Skyy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 So today I successfully managed to install SL 10.6.3 with the help of iAtkos S3 v2. Everything works fine but one thing: I installed the default iAtkos AsereBLN bootloader onto my drive, however as soon as I choose to boot SL my PC reboots which means it tried to load a wrong Kernel for my AMD system. Now the funny thing: The iAtkos S3 itself also has a AsereBLN loader to load the setup but if I press F8 I can also choose that the DVD boots the SL from my HDD, that way I can successfully boot my installed SL. So obviously the DVD AsereBLN has another kernel set as default. My question now, how can I find out what the DVD AsereBLN loader does different from my HDD AsereBLN loader? I assume it just chains a MACH_ string but I don't know what exactly I should try and always booting with the DVD in drive is quite a pain. Thanks in advance!

mtest Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I went through the same problem. Just copy the file /mack_kernel from the DVD on your HDD. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I figured it was something that simple! Just where on the DVD do I find it? I opened the iAtkos DVD with Pacifist and found a mach_kernel file, not mack_kernel, all other kernel files are just the qoopz and other custom kernels.

mtest Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes, you are correct, it's mach_kernel and not mack_kernel, sorry for the typo ! It's located at the root level of the install DVD, and you should copy it at the root of your hard-drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyy Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks for the reply! Trying this atm, but there's already a hidden mach_kernel in my HDD root, shell I simply overwrite it? EDIT: To be safe I renamed the DVD kernel mach_kernel.2 and entered the following in my bootloader: mach_kernel.2 arch=i386 I see Apple logo for a split second and then my PC still reboots. What's wrong here? It's the only thing that keeps my Hackintosh from being perfect And thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enochpc Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Is there a newer version of that boot loader available? I had a similar issue between Chameleon rc3 and my kernel, once I updated to rc4 it went away. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but I figured it out!^^ For some reason all Kernels I copied from the DVD weren't seen as Unix Executable Files so I simply downloaded a Modbin Kernel from http://www.insanelymac.com/2009/09/install...-pc-hackintosh/ and boom it worked^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
