klompie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I am trying to install Mac OS on my dell inspiron 17R laptop using iAtkos L2. I have burned it tot a dvd and it boots up file. Formatted a partition to Mac OS Extended and installed using default options. After installation my laptop reboots and hangs at "NTFS volume name , version 3.1" Is this a know problem? What can i try to solve it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274278-iatkos-l2-on-dell-inspiron-17r/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoman_the1 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yeah, this is a known problem. Try installing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] from http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/09/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-40-lion-edition.html [You need to register there first, it's a rather short,quick process] also download rBoot from the same site, under downloads section. Burn it to a CD, and use it to boot into Mac OS X (recovery mode). Install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] now,run it and deselect all options, and only go for the system definition: Macbook Pro 8.1 . Apply the changes, and restart. Voila! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274278-iatkos-l2-on-dell-inspiron-17r/#findComment-1784085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
klompie Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Burn it to a CD, and use it to boot into Mac OS X (recovery mode). Tried this. I downloaded rBoot LE, burned it to a cd and booted my MacOS partition with it. But during boot the screen turns black. Should i pass some parameters when booting using this disk? Edit: Booted using -v -f and now it displays: From path: "uuid", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device ... 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274278-iatkos-l2-on-dell-inspiron-17r/#findComment-1784564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
