I installed iATKOS v7 10.5.7, install went fine, but when I boot it won't get past apple logo screen, I get screen like this:

When I use -v I get: "Still waiting for root device" and Extension "com.apple.driver.iTunesPhoneDriver" has no explicit kernel dependency; using version 6.0.

I'm using 9.7.0 Voodoo kernel.

I have tried: cpus=1, -f, -x, rd=disk0 and rd=disk1 but none of them helped.

I was wondering maybe Apple's original kernel would be better ? And I saw that most people are using Kalyway - is it better ?

Info about my laptop:

Processor: Intel® Pentium Dual Core Processor T3400 (2.16GHz / 667MHz / 1MB)
Main Chipset: Intel GM45 + ICH9M
Graphics: Intel GMA X4500 (Int. Graphic)

EDIT: I got it working, by enabling ACHI mode
