iATKOS | X Clone

Be sure to back up any important data, and if possible clone your hard drive before applying the update. If you have any issues post-update, boot using UniBeast or rBoot. What we know about 10.7.3 so far... - 11.3.0 Darwin kernel - Improved AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA graphics drivers. - If you use customized or edited graphics kexts, it will be necessary to make the edits again using   the new drivers as a base. - The update will replace your AppleHDA.kext. - If you use ALC8xxHDA for onboard audio, you will have to reinstall AppleHDA Rollback using MultiBeast before rebooting. - If you use toleda's new AppleHDA for onboard audio, you will need to reinstall it before rebooting. - If you use VoodooHDA, you will not need to make any modifications. - If you use Sleepenabler.kext, remove before updating. source CLICK THE IMAGE TO FIND LINKS

Unix Flags that might work in OSX. See subcategories for details This list is mostly AMD specific boot options & for 64bit CPU's. Might also help with Intel CPU's. This list needs extensive testing & feedback but most of these flags do work in OSX. Once more info is gathered They will be categorized into the lists above Machine check Options Flags mce=off = Disable machine check. For compatibility with i386. Might help boot some AMD systems. nomce does the same same as mce=off mce=bootlog = Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting. Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus logs. If your BIOS does not do that it's a good idea to enable this log to make sure you log every machine check event that result in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default. mce=nobootlog = Disable boot machine check logging. mce= tolerancelevel (number from list below) 0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors 1: panic...

kernel name "mach_kernel" This flag simply tells the system to boot from another kernel available in / (aka root). fsb=<mhz> = Most of the hacked kernels include the possibility at boot to chosen FSB frequency. These flags DO NOT work with any known vanilla kernel. Do testing with the below values to see what works for you. The default value is 200Mhz. If you want different value, you have a few possibilities. Ex: kernel name "netkasSS_kernel" Ex: fsb=800 or use one of these flags below: -g = For frequency's multiplied by 100 Mhz -y = For frequency's multiplied by 133 Mhz -z = For frequency's multiplied by 166 Mhz * You can easily add either the -y, -g, or -z options to your boot.plist file or use the fsb=<mhz> flag to give it an exact figure. I have not tested the fsb=<mhz> flag but the -y gave me the correct 800fsb (100mhz x 8) and boosted my performance to where it should be in OSX. This may not change the FSB in abo...

Note: Any flag can be added to your boot.plist but these are just the common ones. "Boot Graphics"=Yes = Yes or No. Use graphics mode or text mode when starting. Turns off vesa mode graphics at boot. "Quiet Boot"=Yes = Yes or No. Use quiet boot mode (no messages or prompt). Same as adding -v option. Timeout=3 = Any number 1-100. Number of seconds to pause at the boot prompt. debug=0x144 When added as a boot flag to your com.apple.Boot.plist will give you details about a kernel panic you have at any time when running OSX. I believe it is the same as debug=0x100, not sure. Kernel level flags: -l = The flag attempts to enable the L2 cache if not already enabled. Not sure if this works on hacks. If your having an L2 cache issue try this flag. cpus= Tells the kernel how many cores there are in place. Ex: cpus=1 OR cpus=2 idlehalt= Lets you set two values ether 1 or 0 stating true or false, if set to true then at idle time the cpu will halt ca...

-v = verbose mode. Basically tells you wants happening during boot up. -x = Safe mode. Basically boots your system with the bare minimum kexts. -s = Single user mode. Command line only mode. Allows you to run commands as root to fix system. -f = Tells the machine to reload all kext and dump the boot configuration cache, (kext cache found in: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext, you can delete it manually and the system will recreate it). "Graphics Mode"= Tells the system what resolution width, height, color depth & refresh rate to boot the OS with. Ex: "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH For VESA 3.0 graphics, you may append a refresh rate after an "@" character Ex: "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32@60" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH@REFRESHRATE rd= This parameter state what is the boot disk to use (instead of using the boot menu appearing before the prompt) you state the drive and partition in here: diskXsY where...

The true is this happen for a lot of things, but this guide will help a lot of users. 1. Boot from the rBoot CD 2. While hovering over the OSX partition, type in mach_kernel   rd=disk0s2 3. OSX started up fine, and then to avoid the need of keeping the rBoot disc in 24/7 to get into OSX, simply reinstall Chameleon. :)

You only need to add:  npci=0x2000 to Kernel Flags in /Extra/ org.chameleon.Boot.plist :)

1. First, make sure you partition the drive as GUID 2. Format the OS X partition as Mac OS X Journaled, and the Windows 7 partition as MS DOS FAT 3. Install Windows 7 first , and remember that there is a hidden partition (Win7 would be Partition 3 instead of 2). 4. Then install iATKOS (Mac OS X) and Chimera and you'll be able to Dual Boot.

Still waiting for root device error occured because the appropriate Sata/Pata driver isn’t being loaded . This error usually appears before OSX86 DVD can boot and in some cases it occurs after installation. Actually this error means that the OS is set to boot from a drive and partition that does not exist or your bootloader is not able to discover the partition. Step 1 Jumper Settings : If your system contains IDE hard disk or DVD RW then you need to play with your jumper settings. If the following settings are not working for you try vice versa. if you have Sata Hard Disk and DVD RW skip to step 2. Your rom/writer must be set as Primary Master. Your hard-disk must be set as Primary Slave . Step 2 Tweaking the BIOS : If you satisfies step 1 then time is to play with BIOS settings. Open your BIOS settings by pressing DEL or F2 key continuosly as you starts your PC. Once the BIOS screen appears try to find and change following options if they are available. ATA/IDE Mode : Native Conf...

iATKOS L2 Multiboot: iATKOS L2 has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easy. Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Win-Linux. iATKOS L2, Debian GNU/Linux DVD and Windows7 DVD installers are used in this example. - MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot - - Nearly all PC's work on MBR partitioned harddisks, check it with Disk Utility, if so do no touch it. If it is GPT then you need to repartition your harddisk by loosing all the data in it. Click to partitioning options, select MBR and do the partitioning. - Create 3 or more partitions by using iATKOS Disk Utility or Parted Magic Live CD. Mac OS Extended Journaled (HFS+) format for OS X target, MS-DOS (Fat32) for the others. OS targets must be one of the first 3 partitions creating with Disk Utility. - Add boot flag to Windows or Linux target and install the operating systems in any order you like. For windows, make su...

iATKOS L2 has no native support for the GT 240, but here we share with you an easy solution: For common booting issue, try: 1. FIRST: -v arch=i386 npci=0x2000 PCIRoot=Yes DSDT=No 2. THEN: Download from TonyMacx86 the amazing tool called MultiBeast 4.2 3. FINALLY: If you could, donate a cup of coffe to UPHUCK and/or TonyMac Enjoy ;)

This is how to create a booting usb from windows without installers or anything else. 1) You will need: Bootsector files (this files are taken from chameleonb build, they are respectivly - Mbr.bin - boot0 and bs32.bin - boot1f32). Preferably latest build of chameleon. Download the tar.gz file and unpack with 7z . 2) Lets begin: BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT ON THE FLASH DRIVE. - You have to have a some form of partition on your USB, so windows can assign a letter to it. If its empty format in FAT32 - Unpack the bootsector arhive and run through CMD this command: "makeusb X:" (WHERE X IS THE LETTER ASSIGNED TO YOUR USB) - Unplug the drive and put it back in - Now you should have a fresh (empty) partition. All you have to do is unpack the trunk build you downloaded in the root of the USB drive. - You should copy boot from /usr/standalone/boot to the root folder of your USB. So that there are atleast 2 folders - Extra/usr and 1 file - boot (not extension). - You're set, ...
