iAtkos v7 not booting, screen goes black.
Well, my thread title says it all i guess?
I had the same thing with iDeneb v1.6. Anyone has a solution for this? My PC Specs are in my signature. Thanks in advance. Elvir. EDIT: Hmm, i used a different chipset, and now it doesn't say it anymore, but now my screen goes blank after that.

I got exactly your situation when I installed Leopard/Snow Leopard for my friend and I solved it:
Try to boot in safe mode with -x option In safe mode, your display would always be 1024x768 and no QE/CL but it's just a temporary until you install a correct driver in a correct way, please check out http://netkas.org/?p=284 After install Leopard you can install Snow Leopard and find a driver + instructions for your graphics card It seems Leopard doesn't have driver for 46xx, only Snow Leopard have Beside iAtkos You can try iPC iDeneb XXX... for Leopard 10.6.2 Pcj 64-bit kernel | Mobo Asus P5LD2-VM Revision 1.03 945G/ICH7 Graphic Intel GMA950 | CPU Pentium 4 630 3 GHz HT Sleep never wake up, Quicktime 64-bit crashed 10.6.2 Vanilla | Mobo GigaByte GA-EP43T-UD3L | CPU C2D E7500 | GPU GigaByte GV-N240D3-1GI Nvidia GT240 ( Full QE/CI ) Last edited by NghiaDev; 12-26-2009 at 06:32 PM. |

Ok, strangly enough, it didn't work.
So maybe it better to skip Leopard, and go to Snow leopard instead? Is there a distro that you recommend for my pc? Elvir.

If you wanna install Snow Leopard, you could use Empire EFI
The other way is that you need to install Leopard first then install Snow Leopard, after installing Snow, you can safely delete Leopard, installed Leopard is used for set up Snow such as creating DSDT, create customized USB install disc... You do not need to install Leopard first if you already have Leopard on a Mac. I've chosen this way because the first time I come to Mac OS X, Empire EFI or Snow Leopard haven't yet released I would recommend other distros such as iPC, XXX v2, iDeneb... and burn it to DVD and try to install with different options, always -v to see what's going on, what stopped you Other options you can try are cpus=1 ( rarely need, but in some PC when install Leopard, I have to use this to make boot possible ) or -x ( only if you can't boot normally )... you could try variety of combination of them It's normal when your hardware specs can work with some but not the other distros, and it's usual when you have to reboot your PC and install HUNDREDS of times to find out the best install for your PC I don't think there is problem with your graphics card because I've tried with 4670 4650 10.6.2 Pcj 64-bit kernel | Mobo Asus P5LD2-VM Revision 1.03 945G/ICH7 Graphic Intel GMA950 | CPU Pentium 4 630 3 GHz HT Sleep never wake up, Quicktime 64-bit crashed 10.6.2 Vanilla | Mobo GigaByte GA-EP43T-UD3L | CPU C2D E7500 | GPU GigaByte GV-N240D3-1GI Nvidia GT240 ( Full QE/CI ) Last edited by NghiaDev; 12-26-2009 at 11:36 PM. |

So, if i get you right, its possible with Empire EFI to install Snow Leopard without havong Leopard installed, is that correct?
Else, i try i deneb and a other bunch of distro's to get Leopard working first. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
