Hi,
I am just tired of trying out everything. But nothing seems to be working.
My PC config:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz (Prescott)
Motherboard: Intel D945GTP
Chipset: Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family
Instruction set supported: MMX, SSE (1,2,3), EM64T
Bios Version: NT94510J.86A.4131
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
Graphics: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME = GMA 950 (128 MB)
Ethernet: D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100 Adapter
Audio: Intel Integrated Audio
DVD Rom: attached with SATA cable to the motherboard
HDD: attached with IDE cable to the motherboard (40GB)
Microsoft PS2 Keyboard
Microsoft USB mouse
The HDD has 2 partitions, both primary. On one of them I have Windows XP SP3.
The BIOS has HPET option enabled.
The previous experiences were:
1. tonymacosx86: Burnt iBoot to cd. After booting through the cd and then inserting the Mac SL Retail DVD (downloaded from isohunt) the icon doesnt change to SL. Could not progress further.
2. ToH: Got installed successfully after I had formatted my entire HDD to remove xp also. ToH version is quite old, 10.5.3. So when i tried updating it to 10.5.8 from the built in update system, it crashed. Also, if I have XP in another partition the ToH does gets installed, but does not boot up.
3. iATkos s3 v2: Gets installed without any problem. But does not boot. Tried with cpus=1 busratio =16 arch=i386 flag but still no success. Also, tried customizing the installation by selecting the modified kernel. That too didnt work.
Also, all the 3 times i had tried installing through the DVD drive.
Can someone pls help me here. Which distro should i go along with and how?
Also, what is the difference between iAtkos s3 v2 and iatkos v7?
I would ideally like to have xp and SL dual boot on my current HDD.
Waiting for your replies .......
