Hey All Can you please help me out with iAtkos v5
I have:
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-DS3R
CPU: Intel LGA 775 3.0 GHZ DUAL CORE
Graphics: 8800 GTX
LAN: on motherboard
I am clueless on the stuff i should check under Customization. Thanks for the help.
what customization are you struck at? choosing kernel? or drivers or anything specific?
List clearly your video card, audio card, Chipset, then for the list appropriately choose the right drivers. If you dont find appropriate one, try the forum, They might have the answer. you can choose Vanilla kernel or the voodoo kernel. my suggestion would be voodoo, though ppl feel "Sexy"(ok..atleast some..) using Vanilla kernel.
u may sometimes have to try different combos on drivers if it things dont work. Be aware, it is time consuming...some times frustrating..most of the times u may have to reinstall multiple times.

Well, first of all, i tried installing with just leaving customization at its defaults and when it restarted, I got the You need to restart your computer error.

Then I tried selecting the voodo kernal and tryed installing with some of the driver option that i think applied to me.. it still wont work. I need to know exactly which things to check and which ones to not.

try booting with "-x" flag, maybe it's a graphics kexts issue, so u need to fix your kexts, if it boots try erasing all graphics kexts, and then search for the good ones for your chipset and install it, then reboot with "-f" boot flag.

on the website of iatkos, it says that my graphics card should work fine with it.
