skinser Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I installed iATKOS_v7 on my intel box with D865GVHZ mainboard with the foillowing specs: Intel 82865G Onboard Graphics Controller Intel PRO/100 VE Onboard Network Connection Mainboard: Intel D865GVHZ Intel® 865GV Chipset, consisting of: • Intel® 82865GV Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) • Intel® 82801EB I/O Controller Hub (ICH5) • 4 Mbit Firmware Hub (FWH) Since install, and all went well, it boots to the grey screen and will not continue. I cannot use command line instructions as the GUI is already running. Please help, thank you.

It counts down before the Grey window from 5... Press any key during this 5 second period, and you should get a chance to type a command, and type -v which will boot in Verbose mode. althoguh i'm still a noob, just using advice i've been gaven in here Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/250297-grey-screen-after-iatkos-install/#findComment-1649237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmorr83 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Use -v to see errors and -x to boot in safe mode. This way you can then fix what's causin the error. Mine was a root disk error. But after selecting different chipset drivers it worked. There is a lot of trial and error involved.

klaus881 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If it does not work, try to get the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD from tonymac and boot from this one. Then get [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and install some kexts or try to fix those kexts you installed with your distribution. [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] is nice, because it boots on most pcs Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/250297-grey-screen-after-iatkos-install/#findComment-1650023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinser Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 The only option I get is the Chameleon on the screen first and that allows me to choose either Win XP or the MAC OS, nothing at all allows me the option to type in either -v or -x. I'll get the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] andMultiBeast discs and try them, unless someoen else knows of an option I can try. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/250297-grey-screen-after-iatkos-install/#findComment-1650877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinser Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and while I can boot and then change discs, I cannot resolve the issue of the grey screen. If I use -v I get only a blank/black screen, while I gfet to the grey screen if i use -x, but I never get past this point. I have downloaded [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] but do not see a way to use it without getting at least into safe mode.

kaderkan Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Change your configuration of hard drive in BIOS to AHCI. In the install of iATKOS don't forget to install AHCI SATA support.
