Can't Boot

[waste_dwords]

I’m trying to set up Mac OSX v. 10.5.2 on the hardware listed below. So far I’ve tried iAtkos v7, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], and iPC following specific BIOS settings listed on tonymacx86’s blog. So far, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] has given me an ‘EBIOS read error’ while iAtkos and iPC give ‘Slist not found’ errors. I’ve tried swapping optical drives and stripping the system down to the bare minimum (1 stick of ram, 1 HDD and no graphics card.) Any ideas?

Ebios read error on [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] is due to the fact that you didn't let the CD sit for a little bit before you hit F5.

Update: I’m now getting past the EBIOS error. Now I get a kernel panic: ‘”Unable to find driver for this platform:\”ACPI\”./n”@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu1504.9.17/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389

Just download iatkos S3 v2 (10.6.3)

After running s3_v2 no errors are triggered but it continuously reboots.

what are the steps you did? maybe you missed a driver?

Thank you. I appreciate any advice you can give.

 

1. This is how I set up the bios settings

 

Advanced Frequency Settings:

 

Advanced Memory Settings:

 

 

Advanced Voltage Settings:

 

Misc Settings:

 

Standard CMOS Features:

 

Advanced Bios Features :

 

Integrated Peripherals:

 

Power Management Setup:

 

PC Health Settings:

 

 

2. Hit F10 to save and exit, then reboot.

 

3. Once I got the bootloader screen I did busratio=16 –v

 

 

4. Got into the install area and found the Hardware Info

 

 

5. Used Disk Utility to select and format HDD

 

 

6. After choosing the HDD I customized these settings

 

Bootloader:

 

Bootloader Options:

 

Patches+RTC+Modified Kernels:

 

Sata IDE Drivers:

 

Main Hardware:

 

Graphics Driver:

 

Network Drivers:

 

 

7. Finishes installing so I reboot with the Iatkos removed (got the same result when leaving it in as well)

 

8. I select Snow Leopard and use the startup options busratio=16 –x –v. Tried it with just –v as well

 

This results in a reboot loop. I can’t get farther than this point so far. The last screen that shows with an error before it reboots is this:
