I try to boot OSx86 installation cd (tried iATKOS v7, iDeneb Lite, iDeneb-non-lite-latest, LawlessPPC ecc.). After loading darwin and specified -legacy -v -f cpus=1 the installer load some kext. After this my PC reboot. Seem to print an error in which I see only EFI:… becouse the reboot is very fast and I can't read nothing.
With iATKOS v4 the problem not exist on my hardware but during installation of
packages (payloadextractor: extracting...) my HDD go in sleep without reason also if
in BIOS all Power Management options are disabled.
I have read in some forum the possible reason of the first problem (reboot):
Is possible that my BIOS have No-Execute Memory Protection set in bad way.
The problem is that I can't find this options in my BIOS for changing it.
- I tried to set Disabled ACPI 2. Nothing resolved.
- Updated BIOS to latest version. Nothing resolved.
- Tried to modify BIOS rom image for reflashing with AMIBCP. Nothing resolved.
I have viewed a page (netkas blog) where there is a EFI patch for chamaleon rc1
that seem to can resolve this problem. In the patch there is file called 'boot'. It's a binary file and I'm running Windows and I don't know how to use this to patch the iATKOS Installation DVD or also other OSx86 distributions.
I paste now my hardware specifications:
Motherboard: Asus K8U-X
Motherboad chipset: ALI M1689 rev. 00
Processor: AMD Sempron 2800+
Southbridge: ALI M1563
CPU supported instructions: MMX+, 3DNow+, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64
RAM: 1 GB
Graphic Card: NVidia GeForce4 MX 4000
and I hope to help other ppl becouse mine is a common problem.
Thank you very much to the community.
