iAtkos s3 v2 Stuck at Apple Logo

[SuperRainbowCats]

I just burned iAtkos s3 v2 to DVD, and when I boot it from the Chameleon screen, it gets stuck on the Apple logo, but with a circle crossed out on it. The spinning logo just continues to spin. I let it sit for an hour, then rebooted the computer. Now it's been stuck at the same screen for the past hour again:

 

 

Any suggestions?

You have to boot in verbose mode. At the Chameleon GUI type -v

[SuperRainbowCats]

Thanks! I'll let you know if it works when I get back home.

[buoo]

It'll not work but you can see the problem

[Huckleberry Pie]

Can you post a picture or log of what happened during verbose mode, i.e. where does it get stuck or as to what sort of error does it churn out?

[SuperRainbowCats]

 

That's what I get, and then after that it just says "Still waiting for root device" over and over again.

 

EDIT: I was going to try this guide, but do you think it'll fix the problem?

[Huckleberry Pie]

Did you burn the DVD at a slow speed? Oh, and what's your laptop specs?

[SuperRainbowCats]

I just used the built-in Windows image burner, I guess that took a while, but idk.

If you set SATA as: AHCI it should works.

 

p.s. Intel 3150 is not supported.

[SuperRainbowCats]

The computer apparently goes into AHCI automatically, at least, that's what HP Support said.

 

And should I get a different graphics card, then?

You should try to check out the BIOS settings just to make sure. And don't expect your laptop's display to be upgradeable, either.

Yep, but how can you do it?

..Good point, didn't think that one entirely through.

My BIOS is very limited. There's no option for it, that why I contacted HP Support.

[buoo]

I'd try to install it on another pc

[SuperRainbowCats]

Alright, in that case I'd dual-boot from my HP Pavilion dv7, which I'm using right now. All I'd have to do it create a partition and dual-boot using EasyBCD, am I right? It's a shame it doesn't support hardware virtualization, otherwise I'd use VMWare.

[Huckleberry Pie]

EasyBCD's boot-to-Mac option seems a bit wonky in my opinion, as it loads the bootloader from a disk image, meaning that changing things that involve the Chameleon loader wouldn't take effect. You can use that but you need to point your OS X option to a chain0 loader.

[SuperRainbowCats]

Hm.. Is there any other way to dual-boot, then? I'm creating the other partition as we speak.

[SuperRainbowCats]

Alright, the mods can lock this topic now. I am not Hackintoshing my laptop, as my dual-boot "solution" nearly caused me to buy a new computer (Gotta love HP Support!).

Hello I Have A Problem Similar to This except i Installed iATKOS Before but after Trying to reinstall it This Problem Shows up in Verbose (and when i do a normal boot it stays at the apple logo withot the spinner or the cross)
