Thread: iAtkos L2 Boot Error

I've installed succesfully iAtkos L2 to my Toshiba z830/z835 ultrabook but when i try to boot it loads some files and then it stucks on apple logo with the frozen spinning bar.
When I boot in single user mode it stucks at setWOW*somethingelse*wowevents = 2(1)
I tried to reinstall five times and the third one it showed the "Press the Power Button" Banner at the end of verbose boot but the first,second,fourth and fifth times it frozen on the same error.


My hardware's: Intel i5 2467m CPU @1.67 GHz; 4GB DDR3 RAM; Intel HD3000 Graphics; Realtek ALC269; Atheros wifi and Intel LAN.

try cpus=1 -v and post a photo if it hangs good luck

I tried and now it stucks at NTFS volume name: TI30818500C (my windows partition name)
It sometimes frozens at random points without KP message; i got this error also before trying with your bootflags

I installed lion in a separate partition because i already had windows 7 installed when i bought the pc.
I only deleted one windows hibernate partition and i created a Mac os extended Journaled
one, then i installed iatkos l2 via usb on it.

so you mean that you instal lIatkos by keeping windows? if yes, it means that windows have The master boot partition, so impossible to boot lion, i think

How i proceed, delete windows by format entire HDD with iatkos L2, create two partitions first in Mac EXtended....and second for windows (MS DOS FAT) and install lion first on the first partition

don't forget to backup your windows stuff (data, music....)

Some questions: if i wipe all i'll lose two hidden partitions: will my pc work without them?
f i destroy windows, will I able to have all OEM drivers like WiFi, BT, Ethernet, and toshiba utilities back?
Last question: which partitioning table should I choose: MBR or GUID?

mine is OEM too, or was, i wiped everything, i lost HP tools and utilities, but I fiound every driver I needed on the web to reinstall windows, this is for me, you should search for driver before if you are not sure, I used MBR for the multiboot

good luck

Damn man, I followed your guide and i didn't get any advantage but now my pc hasn't BCD and I can't boot from my windows7 usb installation key!!!

sorry to hear that, to solve that, you have to take out the hdd and reformat it with another computer , very sorry man, and retake the install order if you want
