kidstechno Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 So I've had XP and Vista installed (XP on my C and Vista on a 30gb partition on my E: drive, renamed to V:) and am tinkering around with OSX86, iATKOS v1.0i The problem is I created a 20g partition named Mac as M: formatted it to FAT32 (also on my E: drive), made it active etc etc. Popped in the DVD and erased M: to the Mac Journaled partition and installed Max OSX. The problem is that Mac does not appear as an option in Vista Bootloader when it starts up, and I tried using EasyBCD to manually enter the Mac entry and entered the E: drive path. However, when trying to boot into Mac OSX it says enter your Vista DVD to repair etc and all that mess. So I'm guessing there's extra steps, what are they?

So I'm guessing there's extra steps, what are they? maybe not enough info from you. are you using tboot or chain0 and entry in boot.ini to get OSX recognized by vista bootloader? that's what I used and works fine. the darwin bootloader should also see the vista install and let you boot from it when you have the osx partition active. I was never able to use easybcd to get this to work and I don't like using a blackbox program that messes with my bootloader. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=79199# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidstechno Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 After I install Mac OSX it doesn't even boot into it, it goes straight to the Vista Bootloader with Windows XP/Vista as the only options. I'm currently researching the boot.ini, chain0 stuff, would I do that before or after the Mac install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidstechno Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ok figured it out, I had to hit F8 and choose my hard drive and it boots into Darwin, but when I choose Mac is shows the Apple logo and then restarts so I'm guessing kernel panic. However, when I tried doing it with -v it flashed so face I couldn't see what was wrong. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? yep, F8 just as I posted in the link above. if you can take a pic of your kernel panic message we will be able to help. I realize that sometimes it will reboot quite quickly. you just need to figure out the last line right before it rebooted. I don't know about iatkos release, I myself had no problems with kalyway's release. try to use toh kernel when you install, not vanilla. not sure what options you use. probably need to know that as well, also with your system specs.
