Issues with iATKOS_V7 10.5.7

[Paxi]

Hey guys,

 

I need a running and stable MAC OS for an upcoming college project. I already tried two days to get it up and also did a lot of research and googling but I still haven´t managed to get it running so far.

 

First of all here is my hardware:

Asus P6T

W3540 (core i7 940 as Xeon)

6GB Corsair Dominator 2000CL7

Radeon 5970

 

I disabled HT and A20M in Bios. VT is enabled. Storage configuration is IDE (can´t use AHCI for now because it would have to reinstall Windows too than and since i´m using VMware for iATKOS it shouldn´t be that important).

 

I´m running VMware Workstation 7.0.1 and using following settings:

Custom Install: OS->Other(FreeBSD 64bit), Number of Processor=1, Number of Cores=4, 1024MB MEM, LSI Logic, SCSI Drive

Thats more or less what I found on Google as recommendation.

After boot i press F8 and use -v cpus=1 busratio=21, boots fine and I´m able to install iAKTOS. Creating new partition with Disk Utility (Mac OS extended (journaled)) and set Master Boot Record. Customize Install afterwards. I already tried many different combinations of drivers so far. I read that Voodoo Kernel 9.0.7 adds core i7 support but everytime i used v9.0.7 it ended up in an endloss reboot afterwards, so i used 9.0.5, that got me a bit further. Belonging to the driver, i tried different combination as i stated before but it always ended up in the same problem. After installation is complete i get in the GUI Mode with the green cameleon. I enter -v cpus=1 busratio=21 again, system boots up. And this is what i got all the time after a while of waiting. System Doze :?

Sometimes I also got the error msg, that my CPU has been blocked by the guerst system or something like this.

I also tried modifieng my vmx file with:

monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"

monitor.virtual_mmu = "software"

paevm = "TRUE"

since i read it here on the forum, but it hasen´t helped me either

 

I really need some help on this. I guess i have to use Kernel 9.0.7 for i7 but like i said i only got endless reboots after installation with it, maybe there is something I´m just missing..

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards Paxi
