I am trying to install iatkos s3 v2 on my amd machine.
So I made a partition in windows 7 then went and installed iatkos.
It installs fine but when I try to boot it stucks on apple logo(loading circle doesn't even appear).

Maybe I used the wrong Customize options on installation?
Can anyone tell me the correct ones for my build?

CPU AMD 965 Phenom II X4
MB MSI 790FX GD70
4GB DDR3
NVIDIA GTX 570

If anyone could help it would be great, I am trying to install it the whole day!

I also noticed this, error when running -v:

DSDT table not found DSDT.aml, or something like that.
Help please?

Field Note #1 @Unrealized 2011-08-04

Wrong kernel most likely, if it just shows the apple logo and the spinning thing doesn't appear. I think iAtkos v4a would be better for you, but I (as an AMD user), use Retail OS X disc with a Boot CD. For a good guide google 10.6.5 guide.
