Slackulator Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hello everyone, I am trying to install iatkos s3 v2 on my amd machine. So I made a partition in windows 7 then went and installed iatkos. It installs fine but when I try to boot it stucks on apple logo(loading circle doesn't even appear). Maybe I used the wrong Customize options on installation? Can anyone tell me the correct ones for my build? CPU AMD 965 Phenom II X4 MB MSI 790FX GD70 4GB DDR3 NVIDIA GTX 570 If anyone could help it would be great, I am trying to install it the whole day! I also noticed this, error when running -v: DSDT table not found DSDT.aml, or something like that. Help please?

Slackulator Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Can anyone please help me out on how to patch the DSDT? I do have iasl.exe in order to extract my mobo DSDT or whatever, but I am not sure how to patch it? As I said before the installation goes flawlessly but when I try to boot on the installed Mac OS X it hangs on apple logo. Also if I do -v it gives me a banch of text and then I get a black screen. I also have a Snow Leopard retail .dmg, I restored it on the Mac os installation but it didn't solve the boot problem. HELP!

It should load just fine if it doesn't try to boot with -v and try to fix the problem. If it still doesn't work, try some diffrent bootloaders and commands like busratio=20.

I put the iAtkos DVD so I can get into Disk Utility. Using terminal I mounted the .DMG Snow Leopard retail, then used Restore to restore it on my Mac OS partition. Now if I try to boot, I get the loading spin on the apple log but then it restarts my PC. I don't understand this part though: Boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] then remove the disk/usb and then add retail DVD. If I remove the disk while in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and then insert a retail dvd, what do I do next? select the first option?(the one with the disc). Also as I said I don't have retail snow leopard dvd but .DMG file on an external drive. Can I use this method to do it? Thanks!

Revived Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Try to burn the DMG to a disk useing disk utility in the Atkos S3 V2 Installation. Then you boot from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy disk and switch the disk with the Snow Leopard retail disk and press F5 then just boot from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy disk.

Revived Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Same kernel panic as me when I don't use busratio=20 in some bootloaders, make sure you use the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy and not the regular [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. If [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy doesn't work try useing the Nawcom ModCD. http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=446 If that doesn't work try useing Empire Efi or some other bootloader. Note that you always need to try the legacy to because you are useing a AMD processor wich is not supported by Mac OS X.

Slackulator Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Finally progress, I am able to boot on the installer using legacy efi for amd. But now I cant install it on the hard drive mac partition because of this error You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume, it needs to be formatted as GUID. Thing is I can not select the partition options to format it as GUID, also the Mac OS partition was made in windows because disk utility didn't allow me to create on on my main windows disk. Then I formatted it as Journal but now I can't install Mac OS because of the error I mentioned, help?

Revived Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can't easily install W7 and Mac on the same Hard Drive so try to instal it to a External Hard drive first.

Slackulator Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can't easily install W7 and Mac on the same Hard Drive so try to instal it to a External Hard drive first. Ok, so If I do that , I can then transfer it on my Windows 7 hard drive/partition? I am asking so if not I can buy a new internal hard drive for Mac OSX only. Also, can you tell me why my Bootmgr is missing when I try to boot Windows? It happened after installing bootloader from iAtkos, but then erasing the partition it was on. I can now boot on windows only using the EFI/Iatkos/whatever disc and choosing System Reserved...

Revived Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can buy a internal hard drive for you're Mac if you want to. Did you try to instal Mac on the same disk as you're WIndows is on? Because if you did you need to start from the W7 install disk and click on Repair then it should be fixed.

Slackulator Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah the first time, I did install it on the same hard drive but different partition. I have an external drive right now, I will try to install Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail on it, but then can I transfer the installation using restore in disk utility and send it to the same hard drive as my Windows 7? so I don't need to buy another hard drive... In general, what is the method to dual boot these without Formatting windows hard drive? because my hard drive is Master Boot Record, so I can't install mac on a partition, it asks for GUID formattion.

Revived Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Just google for a guide how to make a W7 and Mac dual boot. But it's better to instal Mac to the External Hard Drive first. If you got it al working correctly you can instal Mac to a Internal Hard drive. When you do this its better to instal it on another Internal Hard Drive and not on the same Hard Drive as W7 is on.

Slackulator Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Ok so the installation failed on around 5% left, but I was able to boot. Any comments on that? Now there are a few issues: 1) Resolution is 1024x768, I suppose there are no drivers that's why, which drivers do I need for GTX 570 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3? 2) It only reads 1GB of ram instead of 4GB that I have 3) There is no internet connection, what drivers do I need for Asus network card/adapter? 4) What kexts do I need in general to increase performance or compatibility? Thanks a lot! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/264246-what-am-i-doing-wrong-iatkos-s3-v2-amd/#findComment-1728833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revived Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If you get the screen Instalation Failed at the end of the instalation don't pay attention to it its suppose to happen. My resolution is still 1024x768 too I'm trying to fix it on my Hackintosh aswell. Just google your graphics card and try to find a kext for it if you can't find one try to google you're chipset. If you don't know what you're chipset is download CPU-Z. About you're RAM, try to google this aswell. Start -> Control Panel -> View Network Status and Tasks -> Change Adapter Settings -> Right-click "Properties to see you're network adapter try to find a kext for this. When you got al the kexts you need use kexthelper from tonymacx86 to instal them.
