KoozyK Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Answers:1. Yes- your XP partition is accessable within the Darwin Bootloader, just press F8 before darwin loads...2. Vanilla basically means all legi files, with iATKOS you can install official updates (if you have installed efi)A release cannot support ALL sata drives however it can support a high amount of the sata drives.No, currently iATKOS supports MBR. You don't need to dedicate an whole harddrive for iATKOS, you can dualboot. hi everyone. first post after lurking for some time figuring out some stuff. i'm going to make a dual boot system (with compatable hardware) using xp and iATKOS. i just want to clarify how to go about all this with the darwin bootloader. i was going to use one 320gb drive and partition accordingly for the os's. 1) if i install xp on the first partition and osx iatkos on the second, will darwin detect xp in the bootloader screen? 2) same question, but with each os on their own hard drive (ide)? 3) with pc efi, will we be able to use boot camp or parallels? i just want to have a clear idea before jumping in and there's no real complete guide showing how iatkos works out (since no one seems to have it). i won't have the chance to install and tweak until probably xmas day, please detail your experience for us inexperienced kids.

Neonkoala Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Just to point out a couple of things about the original post, the Vanilla install whereby you can use Apple software Update to update only works on Core based systems. Second ToH isn't "some guy" but Team of Hackintosh. Nice FAQ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

consolation Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 1- Make sure that the md5 of the iso image that you downloaded matches the one posted on our website. Otherwise you have a faulty DVD. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly. I can't believe that urban myth is still doing the rounds. It may have been true in the days of x1-4 drives (mostly due to buffer overruns on slow systems), nowadays the dyes are designed for high speed burning - slowing the speed can increase the surface temperature past optimal, resulting in failed or sub-par burns.

mikeutter Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 One observation about the HCL posted in osx86 project wiki. Intel x3100 integrated graphics is "not working". MacBooks come with this, so how come? Can someone confirm/deny a laptop with GM965 chipset plus X3100 graphics will work with iATKOS without any external kext?

evopanop Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 This is currently at 91% for me... hopefully it works with my new rig. Anyone know for sure if it'll work? The specs for my rig are listed in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoozyK Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 should i make a tutorial with a video? a tutorial would be nice. just more detail on the install process would be nice is all. i'm sure more will come out once people actually have the install disk. video isn't all too needed, i think everyone just wants more information since we have mostly nothing. any help is appreciated.

Empra Great Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi I installed iATKOS and it installed perfectly (it took me only 15 min!!!) everything work except the wireless and the sound input (output work great), My installation was with EFI emulation boot using stock kernel and stock ACPIPlatform kernel extension with EFI emulation, dose this mean I can install future updates from Apple, is these are the Vanilla ones?

bofors Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I've tried but i can't get to the bootloader after i customised and installed. I think you are supposed to install the bootloader (by running the "Darwin Boot" script") before you "customize and install". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogs Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I think you are supposed to install the bootloader (by running the "Darwin Boot" script") before you "customize and install". I did that, and it's not recognizing that I installed iATKOS. I had XP installed first, then I installed this on the second partition, installing the Darwin Boot on the second partition with Leopard, and when it restarts after it finishes installing it just goes to the CD again, even though HD is above CD in boot order. When I pull the CD, it boots right to Windows. Can anyone help? Do I need to use chain0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badie05 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I, I recently got a copy of iATKOS 1.0i and this is my first time actually getting something to work. I burned the ISO at 4x on a DVD-R. I restarted my PC and held down ESC (for my motherboard) to load from disc. I got the apple icon and the loading cursor. After a few seconds to about a minute, I see a little circle with a cross sign going through it. Nothing happens beyond that point. Please verify what is wrong. I have tried multiple installation methods for Leopard (ToH, Flat Image, Brazil Mac Patch....) and I am getting very sick and tired of failing. This could be the awesome Christmas present for a buddy of mine if I could just get it to work. Please support me. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selayan Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Badie, that sign with a cross is a "still waiting for root device" error. Means it cant find your drive. Try changing in you Bios from IDE to Raid/ATA or ACHI under drive options. Im not sure wat bios you have but you should have more than one option under that.

Moogs Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Okay, I tried the chain0 thing, and I can get it too boot into iATKOS; it gets to the white screen with the Apple logo and the spinning circle underneath, but every time the circle stops spinning and it just locks up. I'm running a Core2 Pro, and I've tried both the EFI and non-EFI installs. With a Core2 Pro, which options should I be selecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
