iATKOS ML2: Installation


Starting the Installation:

- Boot your computer from iATKOS ML2 media (Dual Layer DVD, Blu-Ray or USB Media)

Most OSX86 compatible computers will be able to boot iATKOS ML2 media by default (without entering commands), but some computers will need some boot flag(s)/command(s) to be entered at boot promt.

If you are booting from DVD/Blu-Ray, then you need to press F8 in first 10 seconds for boot promt.

Common boot flags/commands for iATKOS ML2 install media:

- You can enter without quotes (").
- You can try combinations by adding a space between them, i.e. "-v cpus=1".

"GraphicsEnabler=Yes" This is needed for Intel HD 4000 installation.

"cpus=1" This may be needed for some 2011 socket motherboards and some laptop computers. TSC Sync should be selected for those 2011 socket motherboards during install. Kernel Patcher should be selected for those problematic laptop computers.

"UseKernelCache=No" This command is needed for computers that freeze at any point (including "PCI Configuration Begin" line) or computers that act weird :) this can be a CMOS reset or ignoring other SATA ports issue.
By entering this command, ElliottRTC.kext and modified IOPCIFamily.kext will be loaded during install.

"-v" Verbose mode.

"-x" Safe mode.

"USBBusFix=Yes" This option is to fix USB related issues of some motherboards that can cause freeze or USB ports to fail.

"npci=0x3000" Computers that freeze on "[ PCI Configuration Begin ]" line may try this command.

"ATIConfig=xx" "xx" is the ATI framebuffer name for target model (search it on google). This may be needed for some Intel HD 4000 + ATI gpu computers to boot with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" command.
If you used this command to boot iATKOS ML2 media, then you will also need to use it to boot your ML2 system.
