I managed to get iATKOS v7 installed on my PC, but now it won't load. It gets stuck at the Apple logo. Can anyone help me?

At boot up press F8 and then add -v so we know what the problem is. Most likely its that you forgot to use -f (load ktexts) after installing.

I've tried it with -f now and on -v it stops just after the MAC Framework is initialized and the last bit of text says 'using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 clusters IO buffet headers'

Try it with -x, that will set it into safe mode. See if you can't boot into there.

I wasn't able to use iATKOS v7 to install on the Core i7 at all. I just use iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 with voodoo kernel and update the kernel to 10.5.7 vanilla.

Hi all,

I am having exactly the same problem as the original poster: I am able to boot and install, but on my first reboot I get stuck on a grey apple logo on a grey screen.

I've tried -v and, like WeirdEars, the last message I see is along the lines of 'using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 clusters IO buffet headers' (possibly with different numbers). It didn't look like an error.

I've tried with -f and -x separately, and both also get stuck on the same grey logo screen. (I've not tried either of those with -v though, so I'm not sure if there's any more info there. I could.)

To get the DVD to boot initially I had to use the following options: 'mach_970 busratio=20 cpus=1 -v'.

At the customise stage I chose the components as sensibly as I could, but I'm afraid I didn't write down my choices (damn!).

Do you think I've perhaps chosen an incorrect component?

Is there another boot option I could try?

Oh, here's some of my specs:

Dell Studio XPS™ -(D03SX01)
Base: Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 920 (2.66GHz, 8MB cache, 4.8GT/sec)
Memory: 3072MB (3x1024) 1067MHz DDR3 Tri Channel
Video Card: 512MB ATI® Radeon® 4850 Graphics card

(I could give more detailed info when I'm back at the PC later.)

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

erp.

Install Again

I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, and if that doesn't work then try a different version of it.
