Thread: Asus PZ68 V-PRO/ EVGA GTX570/ iATKOS L2 Booting issues

ASUS PZ68 V-PRO GEN3
i2600k
16gb HyperX
120gb ADATA S511 ssd

Windows Install:
-I first partitioned my SSD and installed Windows 7 on the main partition.
-At this point I have a 1. EFI (system) and 2. Windows install partition, and 3. empty partition for OSXLion.
-Note: I did format this 3rd partition in Windows as NTFS, but left the drive letter unassigned (using Win7 computer mgmt).

OSX Lion Install:
-Set BIOS SATA to ACHI (disabled my RAID drives and unplugged them for now, will put em back in later)
-Booted up via DVD with iATKOS L2
-Using DiskUtility, formatted the 3rd partition as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
-Went back to install screen and chose to install 10.7.2 Lion to this partition
-Customized the install as follows (all default except the below changes):
- All drivers selected (main hardware, network)
- VGA NVIDIA - NVEnabler + GF100 drivers
-Install took about 20min to complete
-On attempting to boot post-install, I'm getting stuck at "NVEnabler: Probe: ROM Shadow Enable"
-When trying to boot into safe mode (-x), I'm either stuck at "HDAEnabler" or the same video error message as above
-Tried multiple rounds of re-installs with different install configurations - no luck

any clues on to what might be going wrong? thanks

I have the exact same config:

P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3
2600K
32GB Ram
2x120GB SSD
2x1TB HDD
EVGA GTX 570

And this is the only way to work iAtkos L2. Try this and get back.

1 - Boot the DVD. At the first screen (after BIOS), press F8. Nothing will happen at this point.
2 - Type: cpus=1 busratio=22 maxmem=2048 USBBusFix=Yes -f -v then hit ENTER
3 - Format your SSD drive with Disk Utility. Close Disk Utility
4 - Chose these options in CUSTOMISE...
- Original Apple Logo
- SSD Trim Support
- HDA Enabler/ALC892 (not ALC8xxx) - Don't know why, my Audio didn't work at this point.
- Hardware monitoring (CPU + Motherboard + NVidia)
- Network/Wired/Intel Gigabit

I didn't select anything else. I tried all sort of options, NOTHING WORK EXEPT THESE ONES.

I install my GTX 570 after that (GOOGLE it). I install my audio after that (still on GOOGLE).

Good luck.
