Thread: (iATKOS L2) Stuck on Apple Logo Startup Screen

I just freshly installed iATKOS L2 on my PC and every time I tried to boot on Mac, I passed the "Press any key for setup menu" then it showed me the Apple Logo Startup Screen. I waited for 5 minutes, it won't go any where, so I keep my patience and wait for another 30 minutes. Guess what? Still at that Apple Logo... Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm quite new to this, so please do not use so much technical terms.

Thx!

Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i7 930
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R V.1 (F6)
RAM: G-Skill 2GB x3
HDD: Got a couple in my desktop, the one for this Mac is Seagate 500GB
Graphic Card: Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465
PSU: Sythe 700W
Monitors: Dell P2210f x2

Don't know if this helps, but I ran into the same problem. if you hit Control and F5, you can hear a voice automated system that will essentially walk you through the process, I ended up getting lost about half way through :/ Don't know if that will fix it or not. I'm also going to try and take out my graphics card prior and see if I can boot into it that way. Keep me posted if you find a method that works.

Also to anyone else who is feeling froggy and willing to help, feel free!

UPDATE

So, I took out my graphics card, and it worked! only downside now is that none of my peripherals are working. My audio is all coming out of my turtle beach headset for whatever reason, it doesn't recognize that I have an ethernet port, nor audio jack ports or most anything else! If anybody knows how to update the drivers on this version of Mac please let us know!

I tried the Control F5 but it doesn't work.
I have only one Graphic Card, I mean I don't have the integrated graphics. So if I pull it off I can't see anything!

on the bootloader menu, type "cpus=1 -v" just to see if it's a matter of CPU and to see where it hangs, after that, post a photo of it

it's important to know what you checked/unchecked in "customize" before doing the installation. so if you can give them, it may help to solve your problem.

How do I get into the bootloader menu?

when you're asked to hit any key, there you type the bootflags, you will see what you type under the mac hdd or at the bottom of the screen

did you use the usb way or the dvd way to install, what are the options you checked/unchecked in the "customize" window, it may help
good luck

I use a DVD to install, I don't see any options for me to checked. Anyway, I'll try to type the bootflags.
Thanks

I tried typing cpus=1 -v already and here's what happen! Do I need to config my BIOS or sth?

type with the other bootflags, add npci=0x2000 (this is a part of the option that must be checked in installation, but we will talk about it later, anyway, they can be added in post installation)
good luck

Thank you very much, Andry!!!! Now I'm running on Lion! But I guess I got some drivers problem, I can't connect to the internet and there's no audio. Do you know where to get all the drivers from?
Thank you!

good new, just give your ethernet spec and your sound card,

it's not finished yet, you just run one core instead of four, search for mach kernel to enable all cores/thread, i got one but i don't know if it works on desktop computers, it has to be installed with osx86tools, check if your graphic is fully accelerated (open chess and try to move pawns, if you can then it's all right)

editing boot.plist:
go to extra folder, you'll find chameleon boot plist, copy it to the desktop open the copy
edit it like this (add those which are missing, edit those which are wrong)
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>npci</key>
<string>0x2000</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>

my fear is that there are some kext that must be installed to make your computer fully working, like fake smsc, evoreboot, RTC, usb,
