and so on and so forth a bunch of different combos....anyone stuck in the same place or got past it and can give me a tip?


my comp specs are

i7 @ 2.67ghz, asus p6t mobo, 4 gigs ddr3 ram, geforce 9800 gt, and 2 500 gig hdds..I run windows 7

Ive been working with this for about a week now. when I first partitioned C and installed iAtkos it looked like it installed (like it always does) ok but when the system restarted itself and booted chameleon it didnt work..I tried booting up windows again but it crashed and I had to reinstall...

I need help Plz!!!

I have a similar setup - i7 @ 2.67ghz, P6T, 12GB RAM, GeForce 9600GT, VMWARE WS 6.5.3. But I run Ubuntu x64 as my host OS.

I managed to get my VM working as follows:

"-v cpus=1 busratio=20" after the CD bootloader pops up.

Similar custom install to the OP, except I used Voodoo 9.5 (9.7 did not work for me at all)

After the install and at the first reboot, same "-v cpus=1 busratio=20" and I got in. And the sound kext mentioned by the OP also worked for me, after-the-fact. I haven't gone any farther yet, but so far it's functional.

Just changed to voodoo 9.5 kernel and everything works like a charm. Thanks Kailm

problem getting into setup with aitkos v7
 
first of all hi and thanks for the geuide...
but i have a big problem doing so cause i doesn't even get to that point.
i set up my virtual machine and start it, push any button to get into setup, and then i fairly can see the apple and then... restart.
so what's wrong or what have i done wrong?
aitkos v5 workes fine with the same options.

also tried it directly from my pc's bios, no problems there at all...

my specs:
Core2Duo E6600
ASUS P5Bdeluxe Wifi/ap
2Gb Ram 800Mhz
VGA ATi X1800XT
Os Win7 Prof.

made it to finish setup but i cant start after the install,
when i hit F8 after installing booting with parameters it starts from the cd again if i hit nothing it boots from hdd (i think) but i get an error. cause i cant set any parameters.
when i disable the Iso in the VM i get an error "operating system not found - so what should i do now?

made it...
 
got it to work,starting with another method by using the darwin.iso.

but now my VM runs with a retail Snow Leopard :D
using boot-123 procedure...
audio works perfectly, even system update via apple servers...

I also managed to complete the installation of iatkos v7 in vmware but the installed system refuses to boot throwing this error: Operation system not found.

Can you provide details of this other method that made it work?
I also came across reference to darwin.iso in another forum but the download link was broken. Where did you download it form?

my computer speks are
AMD 6000+
