I downloaded iAtkos v7 to try it out on my brand new PC.
Upon loading the CD and restarting, I get to the "Press any key". I press any key, it start to load the installer, and when the white screen is supposed to come up, my pc restarts.
I tried iAtkos v5, v6, iPC, iDeneb with no luck.
What seems to be the problem?
My specs are:
CPU: C2D E8400 3.0GHz, 1333FSB, 6MB Chache
VGA: Sapphire ATI Radeon 4870 1GB GDDR5
MB: MSI Neo-F P43
HDD: Hitachi 250GB, 8MB
RAM: 2x2GB Transcend @800MHz
PSU: Chieftec 370W Real Power PSU
I fear the motherboard is not supported...

There are 2 entries with "Loading HFS+..."
Then 1 with "Loading Driver..."
And again 2 with "Loading HFS+..."
Then for a millisecond a "Starting D(ariwne I think)…" appears and it restarts.
I have yet to try mine, but the installer starts now Tnx a million.
As for your problem, I found this link, there are a couple of solutions on the bottom, try them out.

Try removing it (the cable), and Booting. Put the kexts on a USB and install them in the OS if it boots, and then re-connect it...
ps. I got trough the installation, just to get a Waiting for boot device error...
I found a tutorial on how to edit the DVD and make it work, but it needs to be done ON A MAC (that's just crazy).
Maybe if I get it in a VM, I may be able to fix it...

start with -v and you can see what happen on your system or with -x -v
After searching through the forums I thought I should not start a new thread but post here. I get exactly the same problem, it gets to starting darwin and my PC just restarts.
It happens with iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal PPF5 Final.
I have:
cpu - intel core 2 duo e4600,
mb - foxconn g33m-s (chipset: intel g33, southbridge 82801IR (ICH9R))
2048MB DDR
integrated graphics as the above mentioned mb chipset says,
two sata hdds
Hope this serves enough to get some help, if not, please tell me where to look for.
OK, I tried with
cpus=1
and it is not restarting any more, but it hangs on "waiting for boot volume with UUID … "
SATA mode is set to IDE, I guess this distibution needs extra drivers and I have found those for IHC9R, yet i do not know what to do with those. Should I add those to my .iso or what?
ye, after F8 type it in and it should get past the first problem...
So it means the IDE DVD-ROM is the one being waited for, does anyone know what now?
I obtained IHC9R kexts, and i guess i could use it if i already had a working os. Help the noob?
