codywolf12 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ok so I found a nice tut to install iATKOS. So I format my drive part it with GPART and pop in the disk I formated it to(mac os jl) did the darwin bootloader efi stuff and installed it. Now it boots up and it asks me if I want to tranfer any of my files that I had on an older mac I say no and hit continue. It hangs for about 30secs and goes to the start up video again where is says welcome in like a 1000 different langs. If some one can help me out that would rocks. Sorry for my bad english -Cody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my bad english -Cody I have the same trouble where it keeps going back to the start up video again. You aren't alone, if that helps at all. I know at least 5 other people who have mentioned the same. If I find a way around it, I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obs0lete Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've seen this error come up in a few threads in these forums. The solution was to get the user data from a working installation of Tiger and then transfer from that. If you don't have Tiger installed on another machine I would suggest first installing Tiger, then copying you user data to a thumbdrive, install iATKOS and when you get to the prompt asking to transfer files plug in your thumb drive and copy the data. You should now be able to boot into iAKTOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansei-sensei Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 How much user data is transferred? I could just have a roommate set up a fake username for me on their mac, run the migration assistant, and have it export the basically empty user profile from their leopard install (powerpc)? thanks for the info. I'll have to give that a try. If it needs to be a tiger install I'm SOL for now. My only real mac (a mac mini running tiger) is a 6 hour drive from here.

obs0lete Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm not sure if it will work from a Leopard install although I don't see why it wouldn't. Never hurts to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansei-sensei Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I took a look at the migration wizard and it seems like no matter what it's going to copy all his user data and that's definitely not what I want to do. I guess I need to download another massive iso and get a clean tiger system up and running I've also read that this can be caused by having no detected network interface, which might be the case for me. It has a Broadcom 57xx gigabit ethernet card and an Intel 3945 wireless (which I know doesn't work) thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obs0lete Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well you could copy his data over to your machine, setup your own account and then delete his after you have it up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansei-sensei Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well you could copy his data over to your machine, setup your own account and then delete his after you have it up and running. thanks again for the suggestion! Just wanted to report back that it did in fact work. I did it from a leopard machine actually. I took the hard drive that I used to put kalyway 10.5.1 on my thinkpad t42, stuck it in an external usb/firewire enclosure, hooked it up when I was at the 'transfer settings' screen and it worked great from there. Now I can begin the 'fun' process of getting the broadcom 57xx gigabit card working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to that part, unplug your keyboard and plug it back in. If that doesn't work, make sure there are no keys stuck on your keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavarno Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 When you get the video reappearing, just force-power off the machine and reboot. This time you can progress beyond the 'transfer data page'. It worked for me! Just see Orteginho's videos on Youtube... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
