Релиз дистрибутива iATKOS v7 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 для процессоров Intel и AMD)

@nilesh123jainThanks for the great work... Installed iAtkos...installation was very smooth. But after that it doesn't boot…it shows a blank screen with a binking cursor. System Hardware is Intel Core 2 Dou 2.2 ghz Intel 945 gcnl motherboard. 160 gb seagate sata hard disk. There is no graphics card...i think it will have in built in it.

Try booting with -x first, and follow the initial setup, that worked for me, although I didn't had the Welcome-Video played

The only destro I could successfuly install. I have an MSI P55-GD80 socket1153,8GB 1600 MHZ, i5 750 CPU (OC to 4GHZ, and aGTX260, if anyone has a P55 motherboard you can ask and I will post a walkthrough of installation and bios changes I had to do, I assume this will work with anyP55 mobo. some things do not work thou, like MIC and 7.1 channel, time machines. I was able to update to 10.5.8 through software update, I did a complet update to everything, itunes, quicktime etc. then I used the iAKTOS v7 dvd reinstlled drivers andpatches only, and working perfect. this V7 is a well done job.

I am just trying to find out if my system is compatible before I even attempt to wipe and install V7

Anyone? Have any advice?

It's my first post, so hello to everybody.

I have one problem which bothers me for a long time. I installed iPhone sdk with xcode included, because i'd like to write some mobile apps. The problem is, that i can't open library window in the interface builder. Reinstalling xcode or complete MacOs didn't help. On my macbook i can normally build UI, but on my hackintosh (which is my desktop computer) i can't.

The xcode from original Leopard dvd, without iphone sdk also doesn't work. I think that iAtkos v2 is the one which doesn't allow me to use xcode propperly, because if i install 10.5.2 (kalyway) it works ok, but iPhone sdk requires at least 10.5.7.

Thanks, bye

I have tried to create a virtual machine using iAtkos v7 with VMware but everytime I try and boot from the ISO image I get the following error

System config file '/com.apple.Boot.Slist' not found

Also in the risk of sounding stupid what is a MD5 Checksum and how do you do one ?

md5sum

An MD5Sum is a digital "fingerprint" that identifies a file. If you're download was no good then the hash wouldn't match. Most OS have MD5 check methods built in except windows. There is a concise walkthrough on the ubuntu.com page. Just search MD5. If you need a Windows based check, search for MD5Sum. Top result should be a link to Nullriver Software. There is a free simple checksum at that link.

Even if your check is good, you could still have a bad burn. I had this with my first install attempt and ended up being my burner. Even burning at the lowest speed resulted in errors. Assume there was something wrong with the calibration of the drive, but long story short, burn finished good, install failed, new drive, new burn, good install.

Sorry I can't help you with you're VMWare problem.

Successful installation...

I have a successful installation since the time of its release (iAtkos V7). This is the most stable distro I have tried. Works out of the box. You can check my sig for my rig. It's a 12" notebook, I mean the crappiest ever on China market.

It runs stable and I have updated to 10.5.8 thru Apple Software Update, it was painless. Been up and running for more than 6 months already, installed lots of apple software, and it's running quite well.

Have done my dsdt patch already so I have removed some of the unnecessary kext. Sleep works well, got QE/CI. Upgraded the RAM, replaced the intel WLan to Broadcom 4311 to be more "airport compatible"(lots of these in my place at less than 10USD each), then next would be an SSD drive and a processor upgrade. Feels like "Mac", runs like "Mac".

iAtkos V7, awesome distro for Leopard.

Thumbs up to the team who made it possible.

Smooth install once i got the correct drivers via the config. updated to 10.5.8...ty

no sound yet.. but will figure this out soon.

Trouble Installing on AMD

This is my first go at a Mac so please bare with me. Wanted to see how a mac works before i decide on buying one.

Downloaded the iATKOS v7 and burnt to a DVD. Created a new virtual machine with 1 gb ram, 80 hard drive space and ran the install. after the install the screen was stuck at the gray screen with the apple.
Did a reset on the virtual machine and went to boot single user. then it got stuck at some point (screen snap attached). Following is my computer setup:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
Total RAM: 4 GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5750 1GB

Any advice is very much appreciated

Normal Bootup stuck point:
Single User stuck point:

Easy install on Acer Extensa 4620z

Just a quick note to mention this, as I've found surprisingly few references to my laptop when searching around. Anyhow, installed this distro pretty much on all default settings, plus a couple of drivers. A stark contrast to the latest Hazard and CCLloyd releases which I've tried in the past few days.

So far, I have to say, iATKOS seems the most mature distro to me. I've now tried installing just about every OSx86 release on two desktops (both self-built, i7 and AMD Phenom) and I remember getting close to success only with iATKOS on those as well. This time, it was just night and day:

Created an 8Gb partition (just to try, didn't even expect it to work, will make larger in the future of course)

Picked a couple of drivers that seemed to make sense to me (Voodoo EFI graphics, PS/2 with touchpad, broadcom wifi, realtek audio) and let it rip. It was getting close to finishing when the screen went black and the machine rebooted.

Well, I thought something went wrong, so I erased the partition and tried again with all default and no drivers. Same thing happened, except this time I actually ejected the DVD and booted from my new Mac partition, and saw the welcome messages fly. Alas, since I didn't choose any drivers at install, I had no keyboard

Rebooted, installed JUST the drivers this time and voila - EVERYTHING seems to be running just fine, it picked up my wifi right away, sound was playing and my touchpad is recognized. I haven't tested the webcam or card reader, but I never really use them on my PC anyway, am sure something could be done about them as well if necessary.

Now, I'd really only like to know how to update it to Snow. Anybody with a quick and easy answer?

My only problem is it can't boot with my onboard Intel Graphics.
But i have an NVIDIA 7100GS. And i have to say this is the best distro ever!

booting issues

i have a dell xps 400

sys specs are as follows

Chipset - Intel 945P chipset

Precessor - Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80Ghz 2.79Ghz (thats what windows says it is)

SECOND TRY - i pulled all my HDD and installed a fresh one for a single boot of iATKOS got it installed with no problems restarted computer got it to boot up to the screen where the lizard is on the top of the screen and you can choose what type of boot you want and i tried all of them and got as far as the Grey apple screen flashes and then it restarts so once again im stuck..

Thank you lovely people

Many guys told me that this is my best shot for having Mac on PC - I've never used Mac but i developed Windows Mobile apps and now would like to do IPhone programming.

I cannot afford a Mac so want to try out hackintosh - I've bought an external harddrive of 300 GB to have Mac installed on it. Possible right? So that I effect my current PC windows xp in no way.

I have Pentinum 4 (R) ThinkCentre 8113D5U 3 GB Ram and around 500 GB HD in PC now. Will that support? is it possible to install hackintosh on this PC?

If it is possible, then anyone who've tried this in easy language how to do this? as am a programmer, web developer but I suck at installing such hardware challenging programs.

Can anyone help please?

to start of, im totally new to this. i got a macbook and a stationary windows computer and just sick of windows so i thought id try this before saving up for a macmini or something.

the problem:
ive downloaded iAKTOS v7, burned it to a dvd in 2x speed to make sure it burns properly.
when i reboot and boot from the dvd the gray apple screen pops up for about half a sec then my computer restarts.

my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Ram: 4096MB RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3850

is this thread alive? no one is answering questions...

sorry to hijack the thread here but any hope this could get hackintoshed?

thanks for looking...

I found this forum while searching google for way to install OSX on my Intel based PC, I was hoping maybe someone could help me out with a problem i am facing. I do not want to dual boot Win 7 and OSX I only want OSX on my PC.

I am downloading this iATKOS v7 as I type this.

Here are my system specs:
Current OS Win 7 Ult 64Bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz
Gateway Godzilla-M10 Mainboard (Chipset Intel - PM45, Southbrifge Intel - 8280 1IM(ICH9-M))
4Gb DDR3 Dual Channel 533 MHz
NVIDIA GeForese GTX 260M (1Gb GDDR3)
HDD 1
500Gb SATA 3.0
HDD 2
500Gb SATA 3.0

How do I install this OSX on my laptop when im running a 1Tb raid?

For all of those who got stuck on waiting for root device, make sure to check all appropriate SATA kexts during customize. For instance, AHCI, VIA, ATI or any relevant kexts. Another way is to simply install on a USB hard-drive.

If the problem is choppy sound, try booting using the flag idlehald=0. If sound doesn't work even when seemingly proper kext and version is selected, make sure to have removed all other sound kexts first, and to have cleared kext cache and set kext permissions afterwards -- a useful tool in doing so is osx86tools.

I hope this helps anyone.

P.S

Perfect install (dvd runs smoothly when use cpus=1 or mach_970). Perfect run/sound/video, but no big desktop -- only clone mode. AMD Athlon X2/Ati Radeon X1250/ALC 268

Suitable drivers

Could you please suggest me the suitable driver for my Laptop and PC configuration. I have tried couple of other version of Snow Leopard (not by iAtkos), but not able to boot them after installation. I find iAtkos v7 more promising then others but don't want to mess up like I did with the other versions. So make a correct driver selection.

Trying to install

I can't seem to get the OSX installer to actually boot up, as soon as the apple logo pops up the computer crashes and reboots, I've been trying different bios settings but nothing seems to work, any tips would be awesome.

Running Intel i7 with ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard and an Nvidia 8800, i've tried all sorts of methods to install but nothing seems to work. Emprie EFI, iATKOS, plain darwin with OSX DVD. I got nothing here

Stuck

Alright so I tried installing it on an old HP Pavillion. Installed with the default options. It boots to a graphical screen saying that the system is loading and then goes to a white screen with an Apple on it and just sits there. Obviously it's a hang or freeze of some sort.

I would've dual booted on my new build (AMD Phenom II X6) but it always has kernal panics (used the same settings on the HP as my custom build and my HP got farther than my custom build with no panics).

What exactly should I do to fix this?

Specs (for the Pavillion)

Pentium 4 1.8 GHz
1 GB Kingston HyperX Memory (x2 512 MB Sticks)
80 GB PATA HDD
CD/DVD-ROM
CD-ROM
AGP Graphics Card (of what kind, idk)

Freezing on startup

i have installed this on my pc and it said installation completed succesfully but when booting it doesnt start. there is a stop sign present on the apple logo

Thats the same problem I am running into. I am trying to dual boot my laptop with windows 7 and iatkos v7 but i cant seem to boot after the installation is complete. I heard you have to install chameleon bootloader but i dont understand when to do that or even how to do that.

Anyone familiar with that process. I have windows 7 right now and have another partition erased for iatkos.

first i have one hdd ata. and i successful install and run osx on my pc
but

i try to install on old hdd but same error,only when i disconnect my new hard system can start
how can i solve this sata ata problem?

Cannot start OS after install

I ran the installation and it said the installation was successful and then my PC restarted and I got this:

try booting with -v -f it rebuilds caches may or may not work. if that doesnt do it try booting -x thats safe mode.

i also have iATKOS v7 on my PC but i have a problem. The problem is that when i update the software from v10.5.7 to v10.5.8 using the system update it turns on goes to the apple screen with the loading circle underneath then it reboots then it goes back to the same place and just stays there and doesnt go any where else. Is this normal ?

How dow you do an Archive and Install when an update fails? I have a working OS but a KP I cant get rid of since the update failed Dont wanna trash it

where to download latest version cause

I am a bit new here . I just downloaded iATKOS v7 trough bitorrent and when I tried to boot it by AMD X2 3300 CPU (64Bit) I got problem

there is an error regarding VOODOO rtclock_init panic (looks like Realtime clock…)
Darwin kernel is version 9.5.0
if I am using wrong version or incorrect Dvd image has downloaded , will you to know where to download latest version that you expect that will work !?

@Jaymie1989I ran the installation and it said the installation was successful and then my PC restarted and I got this:

Has anyone solved this issue yet? I get the exact same screen! HELP!

I installed IatkOS V7 and it installed correctly. The only problem I have is I'm unable to make the keyboard and mouse work, I have both in USB. I tried many different drivers ( in the customize menu in the Installer) but no one worked. I've tried also a PS2 keyboard, the lights on the kb are one but it's not working.

Anyone can help me ?

could you please tell me if iAtkos v7 would work on the following computer (I'm relatively new to this forum and also iAtkos so please excuse any lack of knowledge or any posts in the wrong section.

MBR or GPT formatting

I'm not very competant with computers and have arrived at the problem of formatting my HD.

I understand the HD must be formatted as either MBR or GPT, however, I had intended on installing iAtkos in a partition so that I may keep Windows 7 on my Dell Vostro 1015 laptop but I am informed that it is not possible to format a single partition as MBR/GPT and that you must format the whole HD.

I do not wish to do this, is there any way I can install iAtkos whilst keeping Windows 7 without having to format the whole HD?

guys

help

Is there any serial key required to install it ? can i install the windows softwares (.exe.) files or i have to download the original softwares of MAC (.dmg) file.?
