Step by Step Guide: How to install Mac OS X on a VAIO with iAtkos 1.0 r2

Okay at first, Thanks to Uphuck, OSX.Turk, Apple and the osx86 scene for developing such great products and releases.

First you need the iAtkos 1.0 r2 DVD Image. You can Download it from YouTorrent (you need a torrent client) in the 1.0 r2 Version or check out for other releases and download them. But don't forget to apply the r2 patch. If you don't want to use Torrent, in the next days I'm going to upload it to iAtkos Social Blog.

After you have downloaded the Image, burn it to a blank DVD. Burn Slow, don't use RWs and Burn with good Software.

Important: Backup all your Data on a external Drive or some DVD's.

Now turn off your PC, insert the DVD and boot. When the countdown starts, press enter. Now Darwin Boot should load, after that a grey Apple screen comes up. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes to load. If you're PC hangs on the grey Apple screen (if it takes more than 15 min. to load), then check out my tommorows Blog post. I'll give you some solutions there.

After loading, press the round button, and wait while it's "prepairing installation". After that go to "Utilities", than go to Disk Utility. Select your Hard Drive. Go to "Partioning", select 1 partion (or how much you need...) and click on erease. Go to Security and take a look if "MBR/Master Boot Record" is selected.

After that notice your Harddisk and Partion Number where you want to install Leopard on, and close the Disk Utility.

Go to Utilities --> Darwin Boot. Select Y, then enter your Hard Drive number, then your Partion Number you've noticed before. After that you can select or deselect EFI. For my Vaio EFI didn't work, it rebooted the whole time after the installation. If you think it wil work on your VAIO then select it with "y". After that wait some seconds and the Patching is finished. Now Close Terminal (ALT GR + Q) and continue the installation.

Select the Partion, then click continue and then click Customize. Okay, click on Patches and select EFI, but only if you patched it already in Darwin Boot. If you don't want EFI, select nothing from the Patches menu.

Now let's go to the Drivers. Most of the last VAIO's use Intel for Network, because of that select the Intel Driver in the Network menu.

Now the Graphic Drivers. There are a lot of problems with the VAIO graphic cards. When I frist time installed iAtkos on my Vaio, I have a NVidia Card, so I selected NVInject 256 vRam (that's how much vRam I have.) I installed it properly and after the instllation the PC booted, there was the Apple Grey Screen and after some seconds the screen became black with some blue and green lines. I reinstalled it and used Natit. Same Problem. Then I used all the other Drivers. Always same problem. At the end i didn't take any driver and it worked well. (Okay, I have only a VESA resolution.) So try which works for you.

If you got a Intel Graphic Card, there should be no Problems.

Okay, now let's install Leopard. This takes about 20 minutes.

After that reboot into Leopard, then the "Welcome" Video comes.

If you want that Video: Go into the "/System/Library/CoreServices" folder and control-click on "Setup Assistant". Click on "Show Package Contents". In the package, go into the "Contents" folder and then the "Resources" folder. Control-click on "TransitionSection.bundle" and click on "Show Package Contents".
Again, go into the "Contents" folder and then the "Resources" folder.
You'll find the "intro-sound.mp3" and "intro.mov" files there.

After that enter you're Data, Accounts, etc. If you stuck at "Transfer from antoher Mac", just reboot your Vaio and evrything should work well.

Welcome to the World of Mac OS X. I hope you liked my little Guide.

Instructions

Installation

1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install. Do partitioning if you need to.

a- You can choose MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (Guid Partition Table) via partitioning options. If you want to change your existing partition table type, know that all your existing data on disk will be gone.
b- For Windows fellows that has not tested this amazing system yet and that does not want to loose their windows software, porn and virus&trojan archive on D:\, should use Parted Magic Live CD for preparing an active primary target partition and after that, just erase it via diskutil. Jump to Step 2.

2- Select the destination for installation.

3- Click customize and select what you need.

4- Click Install.

Install time is about 20 minutes

Multiboot:

iATKOS 4i has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easier than ever.

Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Vista-Linux.

- MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot -

- Change your partition table type to MBR (msdos type) and create 3 primary partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 for the others.
Note: %99.99999 of the PC harddrives already have MBR partition map scheme (msdos type) which you can change it to GPT via Parted Magic CD or iATKOS Disk Utility if you like to.

- Add boot flag to Vista or Linux target and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, do not install bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root.

- Boot iATKOS 4i DVD and install OS X to its target as usual.

- Now you need to repair Vista. Add boot flag to Vista partition, boot Vista DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS X partition, thats all.

Now you have triple boot on MBR.

Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot.

- GPT (Guid Partition Table) triple boot -

- Change your partition table type to GPT (Guid Partition Table) and create 3 partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 (msdos) for the others.

- Boot iATKOS 4i DVD, install only bootloader to OS X target. ***

- Boot Vista DVD and install it to first Fat32 partition.
(Note: System marks first Fat32 partition for booting Foreign OS'. If you choose other than first Fat32 as target for Vista, then during installation, system will not continue install process at first Vista boot.)

- Boot Linux media and install the OS. Install the bootloader to linux root.
(Note: Some live linux cd stuff (knoppix, kanotix, parsix, etc.) has built-in installer applications and they use gparted for partitioning and formatting targets. At this point, formatting target to linux fs via Gparted is not a good choice, use unix fdisk just for changing the target partition type from ''c0'' to ''83'' which is linux partition type and then continue installation.)

- Boot iATKOS 4i DVD and install OS X as usual.

Now you have triple boot on GPT, thats all.

As you see, preparing multiboot system on GPT is more practical and easier.
Darwin on GPT will see other OS' as Foreign Boot.

*** For pro-users: You can re-install Darwin bootloader by booting the iATKOS DVD with -s. Boot with -s and enter darwin command, follow the instructions. For MBR HD, you can add boot flag via fdisk after darwin installation.

Mac OSX86 - iATKOS v4i (Leopard 10.5.4 DVD)

Mac OSX86 - iATKOS v4i (Leopard 10.5.4 DVD) - 10.5.4 main system of v4i including modbin 9.4.0 kernel is compatible for darwin x86 non-efi mbr systems by default. Users can select stock packages for efi systems. - Like the v2i, v4i also includes netkas pc-efi 8, supports GPT (Guid Partition Table) and MBR (Master Boot Record). - Some system bugs of v2i including some link errors are fixed. - Improved sata support. I had no chance to test it so you will do it - Includes speedstep support for compatible cpu's like the older versions of the team. Speedstepping package includes 9.2.0 speedstep kernel. - 2.64 GB dvd size. Welcome to iATKOS v4i Installation.. Credits goes to Apple and OSX86 community.. prepared by uphuck, eskurza and the rest of OSX86.Türk team.. Special thanks to people that support our work.. Attention: 1- This DVD is designed for Intel architectures. Minimum requirements: Intel SSE3 CPU, 512MB RAM, 12GB free space on target partition. 2- This DVD includes Apple's OS X Leopard 10.5.4 (9E17) installation. 3- Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one posted on our website. Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly. Information: - This release supports GPT (Guid Partition Table) partition map scheme. You can change your partition table type to GPT via Disk Utility or some other partition managers. We advice Parted Magic Live CD which is based on GParted. - This release also includes Darwin EFI emulation boot for MBR (Master Boot Record) harddrives. Intel Core CPUs can use stock kernel and stock ACPIPlatform with EFI emulation on MBR and with GPT. This increases stability and performance. - Intel CoreDuo Processors have appropriate SpeedStep Technology which is stable in OS X. If you have such processor, you can enable throttling feature using the "SpeedStep" package which you can find under system drivers section. Don't select any of the kernels with speedstep support if you don't want to have kernel panic. - There are some boot options for some various hardware. Boot DVD, press F8 and enter: nforce -v for nForce motherboards with intel SSE3 CPU nforce_core -v for nForce motherboards with Intel Core CPU toh -v for booting with ToH 9.2.0 kernel which works nice on many types of hardware Installation: 1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install.

Known Issues: 1- Jmicron IDE controllers are known to have issues with OS X. 2- Some 965 chipset MSI and ASUS motherboards (desktop and laptop) have issues with this OS. ACPI errors while booting with DVD and also with hd. You can face panics with multicore cpu's on some uncompatible mobo also. 3- This dvd may not include all the necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may be needed to be taken by the user to setup and use such components. 4- Be sure that the labels of your hfs+ partitions are not similar. ie. Mac 1, MacOS or Leopard X, Leopard Y. Installer may fail to determine the target partition to install the system if the labels match. Unsuccessful Installation and Related Symptoms: 1- I get the error "com.apple.Boot.plist is not found" while booting the DVD --> You are probably trying to boot from an unsupported controller. ~ You should use usb dvd rom drive, or you may need sata-ide convertor for your dvd rom drive (jmicron). 2- System freezes at grey screen by booting the DVD. --> You probably have an unsupported chipset. *965 chipset ASUS or MSI motherboard/laptop *many VIA, SIS, ATI chipset motherboards ~ Change your hardware ~ A patch can be possible for 965 ASUS/MSI hardware, so keep on watching this community.
