Hey, ive tried to install iAtkos on my PC but i havnt even managed to be able to get to the Apple logo yet. It will either restart after i try to boot it or if i put some options in it will state that it is 'Still waiting for boot Device'.

Spec :
Mobo : GA-P55A-UD3
CPU : Intel Core i5 750
RAM : 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
Graphics Card : Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT

I currently have 2 SATA HDDs one seems to be stuck on IDE channel 0 as a slave and the other is on IDE channel 1 as a master.

At the moment i have tried using the following startup commands (if i dont include busratio=20 it will restart no matter what else i have) :

-v busratio=20 -x -f cpus=4 (causes it the computer to freeze)
-v busratio=20 -x -f platform=ACPI (causes Still waiting for Boot Device)
-v busratio=20 -x -f platform=X86PC (causes Still waiting for Boot Device)
-v busratio=20 -x -f rd=disk1s1 (causes Still waiting for Boot Device)

Here are 2 pictures which show the problem :
