I have a very big problem with my installation of iATKOS v7.
After I finish installing it on my computer [with a succesfull installation!], on the first boot when it reaches the grey screen with the apple logo, it just hangs/crashes there! Also, the spinning circle never appears!
Also, while it is hanged, there is NO activity from my HDD!

My computer specs are:

HP Pavilion 760n
1.25 GB RAM
Pentium 4 1.8ghz CPU
Asus P4B266-LA Motherboard

Thank-you! Please reply!

HELP! iATKOS v7 Insatllation Problem

@excelonDid you read the install instructions at the beginning? what options did you pick? Have you completed a successful install of OSX86 before? If this is your first attempt then make sure you read all the instructions in that build when you fire it up. That system board should support OSX86 no problem.

Thanks for replying!:)
Yes, I read the instructions at the begining.
For the options that I picked, I only chose what my system had and nothing else.
I have completed many succesfull installations, and by now I have almost tried every different OSx86 mac edition…[ideneb, iPC, iATKOS...]
But this one, [iATKOS] I want to make it work!
I also have a Intel AC'97 Audio Controller sound card, and a horrible AGP nVidia 32mb video card.
Exactly what drivers/patches/or options should I choose and do you have any other suggestions to make this work?

I will try the voodoo kernel today and post if it works!
