Hi, everyone, after some good and encouraging results with iAtkos v7 now I'm trying to install from the iAtkos S3 dvd.
I had a succesful install and then added some extra kexts, everything was going fine.

However, after applying the screen resolution patch at the next reboot it shows a gray screen for a while then a black box saying "the system needs to reboot" in several languages. I restart the system as suggested and I'm catch in a loop.

I followed the screen resolution fix as explained here:www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=173338

Any suggestion? maybe I used the wrong patch?
Thnx

The screen resolution fix reported above worked after a new install...
Now it simply works fine

TESTS THAT PASSED:
- USB generic drives
- USB Huawei HSDPA Internet key
- Screen resolution (not accelerated, needs a specific driver, maybe in the future?)
- Memory card reader
- CD/DVD read
- Ethernet (thnx 2 Raditude on the other thread, the AtherosL1cEthernet driver taken from http://code.google.com/p/iats worked fine only after install with kexthelper utility)
- USB wireless lan adapter (Zylan driver)
- Battery/Power monitor
- Power management (not sure, how to check this?)
- Bluetooth (Fn+F3 works to turn on/off...but when turning on it takes 15-20 secs to initialise. Connection to phone works, UMTS modem not tested yet)
- Audio output works (mic input to be tested)

TESTS THAT FAILED:
- Webcam (in Leopard it worked, so I'm missing some driver)
- Wireless on-board adapter (solved with an usb adapter I had unused in a drawer ) it's probable there's a driver somewhere over the rainbow...
- DVD playing (hardware not found)
- Photo boot utility (same as above)

NOT TESTED:
- Mic input / recording
-
Any suggestion or enhancements?

Awesome, I'm gonna download that now and see if I can get it working on mine.

Did you burn it to a disc or can you just mount it once you're already in the previous install of Leopard? I'm outta discs at the moment.

I'm following you guys closely, raditude, let me know if you get wifi working on either version.

Awesome dude. No WiFi yet, but this dude at Project Camphor is working on them. I tried a beta version from kexts.com, but it kernel panicked my computer, and I had to reinstall.

Anyway, I'm trying to upgrade my installation to Snow Leopard. I don't have a blank DVD, so I am trying to install from an external hard drive.

I get a kernel panic when trying to boot iAtkos S3 v2. Here's a pic of the screen:



Any help, or will I just need to shell out for a disc and burn it to DVD?

Hi Rad,
I'm checking the screenshot, will post a comment soon...

I didn't use v2, my system should be updated later. For the moment I WON'T install system updates, maybe after a full backup.

BTW I burned it to DVD and did a fresh install (the previous Leopard had a too small partition, and iAtkos DVD doesn't allow to upgrade, with Hazard it's possible, instead).
I'm following the thread with the hope that we get to solve these issues :
- wifi driver
- video acceleration (it seems that Intel GMA 4500 isn't very accelerated, I notice when the Flurry screen saver runs... )

How can I check the 2D/3D video acceleration speed? maybe installing a game?

You maybe loading some wrong kext... It seems to be related to an I/O device, also you may try to google for the symbols in the stack trace _StartIOKit, _PE_initiokit, __ZH60SKext (from the photo I'm not sure about the spelling)

Or it could refer to a unplugged/disabled (from BIOS) device... Maybe installing from external disk leads to this, I wouldn't know.

Could you tell what options you did choose for the install?

It didn't even get to the installer, it kernel panicked before I could install it.

Oh! ...any BIOS setting? I'm trying to boot it from the dvd (S3 v2) and tell what happens...

Hi Raditude, for your kernel panic try to boot in safe boot (-x) and delete all GMA kext, I have the same problem with my 5810TG ( HD 4330) and when i delete all ATI kext and reboot, it work fine
