Thread: Snow Lepoard and HD 5870 Eyefidelity 6

Hey Guys, I was looking around and around the forum trying to see how I can fix this problem :S

Basicly I followed the amazing guide by digital_dreamer on : Guide

now I got a intel i7, DX58SO Motherboard, 6 GB RAM and Sapphire HD 5870.

So I installed iAtkos 5i on 1 HDD (lets give it a name: HDD1), and from there I setup the bootloader etc etc on the other HDD (lets give it a name: HDD2).

now, when I come to boot up the HDD2, it comes up and the bootloader loads(then it shows all the kext's loading up), then a blank screen appears saying: Check signal cable, now if I boot up iAtkos 5i from the BOOTLOADER of HDD2 the same thing happens.

If I boot up iAtkos 5i from the BOOTLOADER from HDD1. It work's fine.
(to install iAtkos 5i, I used this Guide : Guide 2.

Thanks in Advance for any help!, I really need it, i'm still really new to this >.<
If there are different methods like the iBoot or something,can some1 please show me a guide or something please? I have been trying out different things day after day and nothing =S

Best Regards

anyone??

Please try with Snow Leopard instead of Leopard, as I think that is where the problem lies. The iBoot method only works with a Retail Snow Leopard dvd, not with an outdated Leopard distro.

So what do I do exactly? because iAtkos 5i only has Leopard inside it.
I download iBoot? and try using Snow Leopard?
Because when I put in the iBoot CD, and press on iBoot, it just crashes and tells me to hold the power button down and restart

Do you have a Snow Leopard DVD? If yes, simply burn iBoot to a dvd, boot with it, eject it, put Snow Leopard in and press F5. After that, simply follow the instructions!

Perfect let me try it! =D

Ok, so I put in the iBoot CD, put my BOIS back to optimal Settings,
Put in the SL Disc, then clicked f5, selected the Disc, then the apple logo came up and straight after that, it told me it crashed and I have to reboot =S, btw the disc says it install's 10.6.3. Thats the only one the shop had =S

Could you try installing with Nawcom's Mod CD instead of iBoot? This should work. Also, which version of iBoot are you using?

Hey AppliArt,
I tried Nawcom's Mod CD, and I unplugzed all the USB's except the mouse and keyboard, but it starts to say "waiting for root device" =S =S =[ and iBoot I tired out is the lastest one from the download section here: tonymacx86
I dunno what is going on, I think its imposable :P :P
