your OS X system. If you install it and take a look at your MBR you might be able to able to add an entry for OS X if Chameleon is installed.
