REWARD offered - iAtkos 10.5.7 Installation Help
Hi guys,
I am relatively new to the osx86 scene, have downloaded and attempted to install iAtkos v7 however I ran into some issues. There is a reward for anyone that helps me and their help results in me being able to properly run osx on my computer. The reward can be either: a few dollars via an ecurrency site (alertpay, or moneybookers - from my own account) share my rapidshare premium account. Firstly, my aim is to: Install OSX 10.5.7 with a dual boot with Vista SP2 (my vista is activated using another method :P) What happened: I selected the things I thought would be related (if someone can provide me with a screenshot of all the options I can say which ones I chose) I installed to another partition (Formatted to the correct type - Extended Journalled) I wasnt at the computer, when this happened, but previously the install bar had moved a few cms, then it was stuck and still moving, then it stopped moving but I believe my computer was still active as the red light on my case was still flashing Then I saw the computer restart out of the corner of my eye, it came back to a screen like when the disk first loads, it was a grey screen with a NON shiny/3d apple logo, with no loading circle, and it got stuck on this. I restarted the computer and booted into osx, then i saw a grey screen WITH a shiny/3d apple logo, again no loading circle i think. Obviously I have fixed my vista boot and am currently running from that. My Specs (do you need vendor and device ids?): Custom computer ASUS M2N-MX SE Motherboard ECS Elitegroup NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT Graphics Card AMD 64 X2 4000+ Cpu (x64, im running vista x86 though) 1GB DDR2 Ram DVD RW Burner Netgear WG311v3 Wireless Adapter I am generally proficient with using computers, so you can certainly assume a good knowledge of windows. I can code some vb6, and am looking at learning xcode. So please, try to help me out an earn a reward Thank you to everyone who helps, and the osx86 community. |

If I understood you right, you restored the Windoze MBR? If so the easyest way, would be to install Chameleon, by booting the iAtkos DVD again and selecting it from the drop'down menu above, so you should be able to boot both systems and to try out what Undead Surfer saied.

Thank you both
I have 2 hard drives, a wd and a samsung (both 160gb satas). Vista and Mac are on the wd, the samsung is for my data. Ahci - not sure MBR I believe I have now set OSX to the active partition, and am using chameleon 2 to load vista which works. (how can i set vista as the default boot option for chameleon?) The error when I try to startup my install is http://www.bilderhoster.net/safeforbilder/7n6axhnl.png Could you show me what to select using the above image? |

Maybe you have been using a faulty DVD? As I understood you, you haven't been sure if the install finished properly? (Sorry my English isn't he best.) I recommend to burn it again at some slower speed, maybe that will give you a better result... If you have a *nix running you may also check the md5 checksum of you DVD after burning it. Second idea: As I guess we can't make it more broken as it is. I would try to delete the file you are getting stuck on. This is how you do: Boot from the DVD, open up Terminal enter the following: mount -uw /Volumes/<name> rm -R -f /Volumes/<name>/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooPS2Controller.kext rm -R -f /Volumes/<name>/System/Library/Extensions.mkext Replace <name> with the one you gave your Partition. When you are finished reboot and try again. Quote:

Ok just had an attempt to reinstall.
The install seemed to go ok, it restarted, (bit strange, the bios screen flashed up then it restarted again), then it got to the press key to boot from cd (I didnt obviously), then it went to the apple screen with the loading circle, exactly the same as the one when you load the cd. I left it for like 30 mins, however it didnt work. edit(before I posted this): I rebooted in -v to take some pics of the errors, there were lots of errors, but then it worked!!!! Thanks very much! If you need a rapidshare, I might be able to share one with you, but the guy who actually helped me get it working was Pere, the site admin from uphuck.ggrn.de Now my questions are (you will definately get a rs/money if you can help me get the wireless working!) how can I fix the errors I received during the boot: do i need the ntfs driver to use my other partitions (im guessing yes :P) how can i make it so that i can write on my ntfs drives? i installed the ntfs driver (I think, not sure) and I can only read, not write is it possible to get my Netgear WG311v3 wireless adapter (uses marvell chipset) working? I downloaded a Mac Driver from here :O --> and i installed that, however Im not sure how to set up the adapter. In network prefs, im completely confused, and in applications theres a netgear wlan wizard however when i run that it just flashes in the tray and exits. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2640 Also, i tried changing the default boot os in chameleon 2, by adding <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(2,1)</string> into boot.plist, it replaced the file ok however there was no change, leopard was still the default. I added that code into the end of the tabbed code, so it went with the other boot settings, and not directly at the end of the file, i think it was right. How can i fix that? Thanks |

Congratulation.

This doesn't look like error messages, more like kinds of status and debug messages, wich show up often. Do you have any problems onto one of them? Like having to wait for a long time? If not just ignore them. Quote:

Check by entering "man ntfs-3g" if the man page is not present, insert the iAtkos v7 DVD, open Terminal and hit the following command: Code:
open /Volumes/*v7/System/Installation/Packages/NTFS-3G.pkg Quote:
Anyway I found another solution at the german language sector of another forum: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...hp/t67579.html According to that this card should work natively as Airport Card with using kext File form 10.4 Get this one 1. Backup your old version of that file, you find it in /System/Library/Extensions - just copy it somewhere else. 2. Install the new one using Kexthelper: http://www.cheetha.net/Kext_Helper/Software.html If it doesn't work try to disable onboard LAN, if it doesn't work either, you may have to edit you Manufacturar ID and Device ID into the Info.plist of the kext file. I hope this will work for you. Quote:

Thanks
Yeh the debug messages dont matter, i was just a little worried with this one: http://img190.imageshack.us/i/dsc00401tza.jpg/ However, I reinstalled using these drivers: Code:
Main System Chameleon v2 /Extra DSDT AppleDecrypt SMBIOS Enabler 9.7.0 Kernel Disabler NVEnabler nForce Sata/IDE VoodooHDA Voodoo PS/2 NTFS-3G nForce Ethernet Post-Install Actions Also, i made sure i ticked the ntfs driver, and now read and write works, thanks I think its just the netgear tool, however ill check other programs after a restart and ill post here if they have problems. No, no error message shows. Regarding the wg311, that forum link is regarding the wg311T i believe, which sadly does not use the same chipset as the wg311v3, thanks though. Some new issues I discovered (still present in previous install) sleep doesnt work, it just instantly wakes up when shutting down, there is a delay when everything seems off, except the hard drive is still on and the green light on my pc is on. this goes for about 15 seconds. not a major problem, but if there is an easy fix it would be nice. Thanks again, and my biggest props to you guys, and the osx86 and iatkos teams. You guys rock |

If you don't want to use KextHelper you can make use of the pkg from the DVD as I descripted above: Code:
open /Volumes/*v7/System/Installation/Packages/ohr.pkg And I also used to edit the last lines of my last posting, I hope that's usefull on making Windoze the first OS in Chameleon. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
