I suppose you mean the driver selection menu during the installation.

Unfortunately I don't know the iATKOS image, nor do I have an Intel system or nVidia card.

Try searching in the forum, look in the signatures if anyone has a similar (or at least an Intel) system working. You also can take a look in insanelymac.

I did a bit research and I found out that I know why I hate Intel. The manual of the board is $%/&$$?!! in comparison to the Asus manuals so I'm listing some more things than neccessary.

Kernel: 9.5.0 Voodoo XNU
Chipset: Intel 946 Series
Audio: Sigmatel STAX9227 or ADI1998A (Bridge: Intel 82801GB ICH7)
LAN: Intel 82562GX (Bridge: Intel 82801GB ICH7)
Graphics: Try a version of NVinject and something what matches your nVidia 8xxx graphics card series

If available:

AppleSMBIOS: A version which matches your system, normally DDR2 667 MHz
PS/2 Patch: If you're using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
Verbose mode: You get informative output during boot, useful for finding errors.

I don't know of the last three things are available in the image, but they are in the most common images.

i think i have a similar chipset to yours, so, i installed already, with iatkos 5i, have to say that never worked out.
Finally used Kaliway 10.5.1 and update to 10.5.6, using comboupdate and some prerequisites.

but i tried kaliway. take a look at this thread install fine but..., and

For the bootloader, i selected PC_EFI v9, for SMBIOS, i checked all enablers
For kernel u can try to select Voodoo, after that u can install other if u like.

for ACPI, i selected x86ACPI (as u can see in the post) but now i think, u could stay with stock ACPI from the package, so try selecting none.

Select Disabler.kext, AppleDecrypt.kext, OHR

and nothing else, i can advice u select all that u strictly need.

This i know:

Quote:

USB keyboard and PS2 mouse(during installation process,I navigate using the keyboard only as the mouse doesn't work).

for this select

Quote:

PS/2: Driver for PS/2 keyboard/mouse. You will need to modify the Info.plist of ACPIPS2Nub.kext for the update's ACPI version before applying main system update, otherwise your ps2 mouse/keboard will not work. For upgradable systems, I advice you to use x86 ACPI driver instead of this.

from iatkos.wikidot.com.

Besides this i can recommend, no select any graphics or care about sound, u can adjust that later.

any other thing i can help...u can PM me
