I have been searching around forums looking for a solution but none of them gives me a clear solution. I successfully installed iAtkos 5i into my computer but when I restart,I get stuck on the gray boot up screen with a small error box above it. When I type in -v in the command prompt, I get an error about the extension for the "AppleAHCIPort" and the FireWire. If anyone can help thanks!

Specs:
Intel Core Duo CPU T2450 @2GHz
32 Bit
Model: Gateway MT6840
SSE 2 and 3 Compatible
Graphics card: Mobile Intel 945gma express family
1 gf of ram

Same problem here. I got the installation done, but after restart, I get two AppleAHCIPort errors and two firewire errors, and after that only "Still waiting for root device" lines.

I have an ASUS P5K with a P5KR BIOS on it (because ASUS removed AHCI support from newer versions of the P5K BIOS for licencing reasons, but the P5KR BIOS works just fine with the P5K and enables AHCI).
Other specs:
Inteo C2D E8600 @ 3.33Ghz
Sapphire Radeon HD3870
4*1GB mushkin DDR2-800 RAM

Hi there, I'm having a problem installing iAtkos 5i on my PC. Can you tell me what are the patches that I need for my PC? Here's my PC spec:


CPU: Intel Dual Core E2200 2.2Ghz - Instructions sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T

DDR2: 3072MBytes - Channel #: 2 - DC Mode: Symetric

Mainbord: Intel P35/G33/G31 - Southbridge: 82801GB (ICH7/R) - LPCIO: IT7818

Graphics: Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family - Chip type: Intel(R) GMA 3100 - Display Memory: 286 MB

Sound Device: VIA High Definition Audio



I tried installing it for the 3rd time. It wouldn't allow the DVD to boot up, my PC always restarted. But when I tried hitting "cpus=1 -v" it worked and I was able to install the iAtkos DVD. The first time I installed it, I had a problem for restarting my PC for the first time, I hit "-v" it would go on and suddenly it wouldn't continue (seems my PC is not responding) I also tried to hit enter upon booting, the apple logo would appear and there's rotating thing and it would stop then there's an error message that says "you need to restart your PC" with different translation. I booted my PC again and tried to hit "cpus=1 -x" it would pass the apple logo then suddenly appeared the gray screen" then it would stop. I tried all the commands but still unsuccessful. Help me.
