AppleGirl Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hey you guys, I really feel guilty asking a new question but I've looked ALL OVER for an answer to my problem trying to get Apple Leopard (iATKOS) to work on my HP dv8000t laptop (Intel Centrino Duo Processor), but I really need help and I don't have a clue as to what I should do. Please anyone..I really need help. My problem is: -When I load up the iATKOS installation everything goes well until I get to Darwin BootLoader..when I get there it says "MountVol" I'm guessing this means the drive didn't mount correctly? It then says things like it can't complete and then finally process complete. -After the installation goes through, it reboots but goes back to the Darwin Installation menu, forcing me to go back into the iATKOS installer. -When I click -s (singleuser mode) it stalls when it gets to Singleuser boot --fsck not done Root device is mounted read-only If you want to make modifications to files: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / If you wish to boot the system: exit When I click /sbin/fsck -fy it says dev/rdisk0s3 (NO WRITE) Root File Sytem Checking non-journaled HFS Plus volume. Checking Extents Overflow File. Checking Catalog File. blah blah a bunch of checking Then it says iATKOS seems to be OK. Then we i click the /sbin/mount -uw / root_device on / (hfs, local, read-only) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) fdesc on /dev (fdesc, union) If any of you guys could help me, I would love you Please though, if any of you can help me I'd be really really thankful!!

00diabolic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Did you try to boot with -x (safe mode) & -v verbose. What does that freeze on? Post back your results.

AppleGirl Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 It went into the installer from safe mode.

00diabolic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Take the disc out when you boot. Hit f8 and type -v and -x it should attempt to boot the install of leopard you tried and then freeze somewhere after that. Also did you burn the DVD at 1x? Could be a bad burn or disc. Did you run darwin bootloader install before you installed iAtkos? In iAtkos did you customize the options? No vanilla kernal options. Delete IntelCPU kext That should work for most systems. Also after install you need to use parted Magic/gparted/QTparted to make the partition active. Also can you provide your full system specs.

AppleGirl Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 When I take the disk out, it says "HFS+ Partition Error" I used Magic Iso? Yeah, and I burned it at the lowest speed. I did run Darwin before when I tried to install Leopard with BrazilMac's 9a581 Leopard Install, and I had the same exact problem in singleuser mode. I ran it a few times with a couple different customization, once with nothing, once with everything, and once with just a NVIDIA driver.

macgirl Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Looking backwards to Marklar-Tiger Image 9 days are nothing, so do not desperate. But if you coul tell us about your PC specs will facilitate things, also a picture of the errors on screen. Did you follow any of the Guides at Genius Bar?

00diabolic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 You can get full system specs from HP's website. Chipset is an important part.

macgirl Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yes, not just the brand but the series/model. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77669-concernedive-been-trying-to-get-this-working-for-9-days-now/#findComment-549687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleGirl Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 For the chipset driver it says: Intel Chipset Installation Utility for ICH7 (So I'm assuming it's ICH7?) I can't find the product specs for the dv8000t on the HP Site, I did google it and found some stuff but there's two kinds of dv8000's one is amd and mine is intel centrino duo, so it makes it hard to find out exactly. I know for a fact the controller driver is Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77669-concernedive-been-trying-to-get-this-working-for-9-days-now/#findComment-549705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 After you installed everithing did you removed the DVD to avoid booting from DVD? If not, I don't get it how it is going back to the Darwin Installation menu? Is that menu the bootloader or the Installation graphic menu? I'm confused.

00diabolic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Are you on a jmicro controller? Ive heard of some strange strange issues with jmicro controllers when installing OSX. In the documents with your laptop there should have been some sorta paperwork that gives your models exact model number. For example my compaq presario is in the c700 family. It is a c712nr to be exact. If you can get your unique identifier then you can give us all of the specs. Also have you checked the HCL for your model. See if anyone else has gotten either Tiger or Leopard to install on your laptop. The HCL is here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77669-concernedive-been-trying-to-get-this-working-for-9-days-now/#findComment-549766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
