argonlazer Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello. I am having a problem trying to install iAtkos. I have downladed iATKOS v1.0i and I cannot seem to even get to the Apple loading screen! It starts loading the DVD after choosing to select to boot and then it restarts after half a minute. I have tried -v -x -f -legacy and cpus=1 and none of these have made any difference! TBH I am a NOOB when it comes to MAC Installations and I have been doing lots of reading but nothing seems to have been relevant to my problem. My Computer Spec: Processor : Intel Pentium D Frequency : 2666 MHz Manufacturer : Packard Bell NEC Mainboard : NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL GA-8TRC410M-NF Bios : Phoenix Technologies, LTD Chipset : ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 Physical Memory : 2048 MB DDR2-SDRAM Please help me.

TheTimster Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 your problem is the kernel isn't compatible with your system. this is causing a kernel panic on boot and in turn resets the system. theres nothing you can do about this. the best advice i can give you is to try another distro. try either ToH's 10.5.0 RC2 release or Kalyway's 10.5.1 release. ToH's is known to work on just about every system, kalyway is less likely to work, but more likely to work than iatkos which is meant for sse2 machines (i beleive pentium d is sse2, not 3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonlazer Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Wow a good reply thank you. Ironically I just moved from Kalyways release for a similar reason. On the sse3 note, CPUID says differently? I'll try and download TOH now. Last question. I just tried Kaylway again with 'cpus=1 -v -x -f -s' and it loaded lots of text on screen and got a point where it wanted me to type in commands? Kind of like DoS. Shall I post a screen shot if it does it again or do you know what that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
