I have a copy of iATKOS v7 as well as Kalyway. I have tried installing both. Kalyway always hangs on "still waiting on root device". iATKOS makes it through the setup screen and begins the install, but then errors out and will not continue the install. Here is a list of my hardware, as well as a screen shot from what happens when I'm installing iATKOS v7.

Hardware:

Processor: Intel E2180 Core 2 Duo @ 2.00 GHz
Mobo: Asus P5Q3 Deluxe
RAM: Patriot Viper Series PC3-12800, 1600 MHz, 4GB
Video: NVidia GeForce 7300SE

Really needing some help here. I've tried installing with just -v, as well as with cpus=1 busratio=20 -v and neither work.

You can email me directly at [email protected] if need be.

Ok, so....

I got it to install finally by adding maxmem=3072. Now it will boot up, and when I select OSX, it goes to the apple load screen and sit there, and finally a circle with a slash through it comes up. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help.
