reilley Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hello all! I have an HP dv9233cl with Intel Core 2 and installed iAtkos 1.0 when it became available. Besides a few hardware glitches (wireless, webcam, external sound jacks - the same problems others have had), this version has worked GREAT, booting very fast under a dual-boot setup with Vista via EasyBCD (two 120gb SATA with Vista on one and Mac OSX on the other). In my quest to keep the version up to date, I acquired the Kalyway 10.5.2 ComboUpdate and subsequent Kalyway 10.5.2 kernel update mpkg. I first installed the combo update and upon rebooting, I get the standard Apple screen for a few seconds, then a white (off-grey, actually) screen that lasts for at least three minutes before the Leopard desktop appears. I read in another thread that the resolution is to repair the permissions and then apply the Kalyway 10.5.2 kernel mpkg. Well, I did. When you install the kernel mpkg, one is prompted to choose between the "vanilla" kernel and the modified kernel. I wasn't sure which to select other than the fact that the description says for Intel Core 2 Duo SSE3 machines only, so I chose that one based on my configuration. Bad choice - upon rebooting, I get an Apple screen for about five seconds and then the system restarts. This cycles repeats endlessly. So here I am - a decent install that has ran pretty soild since iAtkos first appeared, but now with one keystroke it is gone. I am asking for a little help from you guys out there who are much more familiar with Mac recovery than I. The way I see it, my choices are: 1. Reinstall iAtkos 1.0 from scratch and start over. 2. Beg for help and ask you guys to tell me how to recover without a reinstall. I was thinking the best answer would be to boot from the iAtkos install DVD and then apply the CORRECT kernel from the Kalyway 10.5.2 kernel updates, but I do not knowhow to do this. It wasn't obvious when I booted from the iAtkos DVD. Can anyone tell me the best course of action and how to go about it? I appreciate your thoughts and advice!

garikfox Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Heres what I did. After the Combo 10.5.2 updater reboots, twice actually lol, Install the Kernel pkg, I used the Vanilla kernel. Then all you do is before restarting is repair permissions THEN reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reilley Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks for your reply! The only problem is that my notebook is now rebooting over and over and I don;t know how to stop it. You guys will laugh - I am posting from an Apple store in Boca Raton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
