rlf Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 after installing i can boot up using the flags -x -v but it just freezes after a while. Where does it freeze? Do you get to the Desktop where you can open applications? Or does it freeze during the white text on black background? If so, what do the last few lines say, or better, post a picture.

bashiraad Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 After I install IAtkos the laptop starts and i see the apple logo for a split second and it restarts. If i boot to OSX using the flags -x -v i see the apple logo with a timmer going round....this then freezes after a few mins...i do sometimes see a progress bar in this screen which then goes half way and disaprears leaving the apple logo and time...which again freezes. I dont get to a desktop. I will try to post some pics shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You asked for recommendations on choices in Customize. Choose only those things you are certain you need. If you choose too many things, they may cause conflicts in the system. Leave everything as it is except the following: Bootloader - choose Chameleon v2 RC5 Drivers - uncheck everything - once you get the computer booted, the items you need can be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bashiraad Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 When I boot with -x -v or -f swithces (and different combinations), I get to the below screen and then nothing happens. Has any one installed on a vaio with similar spec? if so what custom options did you use? I have tried different boot loaders as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bashiraad Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 @iFire, thanks your suggestion worked. I got to the SL Setup screen and successfully loaded up. Now for the real novice in me....I have Win 7 alreay installed on my laptop. What is the best way to have both Win 7 and SL as dual boot. How would I do this?
