Try booting iATKOS with "-v cpus=1 mach_970 maxmem=2048" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awca22 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 no kernel.... i will try booting iatkos that way i will answer asap... which kernel do i need to use with amd? why do i have to run it with half my mem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 no kernel.... i will try booting iatkos that way i will answer asap... You have a AMD CPU so cannot use the vanilla kernel........you have to use a patched i.e. Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 or 9.7.0........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 hi i tried both commands on my installed snow leopard partition that doesnt work... only have a black screenand in the iatkos dvd and it still says still waiting for root device.... AppleNForceATA: found 0 units Try Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD distro: 1. Boot from the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd Install DVD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS "Boot Menu", then selecting the DVDRW Drive and pressing Enter. 2. On DVD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the "boot:" prompt, type "–v" (without quotes) 3. Once the Kalyway OS X Installer has loaded, use Disk Utility to partition the HDD as Master Boot Record (MBR) into the number and size of volumes required, and format the intended OS X install volume as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) giving it a unique name without spaces. 4. If you have partitioned your HDD into more than one volume as suggested, select the first volume to install to, otherwise just select the internal or external HDD volume. 5. Press Continue and then Customize. Once in the "Customize" menu, select as follows: Additional Fonts (Choose to suit your requirements) Language Translations (Choose to suit your requirements) Kernels - kernel_9.2_sleep Y (Default choice) kernel_9.2_speedstep N kernel_922_kabyl N kernel_922_modin N kernel_92_nforce N kernel_vanilla_92 N Graphics _Drivers - None Audio_Drivers - None Networks_ Drivers - None Mobo_Chipsets - Default choices Thirds_Applications – Choose to suit your requirements (I suggest kextHelperB7, pacifist, perian, ppfomatic, stuffitExpander, textmate, vlc) SSE2_Jas1048_ACPI_APIC N (Default choice) Patches - Hardcoded_SMBIOS Default choice i.e. Lastnetkassmbios boot_with-cpus=1_flag N PCGenUSB_Fix N Francais_pc_keyboard_layout N TimeMachineFix Y PowerManagement_bundle N Intel Memory Controller N AMD_1052_Patches Default Y 6. Double check your "Customize" choices, then click "Install". When install begins you may choose to (or not) skip the DVD verify process. 7. When all processes are killed and DVD drive activity stops and the re-boot "beep" sounds, remove the DVD and boot from the Internal HDD......

awca22 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 ok i will now try to install using kalyway ... and what about the sound drivers and video drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 ok i will now try to install using kalyway ... and what about the sound drivers and video drivers? Since your integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE GPU is not supported by OS X for CI/QE do not choose a video driver and once you have the basic OS X system running, then you can see about sorting out your ALC 888S chipset for audio.........

I think kexts for them were not installed... btw.. i got a usb wireless mouse and a ps2 keyboard.. Since OS X does not natively support PS/2, using a mixed a USB wireless mouse and a PS/2 keyboard is the problem..........either use PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse with the ApplePS/2 or VoodooPS/2 kext, OR better still, a USB keyboard and USB mouse..........not a mix..........

These PS/2 kexts AppleACPIPS2Nub ApplePS2Controller are included as standard in the standard Hazard installation I believe.........so switch off your PC and plug in your ps2 keyboard and ps2 mouse and reboot with -v -f.........

verdant Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 i installed the usb keyboard and it worked.... but now after passing the first screen i got to migration assistant... and it stucks after selecting migrate later... 1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the "boot:" prompt and wait for the prompt ":/ root#" to appear, then type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ":/ root#" to re-appear. 2. Mount the file system by typing "mount -uw /" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 3. Change the root password by typing "passwd root" at the ":/ root#" prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested. 4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt 5. Boot the system by typing "exit" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 6. Reboot from HDD with "-v -f" and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter "root" as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.
