So I've installed iATKOS S3 v2 on my Asus G5VT-X5 laptop but after installing it doesn't boot the OS, but shows just the _ symbol blinking on a black screen, like nothing really starts. These are the specs:

 

Processor 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7450

Memory 4GB, 800MHz DDR2

Hard drive 320GB 7,200rpm

Chipset Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset

Graphics 512MB Nvidia GeForce 9800M GS

 

I made sure to setup the Nvidia graphics options and the cpu=1 thingy during the installation. Did I miss something?

Your boot loader did NOT get installed.

You can pop in the Iatkos dvd and install a boot loader under the "utilities" menu
