I just installed iATKOS v7 with some drivers and Chameleon v2. It boots up to chameleon fine, (although I cannot boot windows) so I select the partition I named 'Mac'. I use the verbose command to see if something goes wrong. So it boots up, going down verbose mode, and it just stops at the whole 'defaulting to biMac' thing. It gave this same message in iATKOS v5i , except it said Mac Pro (except v5i actually installed). Well, it stays there, and I am just typing things in the terminal and it just freezes, as if it was about to boot. So I wait, and it does nothing, so I am in my ubuntu USB disk thingy right now.

I will try again with no verbose, and see what it (doesn't) do.

Also what the hell happened to Windows 7?
