Set to S3 Execute Bit Support = enabled, HPET = enabled.

So when I do your install (I can't get iPC 10.5.8 its nowhere to be found ) iAtkos v7 does not boot up after install and seems to panic at kernel loading on startup. I had much more success w/ XxX osx 10.5.6 I installed onto a SATA 2.5" It startsup but is very unstable, I'm using it as a platform to do my installs as you describe in the turtorial for 10.6 to ultimately have 10.6 on a SATA 3.5" 1.5Tb. (the 3.5" is in SATA1 and the 2.5" in the SATA2). I put into the com.apple.Boot.plist flags for

This is my setup:

Mobo: MSI x58 Platinum SLI
Processor: Core i7 920 2.6ghz
RAM: 6 Gb A DATA 1333mhz
Optical Drive: removable USB DVDROM
HD1: Seagate 1.5Tb SATA
HD2: Hitachi 160Gb SATA (2.5")
Video Card: Visiontek Radeon HD 4890 OC 1Gb

I sometimes get (and its seems random) that the BIOS doesn't want to load and the whole machine gets stuck before the hardware test... but, when I move the SATA cables from SATA1&2 to SATA7&8 BIOS starts up again... I switch back and it operates normally again! Don't know what that may mean... Is there something I'm installing that I shouldn't in iAtkos v7? what were you exact selections with iAtkos 7? Am I installing Chameleon wrong?

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanx
