I'm total noob in this area
Firstly I tried ideneb and with that I couldn't even reached welcome screen..
Now I'm trying iATKOS v7
I have set sata controller to ACPI also some power mangement to ACPI too in BIOS
using -v -x platform=ACPI cpus=1 I've at least reached to welcome screen
But the problem is that I'm not able to format any of my partition to HFS+ in disk utility...None of any drive is mounted...even it's not able to mount them...
I tried everything possible and known to me
updated MBR using fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0
used many bash commands like diskutil eraseVolume +HFS leo /dev/disk0s4 without success its saying that failed to mount
even before welcome screen these error occurs
localhost kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation
along with all partitions unable to mount syntax etc

So the problem is that It's not able to mount any partition.
whats the actual problem? How It can be resolved?
