| Triple Boot Win7, Ubuntu 9.10 iATKOS I installed Ubuntu Karmic on a reformatted HD. Then I installed Win7, and used EasyBCD to add linux to the windows bootloader. So I get the winload.exe bootloader when I turn on my machine. I have successfully installed iATKOS v5i on a… | Leopard 10.5 | 12,994 reads 2010-02-20 · 11 notes |
| Preparing usb drive no mac I read this article on how to prepare a usb drive with a retail snow leopard disc. Problem is, it needs a MAC. Which defeats the entire hackintosh purpose, right? I have a functional 10.5.7 iAtkos disc that maybe can work like windows… | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 10,312 reads 2010-05-26 · 6 notes |
| IRQNoFlags In Snow Leopard (iATKOS S3), my BIOS keeps getting reset due to a DSDT error. I opened mine with DSDTSE, and under RTC I have: Device (RTC0) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00")) Name (CRS0, ResourceTemplate { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range… | 10.X Core | 9,905 reads 2010-11-20 · 1 notes |
| Ethernet stops working So I finally got ethernet working on iATKOS L2 (I have an NVIDIA nForce ethernet card) by using kexts from iATKOS S3. It worked well... for 60 seconds. After that, it just stopped loading web pages (the loading bar gets 1/8 of the way, and… | Lion – Catalina | 7,722 reads 2012-04-04 · 9 notes |
| Use VM to make bootable snow leopard I have pcwiz's leopard vm running, and I have a snow leopard retail disc that came with an imac. I am wondering what to do after downloading chameleon on the vm. I have an 8gb usb flash drive and a few dvds. Plus the SnowLeo disc. I also… | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 4,291 reads 2010-04-12 · 1 notes |
| iATKOS corrupts Windows 7 I just installed iATKOS v7 with windows 7 installed before. It was the only partition on the disk besides free space. So I installed it and cannot get it to boot (I think I have to disconnect the USB devices). I booted from windows and get… | Leopard 10.5 | 3,978 reads 2010-03-31 · 2 notes |
| iAtkos boot pauses I just installed iATKOS v7 with some drivers and Chameleon v2. It boots up to chameleon fine, (although I cannot boot windows) so I select the partition I named 'Mac'. I use the verbose command to see if something goes wrong. So it boots… | Leopard 10.5 | 3,199 reads 2010-03-31 · 3 notes |
| VMWare iATKOS kernel panic I will probably regret wasting my time here, but here goes: ---- I am now trying to install iATKOS 5i on VMWare workstation 7. Since using my dvd makes the installer freeze and won't let me eject the disc, I am using my image in Dæmon… | Leopard 10.5 | 3,144 reads 2010-02-07 · 2 notes |

| iATKOS v7 ideas I just opened a port on my router and it did not kill my connection to download iATKOS v7 Intel and AMD. Anyway, I am in a multiboot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 (Frankly, I could lose Ubuntu; I don't use it.) My partitions look like… | Leopard 10.5 | 2,736 reads 2010-03-29 · 1 notes |

|---|---|---|
| Triple Boot Win7, Ubuntu 9.10 iATKOS “So when I install, I can access Ubuntu+Windows? Then I use EasyBCD to add MacOS to the windows bootloader + make Windows partition active? And if this creates a partition with just chameleon, can it be logical?” | Leopard 10.5 | 2010-02-24 12,994 dossier reads |
| Triple Boot Win7, Ubuntu 9.10 iATKOS “Yes, cause PC-EFI creates another partition. Anyway, here's my partition map (thats what windows said) Disk0: Master Boot Record Partition1: NTFS, Windows 7, Primary, Active Partition2: Ext4, Linux, Primary Partition3: SWAP, LinuxSwap, Logi…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2010-02-21 12,994 dossier reads |
| Preparing usb drive no mac “OK... I got Xelabo's leopard image working in vmware, and I have an 8GB phlash drive formatted and ready. It also reads the Mac OS X Install DVD for snow leopard.

| Acer Aspire 5733 - Need advice “You have two options, the way I see it: a distro (preferably iATKOS L2 or better) or a retail CD and Boot-132 or the like (less likely for things like wireless to work OTB, which means more time and energy.) I'd personally try iATKOS first,…” | Lion – Catalina | 2012-04-05 8,321 dossier reads |

| Ethernet stops working “Will do, but I noticed that the nForce card is using a different driver. According to system profiler, it says it uses IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/nvenet.kext, not nForceLAN.

| needing help with iatkos L2 boot “Seems to me like a kernel panic, care to post a pic? Have you tried [-v -f platform=ACPI cpus=1 busratio=20] <-- all together?
