iATKOS S3 released :)

@ErigzThat's nice Support for AMD isn't mentioned on their forum (it says "iATKOS S3 Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Intel DVD"), but since the installer has option for qoopz kernel and VIA SATA, I guess it should also work for AMD. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks for the info

if you read through the release notes, you will se that even though they include the kernel, the dvd is NOT compatible with AMD...

That's nice

Successful install here, on AMD Phenom II x4
I guess it means, that it's compatible with AMD, doesn't it ?

I just installed this successfully on my MSI u100 (27ae graphic) laptop, but cant get high res, need drivers/kext for this gma450 . the ones by andy didnt work. anyone got this to work?

the kernel is 10.3 and its 10.6.3 installation. will the 27AE script work?

Installed fine by the way and working...

See sig...

@ AMD guys.. first what was the writing speed 4x? What you guys have choosen as kernel and so on (not the graphics i know ;D ) and the hdd setting please...i have a phenom x4 too

Sort of Successful AMD Phenom II x4

I too was able to install iATKOS S3 on my phenom II x4 rig but upon boot I reach a certain point and bang, restart. "-v -x" gets me a little ways and without it restarts almost immediately. Adding "busratio=17" also doesn't seem to vary the outcome at all.

I am new to this so I am not sure why it is happening. I didn't choose a different kernel, perhaps I should have? What parameters did you boot the install DVD with and then after install what if any did you use?

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H
Phenom II x4 965
80 gig Sata drive for OSX with MBR Partition table.
ATI HD6850 (works with 10.5.4 and no kext)

i can remember adding

-v arch=i386 busratio=20 fsb=20000000 made mine boot after install on IATKOS

and im on a Phenom x4 955/ MA770 UD3 /8 GIG RAM /HD5770 Gigaybte

@akimoai can remember adding -v arch=i386 busratio=20 fsb=20000000 made mine boot after install on IATKOS and im on a Phenom x4 955/ MA770 UD3 /8 GIG RAM /HD5770 Gigaybte

Worth a shot, thanks.

Update: No go with those flags or seemingly any combo that I have found in multiple forums. It may be the HD 6850, but at least I should be able to run in VESA as I am in 10.5.8 right now. I tried different kernels/distros, but I always get the restart (for iAtkos v7 and iDeneb 1.6 too).

Do you remember your choices at installation (akimoa)? I may mess around trying again in Virtualbox to see if I can find the correct config.

Installation error

i have been experiencing troubles for install it since 2 months ago and I have tried already install it 3 times, downloading the same file 3 times already.

Not that Im complaining, just clarify before someone think I haven`t tried enough.

Curiously the 3 times I already downloaded the file and burned it / mounted in a external HD, I always got "0 bytes" on the "customize" menu.

When I install it directly from 10.5.8, around the 80-90% the installation quit and the system reboot without any change made.

My experience with booting the installation before the system runs (from a DVD or external Drive) is almost the same, just that in the end it show error on the installation and there is no other option other than quit and reboot, yet the system do not suffer any kind of change.

Any clue?

Things I am aware and I have done:
- Burn the image at 1x
- My internal drive is GUID and journaled.
- The MD5 match with the text file included in the install files.
- I have verified the image and it is not damaged and the file size match with the described before download it.
- Downloaded using transmission and utorrent, I verified the file before burn or mount to see if there is some bytes missing, and the downloads looks perfectly.
:'(

My laptop is a XPS M1210 running 10.5.8, everything works.
