iATKOS v7 Solutions

[Pere]

Here we will post all the problems and issues people report and will try to find a solution for them.
Please post on forums your problem so we can help you and gather all solutions here together. Thanks.

Keep in mind: If the DVD boots and installation ends with success, then this OS can work on your hardware in a possibility of %95, if you manage to select right packages during install.


ISSUE 01:
CORE i7 extrange behavior on boot....
Solution:
Boot with the flag busratio=20 or use Voodoobased 9.7 kernel on DVD using the flag mach_970 on dvd boot prompt.


ISSUE 02:
Kernel panic when installing or using Iatkos V7 on Nforce Mobo with more than 4gb ram memory.
Solution:
Boot with the flag maxmem=2048 , finish install and reboot, once you are on desktop, erase AppleNForceATA.kext from system/library/extensions and install one of these:

AppleNForceATA.kext 64 4gb ram support

AppleNForceATA.kext 64 (untested).

Thanks to Roisoft and Roci for pointing the solutions to Chipset and Network driver.


ISSUE 03:
You got an HP530 laptop, MSI Wind or such hardware with GMA950 27AE id and no driver from DVD gives you QE, CI and VGA monitor output.
Solution:
Firstly try this: select "GMA 950 Rare" and "GMA 950 Laptop" at the same time, if not working then,
Don´t select ANY GMA950 driver and/or EFI string on install. After you arrive to desktop, install this:
http://ul.to/0bx92c , then boot again the DVD and install ONLY the EFI string for intel.
Thanks to Marcos for testing.

ISSUE 04:
GTX 2xx users with blank screen on boot
Solution:
do not use efi string for your nVidia GTX 2xx cards, instead use one of the enablers, read the descriptions pls.


ISSUE 05:
No problem on v7 DVD boot but weird freezes on system boot without "waiting for root device" error or kernel panic, whether you try all of the possible appropriate combinations for your motherboard (especially AMD motherboards)
Solution:
You should give a try to Xiezhy bootloader instead of chameleon booters.


ISSUE 06:
You have a 82562 ET/EZ/GT/GZ - PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller ( ID: 8086:27b9 ) and Intel network driver doesn´t work for you....

ISSUE 07: If your system continuously restart after install.
Fix: boot your system with osx disk and at the screen of install run terminal. Type that:

cp /mach_kernel /Volumes/mac/

exit terminal and install. then restart machine.

here "mac" is name of your partition that your disk.
