Solarisis Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Got exactly the same problem , Also used Nvinject (or something) but then 128MB Also got the Darwin/X86 part, Maybe we installed a wrong patch or something with the 'customize' part?

S.SubZero Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I believe the /x86 thing is normal, and will appear with all OS X installs on Intel platform, including Intel Macs. This is because Apple also makes OS X for the PPC platform. Apple put that there. Your RAM count is also all wrong. 14MB? What kind of PC are you trying to run this on?

Solarisis Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I actually just activated some patches and excluded some others, which i thought was correct, so maybe i installed a patch which wasn't needed or uncompatible. I also installed 2 ethernet patches, one from realtek, and the Rhine, because i can't remember anymore which i had. Are there some tutorials or people telling which patches they activated using which hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugazi Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The Darwin screen is normal and so is the 14MB message (I get it with an 8800). Did you install using MBR or GUID? Also try not installing the EFI and only the bootloader. After that it worked perfectly for me and I was stuck in a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigworm Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 try boot in verbose mode and see what's going on. (-v and then enter) Like fugazi said, the darwin screen is perfect normal with 14 MB. Make sure you partition your disk correctly. duo core should work with EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidyaha Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 verbose or any other flag wont respond.... thing is i really need EFI bootloader to run fast and stable... i already had ToH with no EFI and that worked sloww..... any way to fix the EFI on iATKOS?? thanks for the help!!! oh and i used MBR couple of times and then tried kalyway format cd... same outcome..

fugazi Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 davidyaha: Did you install the drivers for them in your last install? Because right now I am using the non-EFI method and it runs pretty much native for me, but before I installed the drivers for the 8800 it was terribly slow. Use this for any 8 series card from nvidia - http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/showthread.php...;highlight=8xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djspacee Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi guys, I've got the same problem as well I'm starting to think it must just be Iatkos's DVD the only problem is, i just installed Tiger, and that wouldn't boot without the DVD either!!! Originally i had windows XP and Tiger installed, using acronis OS selector and mac os x would always boot The only weird thing is, i could have sworn that at some point i only had tiger installed on the drive (and no acronis/windows XP) and i can't understand why the darwin bootloader fails to load. I have tried setting OSx's partition active using fdisk in the terminal, and was hoping this would help, but no bootloader. i'm downloading Kalyway now, before i did this iatkos install without EFI or wanilla kernel, i installed it with EFI emulation running the shell script and installing the vanilla kernel (and the kext below it) and the appleSMBios.Kext I had the same EFI problem as the guy at the top of this thread, with the system going round in a continuos loop have i selected the right EFI options? is iAtkos's DVD just {censored}?!!!! have i ever had a working darwin bootloader in the first place??? dunno. could it be something i Havent done? or is my hard drive just damaged ....?? god knows this is sending my brain round in circles I've read threads about people who can't get the Iatkos DVd to boot at all, lots of people have been writing that they are sick of Iatkos's DVD because it has wasted hours of their time. Has anyone had a succesfull install of Kalyway, where it loads the bootloader?? (using the darwin bootloader and EFi, and no dual boot with windows) i would really appreciate any help Gigabyte P35-DS3P XFX geforce 7600GT Q6600 2.4 gigahertz core 2 duo 2GB crucial RAM 500 Gb Samsung Spinpoint hard disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigworm Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 iATKOS worked fine for me. My mobo is GA-P35-DS3L and I'm triple booting Leopard, XP and Vista. Make sure you install the boot loader correctly. If you installed it correctly, you will see a post installation confirmation in that terminal scripts. Also, unplug all other drives when you install Leopard. See my guide for easy triple boot set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidyaha Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 where can i see if it was installed correctly? what is that i should write in the terminal? thanks for your help!!! also thanks @fugazi for your 8 force support... i mean thanks for giving me the link... it worked perfectly when i use ToH dvd for booting to my iAtkos System.... (when i use Iatkos dvd it just wont work... gues it aint using the new kext's from my system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
