Thread: iatkos L2 boot problem, local APIC error please help

hey everyone im trying to install iATKOS onto my hp dm4 laptop and ive tried various boot commands but they have led me to recive and error and it tells me its a local APIC error. any help would be greatly appreciated if you need more specific info let me know im sorry its pretty hard to remeber all the code i see. thanks

I prefer Mac OS X Lion Retail+Unibeast+Multibeast (go to tonymacx86 Blog official website). I don't like iATKOS L2 (go to Official iATKOS Forum • Index page official website) : more kernel panics and problems.

For your problem, you must take this new kernel : OS X Lion kernel (lapic_native) - Downloads - OSx86.net

On your usb key, you must do this with shell :

rm -rf /Volumes/iATKOS L2/mach_kernel (delete bad kernel)

cp /Users/MYNAME/Desktop/mach_kernel /Volumes/iATKOS L2/ (copy happy kernel)

And when you have installed Mac OS X Lion on your new fake Macintosh HD, do the same thing : delete the kernel of the HDD and copy your orgasmic kernel.

Is it ok now ?

I am booting from a CD not a USB for this. Is it going to be more of a hassle to try and boot and fix this issue with a cd ? If so I'll try and download the other version of lion which you posted. But in the mean time. Is there away going about this and replacing the kernel of I'm booting from a cd?

If it's rewritable, you can mount the iATKOS L2 image. And change the kernel. And after with Disk Utility, let's do with this : a "new image". And erase your DVD, burn then your orgasmic image

ok so right now i have my iatkos L2 dmg file and the mach_kernel. what do you suggest i do ? (im trying to dual boot hackintosh for the first time so this has been alot of trial an error for me, thanks for your help)

Is it the new dmg file with the new kernel for HP ? Is it burnt ?

no i dont know where to download a differnt dmg file. i have my iatkos L2 dmg file still and all i did was download the kernel from the link you provided. i dont know what to do with the kernel or how to apply it. both files are just on my desktop at the moment

Ok. Open Disk Utility. Drop your dmg file on the left. Open then the dmg file. Change the kernel.


rm -rf /Volumes/iATKOS L2/mach_kernel (delete bad kernel)

cp /Users/MYNAME/Desktop/mach_kernel /Volumes/iATKOS L2/ (copy happy kernel)

And after with Disk Utility, let's do with this : a "new image". And erase your DVD, burn then your new orgasmic image

(And when you have installed Mac OS X Lion on your new fake Macintosh HD, do the same thing : delete the kernel of the HDD and copy your orgasmic kernel.)

im sorry but i dont know what you mean for me to do. i dont have disk utility im not running a mac os. if i open my dmg file on my disk it just has various boot files, for example boot.CAT or cdboot. i dont know how to get to or find the kernel im suppose to change.

The most simple for you is maybe to go and see your friend because your friend has Mac OS X and prepare then your USB Key (it's always more simple with a USB Key) thanks to the Mac computer of your friend.
