I am having a problem.

I downloaded iAtkos v7, then burnt it to a DVD-R.
But when I start up the computer, and press a key, when it says PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM THE CD-DRIVE.

The screen goes black, and the computer restarts, and again the same thing. It's like a loop.

So, does anyone know, how to fix this.

(I burnt both types, first time x16, x4 2nd time. Still not working.

I did cpus=1

It worked, but when the apple logo came up, it just loaded the whole time, and nothing happened.
How much time is it supposed to take ? Is there anything I can do ?

Field Note #1 @punk_zappa 2009-10-08

Post your setup.

When asked, press 8 and type -v cpus=1 if you are using a dual or quad core.

Field Note #3 @punk_zappa 2009-10-21

Is there an AHCI option in your BIOS? If there is, set to AHCI and try again. If there is none and only IDE you can try iDeneb v1.5.
