Hi. I'm trying to install iATKOS 5i on my Dell Studio 1535 laptop. Wen I boot, it hangs on ACPI error. I passed cpus=1 boot option and I got into installation program. I installed with default options and added intel X3100 drivers only. When installation is complete, I can boot into leopard, but as soon as spining wheel is gone, blue screen appears and then my screen is turned off. Connecting external monitor does not help.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
I removed all AppleIntelX3100*.kext and it's working, but I can only set 1024x768 resolution. Is there any possibility to get native 1280x800 resolution, e.g. some "fixed" drivers? Thx

I googled a workaround which worked for me: Move all AppleIntel* from /System/Library/Extensions, set right top conner to sleep display, move back AppleIntel* files, setup autologin, reboot and after black screen comes move mouse to that conner and move and move ... until screen wakes up.
This is a bit annoying, but better than nothing.

if this is your first time installing to this rig, don't install the video drivers during main install. wait until after you've got a working system.
when you boot with "-v" how far does the boot-up get to?
the issue sounds like a graphics problem. boot up with "-s" and then
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -Rf NVinject*
rm -Rf GeForce*
rm -Rf NVDA*
cd ..
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
reboot
now see if it boots into your system. You'll need to reinstall the graphics fix (either another inject, info.plist edit, or EFI strings).
