WebBuilder Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Installed iATKOS s3 v2 but its not booting up from HDD I have tried IDE/SATA for AHCI mode, i have tried flags -f -x "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" cpus=1 busratio=20 , but it just doesnt boot up after installation i used busratio=20 -legacy cpus=1 to boot from the DVD in the first place... i can see the boot screen with the silver apple on it but the system is restarted instantaneously.... I have a Samsung 22" monitor and Nvidia GT240/core i3 540 on a H55M-D2H. I know this config is compatible because i have leopard (iATKOS 5i) installed on it already. Also, if it helps, my Nvidia 1GB card is detected as 14MB VESA (Nvidia) by chamaleon RC5.. Please suggest a good config for my hardware. -------------------------------update--------------------------- Now the HDD boots up but no matter whatever boot flags i enable, the screen flashes and system restarts when it says: Leaving ACPI 'something'.... Starting Darwin x86_64 Any help is much appreciated...thanks Gigabyte GA- H55M-D2H Intel core i3-540 Corsair 4GB 1600 Mhz Nvidia GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 WD Cavair Blue 500GB Coolermaster cabinet and power supply 460W Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270127-iatkos-not-booting-up-after-installationnvidia-gt240/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, got the sound working without a glitch by using the patched Voodoo kext from here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=355 Now my iATKOS S3 v2 is finally fully working with windows7 as the other OS. In case somebody with similar hardware is unable to install iATKOS S3 v2.....queries or comments are welcome.

In case you do not get full resolution, use an EFI tool to insert the graphics string for the graphics card 9800GT which also works for GT240! For sound get the voodoo kext from the link mentioned in my earlier post and install it. Everything should be working...
