iATKOS v2.0i has been released by the OSx86 Türk Team and is currently on the Green Demon. If you aren't registered at the Demon, be sure to grab the torrent as soon as possible because unregistered users can only access recent torrents.

Readme:

Attention:

 

1- This DVD is designed for Intel architectures.

Minimum requirements: Intel SSE3 CPU, 512MB RAM, 12GB free space on target partition.

 

2- This DVD includes Apple's OS X Leopard 10.5.2 (9C7010) installation.

 

3- Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one posted on our website. Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly.

 

 

Information:

 

- This release supports GPT (Guid Partition Table) partition map scheme. You can change your partition table type to GPT via Disk Utility or some other partition managers. We advice Parted Magic Live CD which is based on GParted.

 

- This release also includes Darwin EFI emulation boot for MBR (Master Boot Record) harddrives. Intel Core CPUs can use stock kernel and stock ACPIPlatform with EFI emulation on MBR and with GPT. This increases stability and performance.

 

- Intel CoreDuo Processors have appropriate SpeedStep Technology which is stable in OS X. If you have such processor, you can enable throttling feature using the "SpeedStep" package which you can find under system drivers section. Note that speedstep kernel is included in iATKOS main system, so don't select any of the kernels with speedstep support if you don't want to have kernel panic.

 

- There are some boot options for some various hardware. Boot DVD, press F8 and enter:

nforce -v

for nForce motherboards with intel SSE3 CPU

nforce_core -v

for nForce motherboards with Intel Core CPU

toh -v

for booting with ToH 9.2.0 kernel which works nice on many types of hardware

 

 

Installation:

 

1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install. Do partitioning if you need to.

 

a- You can choose MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (Guid Partition Table) via partitioning options. If you want to change your existing partition table type, know that all your existing data on disk will be gone.

b- For Windows fellows that has not tested this amazing system yet and that does not want to loose their windows software, porn and virus&trojan archive on D:\, should use Parted Magic Live CD for preparing an active primary target partition and after that, just erase it via diskutil. Jump to Step 2.

 

2- Select the destination for installation.

 

3- Click customize and select what you need.

 

4- Click Install.

 

Install time is about 20 minutes.

 

 

 

Multiboot:

 

iATKOS 2.0i has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easier than ever.

 

Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Vista-Linux.

 

- MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to MBR (msdos type) and create 3 primary partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 for the others.

Note: %99.99999 of the PC harddrives already have MBR partition map scheme (msdos type) which you can change it to GPT via Parted Magic CD or iATKOS Disk Utility if you like to.

 

- Add boot flag to Vista or Linux target and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, do not install bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root.

 

- Boot iATKOS 2.0i DVD and install OS X to its target as usual.

 

- Now you need to repair Vista. Add boot flag to Vista partition, boot Vista DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS X partition, thats all.

 

Now you have triple boot on MBR.

 

Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot.

 

- GPT (Guid Partition Table) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to GPT (Guid Partition Table) and create 3 partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 (msdos) for the others.

 

- Boot iATKOS 2.0i DVD, install only bootloader to OS X target. ***

 

- Boot Vista or Linux media and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, install the bootloader to linux root.

 

- Boot iATKOS 2.0i DVD and install OS X as usual.

 

Now you have triple boot on GPT, thats all.

 

As you see, preparing multiboot system on GPT is more practical and easier.

Darwin on GPT will see other OS' as Foreign Boot.

 

*** For pro-users: You can re-install Darwin bootloader by booting the iATKOS DVD with -s. Boot with -s and enter darwin command, follow the instructions. For MBR HD, you can add boot flag via fdisk after darwin installation.

 

 

Known Issues:

 

1- Jmicron IDE controllers are known to have issues with OS X.

 

2- Some 965 chipset MSI and ASUS motherboards (desktop and laptop) have issues with this OS. ACPI errors while booting with DVD and also with hd. There will be patches for those uncompatible devices and there is also a patch for 1.0ir2.

 

3- This dvd may not include all the necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may be needed to be taken by the user to setup and use such components.

 

4- Be sure that the labels of your hfs+ partitions are not similar. ie. Mac 1, MacOS or Leopard X, Leopard Y. Installer may fail to determine the target partition to install the system if the labels match.

 

 

Unsuccessful Installation and Related Symptoms:

 

 

1- I get the error "com.apple.Boot.plist is not found" while booting the DVD

 

--> You are probably trying to boot from an unsupported controller.

~ You should use usb dvd rom drive, or you may need sata-ide convertor for your dvd rom drive (jmicron).

 

2- System freezes at grey screen by booting the DVD.

 

--> You probably have an unsupported chipset.

*965 chipset ASUS or MSI motherboard/laptop

*many VIA, SIS, ATI chipset motherboards

~ Change your hardware :)

~ A patch can be possible for 965 ASUS/MSI hardware, so keep on watching this community.

Common Sense

Hecabe: There absolutely is 64 bits support in iATKOS 2.0i but there are other strange problems. Have you got qe/ci working on your graphics card?

 

Also there is a framework problem in iATKOS 2.0i which can be seen when trying to launch skype. I had to restore frameworks from the 10.5.2 apple update and the latest safari update to fix the problem (first using pacifist to extract all the frameworks from 10.5.2 and then installing safari update by double clicking on it).

 

Also I had to manually install the boot loader when using efi v8 on a guid partition.

 

Seems like this version of iATKOS has some issues.

 

EDIT: I think your problem with webstart is due to the fact that the framework webutils seems to be broken and possible another one that it depends on. Maybe Uphuck have distributed incompatible versions of the frameworks. Restoring the frameworks will most likely fix your problem.

Someone elsewhere on the forum had suggested the iATKOS version of Leopard for his ML6720, because he had gotten his keyboard working and everything and I was wondering if there was a way to get the keyboard working from the install, and if not, if someone can point me towards a guide to get it working after the install. I tried the keyboard soultions thread already with no luck.

Hey there,

 

I can't seem to get passed the black screen with the white blinking cursor after installing this copy of Leo.

 

I am trying to install iATKOS v2.0i re-released by brokenstones on an external USB SATA harddrive.

 

I would also like to point out that i am running XP and ubntu on my internal hdd and with the default grub boot-loader installed automatically by ubuntu.

 

Basically, using gparted I reformatted my external hdd to FAT32 (diskable: msdos). I pop the DVD in and go through all the necessary steps in the disk utility. So I select my external USB HDD > partition tab > Set volume to 1 partition scheme, give the partition a name (Mac OS X) >set the format to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) then i click options to select MBR.

 

After clicking apply and partitioning is done I select the new volume (Mac OS X) > erase tab > confirm erase. Once that is done I proceed with the installation. At the end I am prompted to restart my system which I do but after the BIOS screen I come to a halt.... a blank, black screen with a white blinking cursor.

 

I made sure that in BIOS the BOOT option is set to my external USB HDD.

 

i appologise for the long post and appreciate any help!

I just managed to solve the problem. Here it goes:

 

original post by Hackajt:

 

I found that making a partion with disk utility and choosing Zero out Data under Security Options was the best way for avoiding the blinking cursor....Works everytime for me.

 

http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?...=a&start=90

 

... so basically when you are erase your harddisk select "Zero out Data" in the security options found under the erase tab. This will probably take a long time depending on your harddisk size but it's worth it!! :wacko:

Help! I downloaded an iATKOS iso image, as well as a Kalyway Leopard iso, and none of them seem to work. When I look at the contents of the iso, I see only 2 or so files, and the total size is not more than 200 KB. Is this supposed to happen (and will it still work if I go ahead and burn a DVD), or is the iso damaged and do I need to re-download it somewhere? I got these from torrents. If mine is damaged, where should I look for a working iso?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're looking at it from a Windows machine, that's all you will more than likely see unless you use a program like MagicISO or something like that.

Hi to all, I have the same problems to... I run the disk utility & try to erase the target partition and I can't do that!!

Every time I erase it, the partition is MS-DOS (FAT 32) and it isn't mounted...

NO chance to mount it!!!!
