Can't boot iATKOS without "Safe Boot" -x flag

[eng.3aref]

Hi

I have a desktop computer and I installed iAtkos L2 on it, it boots only in safe boot mode(with the -x flag), but without it I get a kernel panic as the

following screenshot shows:

I am new to this, can anyone help?

Boot using -v so we can see where the problem is.

here is a screenshot at where it stops:

is there an output file that I should post? if so, where can I find it?

[Shaneee]

Boot using -x and remove the VoodooHDA.kext from S/L/E and repair the permissions. Reboot using -v and see if it works.

[eng.3aref]

How to repair permissions? (excuse me but this is new to me)

[Shaneee]

Download Kext Wizard. On the maintenance tab select System/Library/Extensions box and click Execute.

[eng.3aref]

It worked! , now Mac OS X 10.7.4 boots on my pc normally without any flag, next is my graphics and audio, how do I fix their issues?

[Shaneee]

What is the make and model of you Graphics card?

[eng.3aref]

I think it's "Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller", I don't have Windows installed on my computer so this is the name I could get using a program called Unkown Devices running on Mini XP on Hiren's Boot CD, but I can install windows 7 in order to know the exact name if that name doesn't help.

[Shaneee]

Whats the make and model of your PC/Laptop then? Can find out from that.

It's a desktop with a Gigabyte motherboard called "Gigabyte GA G31M-ES2L (rev. 1.x)" that has an integrated Intel Graphics card and here is a screenshot of GPU-z running on windows 7:

do I need to provide any other information?

Not to sure about the Graphics. Not to familiar with that card. Here is the Kext you need for the Sound to work,

 

Kexts.zip

 

Upload your org.chameleon.Boot.plist from the /Extra folder. I will add a few parts to get your system running a bit better.

[eng.3aref]

I installed the Kext file you attached but the sound didn't work(no input devices was detected), is there anything I should do other than restarting the system after installation?

Here's the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17510525/Mac/org.chameleon.Boot.plist.zip

 

Thanks for your help.

You need to repair the permissions like you did with the other kext earlier.

 

Try this boot file out,

 

org.chameleon.Boot.plist.zip

[eng.3aref]

I repaired the permissions but still the sound didn't work, and when I used your edited org.chameleon.boot.plist file, the system didn't boot at all, it freezed at a blank screen right before the "choose boot disk" screen, so I had to use the iATKOS DVD to boot into my harddisk and put the original boot file back.

 

what should I do?

 

[update]

I edited the resolution in your boot file to 1024x768x32 and it worked, but the sound problem still exists.
