Successful boot iAtkos S3 V2 AMD need help :)

[CYNiCALStudios]

Hi there, just thought i'd share some good news (for some). I finally managed to install iAtkos S3 V2 Distro on my AMD PC. With 1 problem. the CPUS=1 busratio=20 boot parameter is needed to boot into GUI. Without it, I get the painful bootloop.

 

My rig:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 at 3.0Ghz

GPU: 9800GTX+

3GB DDR2 RAM

500GB SATA HDD + 1TB for Dual Boot (Win 7)

 

The motherboard is considerable old, but very cheap considering it supports 3 way SLi but no DDR3 DIMM Slots

 

My steps:1. Changed Bios setting to SATA instead of IDE (gets rid of 'still waiting for root device')

2. Booted into iAtkos S3 V2

a. Utilities --> Disk Utility - Formatted 500GB (using disk 0 partition 2)

b. Customization as follows - Bootloader: AsereBLN v1.1.9

Options: 32-bit boot and Graphics Enabler

Kernel: Qoopz 10.3.0

Drivers: AHCI SATA, Voodoo HDA, NVEnabler and nForce LAN.

 

Boot with verbose = BOOTLOOP

boot with -f -x = BOOTLOOP

boot with cpus=1 busratio=20 = SUCCESS!!

 

So, after all that, I want to be able to boot without these parameters. If anybody could assist me, I'd be greatful. Also I do own a Snow Leopard Retail disk but after install, it won't reboot itself. it says ' you can now restart your Computer' and when I do, I get a BIOS Lockup and I have to reset CMOS with Jumpers.. Not what I want to do everytime. I followed the retail guide for AMD on here.

 

I would love for the help and also, is there an IRC I can use? Thanks a lot in advance.

Anyone at all? I just need a fix for cpus=1 busratio=20 I can put it into the boot.plist but if I'm wrong I will only be using 1 of 4 cores? Which just defeats the object. Because it's slow. Thanks.
