Hello, I searched the forums a lot but I couldnt seem to find a scenario similar enough to mine. I'm using vmware server for now so I can try out the OS before actually partitioning, but it never installs successfully. I'm using iAtkos v2.0i. Upon booting, sometimes I get the "/com.apple.Boot.plist not found" error. I'll restart and press F8, type -v, and it freezes at one of several points, its either:

APPLE16X50ACPI1: Identified serial port on ACPI Device=COMA
ACPI button driver prevents system sleep
Countless others...

basically it stops at a different place every time. So. Here's my computer's guts!:

Any help would be appreciated!

Well, see this topic to view OSX86 versions: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43053

And try install on physical machine. VMware is crapped and have lots of problems with OSX.

Goodluck,

So I installed successfully with Kalyway 10.5.1, but cannot get the dual boot setup for the life of me! I can only boot into the OS with the DVD in the drive, then pressing F8 and entering rd=disk0s6. Any other way I can't seem to get it to select the right drive. From the disk0s6, can someone tell me the settings I must use in either EasyBCD or Darwin Bootloader?

Try install Leo4All v3 and see work. Moe easy.

Goodluck,
