stargazer418 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hello, I'm a newbie to OSx86, and I've been trying to install iATKOS v7 on my PC. Here are my specs: AMD Phenom x4 9600 Biostar TA780G M2+ 2x2 GB Corsair XMS2 800MHz XFX GeForce 9500 GT 1GB WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA I have Windows 7 Pro installed on one partition, and I made a second partition of 30 GB to install Leopard on. I'm able to run the iATKOS DVD perfectly, customize it, and install, until it asks me to reboot. When I press Reboot, it goes to a grey screen with a spinning pinwheel thing, and gives a kernel panic. Here's an image of the panic: I don't know if you can read what it says (ipod touch camera ), so I've attached a full-size image. When I manually reboot without the install DVD, I get the Chameleon screen like I should, and it shows the gray apple screen. After that, the screen just goes black and the HDD and DVD drives both stop blinking. I'm trying to use Voodoo kernel 9.7.0, OHR, VoodooHDA, AHCI, AMD and Via SATA drivers, and I've tried both the EFI string for my graphics card and NVinject. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptSlash Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 It is highly unrecommended to have both operation systems installed on the HDD, your problem is likely caused by it. Try reinstalling by formatting into only 1 GUID Partition using the install DVD. Also why don't you try downloading a latter distro? Afaik iAtkos v7 is pretty old, the newest one (or at least the one I'm using) is iAtkos S3 v2 which installs Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (no problem updating to 10.6.4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer418 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I've already downloaded S3 v2, so all I need now is to burn the DVD. For when I get a new hard drive, does SATA or IDE work better for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
