I have tried the latest Chameleon Build, and I've tried rBoot. But each time no matter what flags I use iAtkos loads all of the HFS files very slowly and then when it says "Starting Darwin x86" the screen just goes black/blank.

Specs:
i5 3570k
AsRock Z77 Pro 4
4GB DDR3 1333 10600 Ram
EVGA GTX 560 SuperClocked
Realtek ALC892
Realtek 8111E

Boot flags I've tried:
-v
-v -x
-v -x cpus=1 busratio=20
-v cpus=1 busratio=20
-v arch=i386 -legacy

If someone could get to the installer, it would be much appreciated!

Field Note #1 @TheRacerMaster 2012-07-30

iATKOS L2 is OS X Lion 10.7.2, which does not have Ivy Bridge. OS X Mountain Lion does have native Ivy Bridge support, so I recommend trying that instead.
