guvnor Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just downloaded and tried to install iATKOS, but had problems The Chameleon came up at the top of the screen. It starts to boot up and i get the apple logo splash screen, but the progress indicator just keeps spinng around. I left the pc doing this overnight and when i woke up the pc had shut down and nothing was installed. Any ideas?

motheninja Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just downloaded and tried to install iATKOS, but had problems The Chameleon came up at the top of the screen. It starts to boot up and i get the apple logo splash screen, but the progress indicator just keeps spinng around. I left the pc doing this overnight and when i woke up the pc had shut down and nothing was installed. Any ideas? I had same problem. I had to press F8 in Chameleon. Then i typed in -v-x-f-s cpus=1 busratio=XX the busratio depends on your processor. google it to find out your number. there are no spaces between the v,x,f,s. hope it helps!

dothacker Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 boot with -v and post a screenshot / photo of of the screen. did you try searching before posting? oh, and dont forget your specs coz hey... it's in the rules: " If you have a question please do your best to use the search feature and search the forum before creating a new topic." and " Give your hardware specs when necessary (asking for support) and any other time where it may be beneficial to have them listed."

guvnor Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 This might help some of you, i just found my problem. I re-burnt iATKOS onto another DVD-RW and it works perfectly I was using TDK media (epic fail) but when i burnt to a Sony disk all was good Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245480-iatkos-s3-v2-installation-problems/#findComment-1630873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 i burnt iatkos in a TDK, Memorex, Sony, Verbatim and a Fry's generic dvd-r, dvd+r and dvd+r dl. the trick is burning it AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE. if you can choose 1x, then by God, choose 1x speed.

Thanks dothacker I am now faced with a new problem. iATKOS boots up and does it's thing - but when it gets to the install stage my hard drive is not visable!! I have tried using a SATA drive and an IDE drive but still the same problem (Although the drive is seen in bios). After searching the forums I have read that sometimes internal drives aren't recognized but external ones are. Can i install to an external drive and then put the ext drive inside my machine?
