Hi guys,

 

Like all of you i was very excited to finally download iATKOS.

I burnt it to DVD and popped it into my HP NC8000 laptop. Its set to boot from DVD. The hard drive has no partitions and has been formatted to NTFS.

 

I get the following screen:

Then when hit enter i get this:

 

IMG_0212.jpg

 

It just sits here and does not go further!

 

PLZ HELP!

That's a reasonably normal message to get. Try booting with -v -f -x, failing that see if -v -f -s gets you into single user mode. It would help if you said what hardware and bios settings you were using. Additionally, your drive should be formatted as MBR partition, HFS+ journaled file system.

 

Oh, {censored} - I just realised you haven't installed the system and are just struggling to boot the thing. That doesn't look good. And why is your optical drive HD31!?

Same Issue w/ Lenovo (IBM) T42. Really would love to find a fix. Someone mentioned putting an old extension file on the DVD, any suggestions on how to do that? Tiger installed great on this laptop, new drive makes me kinda wanna use new OS.

NC8000 does not have sata controller

NC8000 comes with Pentium M (centrino), it is one processor

 

Just got NC8000 from a friend. It has the most weird bios configuration option I have ever seen.

it has nothing to configure. :poster_spam:

 

Well, my installer DVD passed this line but got stuck on some other line for a couple of minutes, then automatically shuts down the system :poster_spam:

 

I was trying with kalyway 10.5.1

In case it helps someone Google this:

 

cpus=1 -v -f -x

 

worked for me on an Acer Extensa 5620 (5600 series?) using Kalyway 10.5.2. (Thanks mkayz!)

 

Also of note -- I installed to a USB drive, and the installation was about 500% faster after I used the disk partitioning utility to change the FAT32 drive to HFS+ (case sensitive, journaled).

 

Best,

Ben

 

Update: forgot to mention, the only BIOS setting I had to change was setting SATA mode to AHCI.
