a??a??a??iATKOS L2 Installation Guidea??a??a??

The oscar goes to Apple and OSX86 community..

Thanks to all of our forum operators..

All the GGRN people, hey folks :)

Ourteam OSX86.TA?rk, EVOSX86, Project OS X, InsanelyMac, tonymacx86 andother OSX86 development platforms and the developers are the reason forthis system to survive..


a??a??a??Attention:a??a??a??

1-a) This is an OSX86 installer and this is only designed for Non-Apple X86 Intel CPU computers.
b) Includes Apples Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (Build 11C74), X86 patches and some basic drivers.
c) You do not need any other OS X system on your target computer, you only need iATKOS L2 burned to 4.7G DVD

or restored on a USB media to install OS X Lion.

2- Hardware Compatibility is the most important subject for this OS.

Requirements for OSX86 system:
- Intel Core CPU
- Compatible motherboard
- Compatible VGA card
- Minimum 1GB RAM
- Minimum 10GB free space on target partition

So, you need to know about the compatibility of your hardware before installing this system.

To get your hardware details (Vendor IDs, Device IDs):
-Fire up a Linux Live CD (ie. Ubuntu Live CD), type lspci -nn in terminal and take notes.
-Windowsers, get Everest Ultimate Edition and export the information.

After download the iATKOS L2 distro and if your on Windows PC
convert this from .dmg to .iso and burn on a 4.7GB DVD at low-speed

a??a??a??Information:a??a??a??

-You can make clean, upgrade and refresh installs to your existing OSX86system using iATKOS L2. Please read the related section below.

- Easy installation on Software RAID volumes, no additional user actions needed. Please read the related section below.

-Using software updater to apply main system updates just like real Macson most PC hardware is possible, but we can never know what Apple willdo in their upcoming updates, so it may not result in 0 success, alsosome of the drivers should be reinstalled after updates. Please readthe related section below.

- This installer may not include allthe necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may beneeded to be taken by the user to setup and use such components.

-Main system is fully stock. @Karmic Alice and I are running L2 mainsystem on our MacBooks. After working on real Macs, finally Lion systemis now completely OK with this L2 release. Thanks to @Karmic Alice forparticipating on the experimental work.

- AppleHDA patches, some VoodooHDA kexts and the Chimera bootloader is from tonymacx86.com

- Spanish translations by @Karmic Alice.

a??a??a??Before Installation:a??a??a??

- Backup your personal data

- Check your BIOS settings >>
Execute Disable bit: Enabled
XD: Enabled
Limit CPUID Max: Disabled
Virtualization: Disabled or Enabled, try it.
Hyper-threading: Disabled or Enabled, try it.
HPET: Enabled
SATA Mode: AHCI

-A target partition (primary partition for MBR) or disk will be neededfor installation. If you are not an advanced user, then use a cleanharddisk with no personal data/OS as for target and unplug all the otherharddisk drives connected to your motherboard just to be safe.

-If the target disk includes personal data and/or any OS, we adviceParted Magic Live CD for partitioning and such operations for preparing atarget. You can also do the partitioning and create targets by using OSX Disk Utility.


a??a??a??Starting the Installation:a??a??a??

- Boot using the iATKOS L2 media (DVD or USB)

- If you have a NetBook with an Intel Atom CPU, then press F8 at boot screen, type mach_atom without quotes and hit enter.

- Select the language


a??a??a??Clean Installation:a??a??a??

1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target for clean install

-You can choose MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (Guid Partition Table)via partitioning options. If you want to change your existing partitiontable type, note that all your existing data on disk will be gone!Please do not play with partitioning options if your are not an advanceduser.

2- Select the destination for installation

3- Click Customize* and select what you need

4- Click Install


a??a??a??Upgrade from previous versions:a??a??a??

Youcan upgrade your existing Snow Leopard or Lion installations to Lion10.7.2 or make a refresh install to your 10.7.2 system (keeping yourapplications, data, user settings and accounts) by using iATKOS L2.

Someof your drivers/applications just may not be compatible with Lion, knowthat they may fail after upgrade, this may also cause kernel panics. Sosearch for your existing software/driver compatibility for Lion, beforeupgrading to Lion.

Your 3rd party applications, personal data,user settings and user accounts will be reserved but all systemfiles/drivers/applications will be gone, so you will need to setup yourselections just like a clean install.

1- Select the destination for upgrade installation

2- Click Customize* and select what you need

3- Click Install

a??a??a?? Customize:a??a??a??

This is the most important part of the installation. List of selections..
Thereis already a basic default profile chosen. You should add only devicedrivers for your hardware setup at first trials of your OSX86 installingadventure if you are a newbie, then you may try adding other packagesto find out the best combination for your PC. Adding a few packages todefault profile will probably be enough for most computers.
Please read the descriptions of the packages carefully.

Basics you should know:

-Do not select more than one item for one operation. ie. graphic cardsor bootloaders. Only select one bootloader, one enabler method for yourgraphic card, one method for your sound card, etc..

- Graphics Enabler option of the bootloader should be the first choice for activating the OS X driver for your VGA card.

-You can of course try the drivers or methods to make your hardwarecomponents work but, it is better to google it before trying thepackages. You can easily find the solution for i.e. nVidia 5xx cardsinside the iATKOS L2 by searching on google (select ATY_Init and afterinstall, add your device id.. etc.).

- Most ATI Mobility VGAcards are not compatible with this system and most compatible ATI cardsneed their custom packages/modifications which is not included in thisrelease. You must search and find the appropriate driver/solution byyour own for such ATI hardwares, so do not continuously ask for ATIsupport on forum.

- You may not be able to have success at firsttrials, so keep on trying.. If you are complaining about having nosuccess on 3rd install, then install Windows XP.

Software RAID:

Information:

-Software RAID combines two or more physical harddisks or theirpartitions (RAID slices) into a single logical unit. RAIDs variousdesigns involve two key design goals: increase data reliability and/orincrease input/output performance.

- You can create RAID volumes and install Lion on RAID using iATKOS L2.

- RAID levels or types for OS X:
StripedRAID (RAID-0): A RAID-0 set splits data evenly across multiple diskswith no parity information for redundancy. RAID0 is normally used toincrease performance for both read and write. It can also be used as away to create a small number of large virtual disks out of a largenumber of small physical ones. Simply it is a way to use the disks likeusing the dual or more channel RAMs, so it increases the read and writeperformance more than a bit. RAID0 sets are advised for the main systemvolumes to increase the performance of the OS.
Mirrored RAID(RAID-1): A RAID-1 set creates an exact copy of a set of data on two ormore disks. This is mostly for data safety and also an increase ofperformance for read operations is expected. The RAID array can only beas big as the smallest member of the slices. RAID1 sets are used forsecurity and advised for data storage volumes.
Concatenated Disk set:Which is not exactly a RAID level. The slices are merely concatenatedtogether, end to beginning, so they appear to be a single large disk. Itprovides no data redundancy. This may be thought of as the inverse ofpartitioning. Whereas partitioning takes one physical drive and createstwo or many more logical volumes, concatenation uses two or more slicesto create one logical volume. No increase in performance is possible andneither increased data reliability is possible.

- Boothelper partition: OS X Software RAID systems boot using boot helperpartitions and so the bootloader will be installed to boot helperpartition instead of the RAID slice. If one of the RAID slices of yourtarget RAID volume is disk0s2, then its hidden boot helper partitionnamed as Boot OS X is disk0s3. Do the math for the others.

-Create RAID volumes: You can easily create RAID volumes using OS X DiskUtility. Do the partitioning if you need to, click on the target diskand then click on RAID tab, choose RAID type, name it and by pressing create a new RAID set. Add the target partitions or disks to RAIDset by dragging them and when you are done, click to Create button.The added partitions or disks will be the slices of your RAID set, in afew seconds your RAID volume will be mounted and ready for installation.

- iATKOS L2 RAID operations:
-L2 installs the bootloader of your choice to the boot helper partitionof the preceding disk of the RAID set, so the first disk by your bioswill be the Mac OS X boot disk. You can install any foreign bootloadersto other harddisks of your RAID set, there will be no harm to your RAIDset. On my 3x RAID0 system, second HDD has Grub bootloader and the thirdone has Windows bootloader installed seperately and all running fine. Iam using Grub to boot all.


a??a??a??RAID Install Steps:a??a??a??

1- Create RAID volume as described above

2- Select it as destination for install

3- Click Customize and select what you need

4- Click Install

a??a??a??Main System Updates:a??a??a??

Asyou know, using software updater to apply main system updates ispossible for most PCs. Your custom kernel and many drivers will beprotected after the update but some drivers and patches will beoverwritten and some will be non-functional, so computers that needthese drivers and patches will need to take some actions after updating.These packages are:

- USB: IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
- GF100: GeForceGLDriver.bundle
- SSD Trim support: IOAHCIFamilyTrim.kext

Thefiles will also be installed to /Library/Temp folder. So, you will needto re-install them after applying the update. Kext Utility.app islocated at /Applications/Utilities/Tools. Drag the kexts on to KextUtility.

- VoodooHDA: Any of the VoodooHDA versions may causekernel panic after updating your system. Solution is deletingAppleHDA.kext from /System/Library/Extensions directory after applyingthe update.
- ATI 48xx: This driver will be non-functional afterapplying main system update. You need to search for new version of thispatch. Follow Netkas blog.

Every main system update had someissues with our PC hardwares that had been covered mostly after therelease of the update, so updating like real Macs is not a thing thatyou can always count on because we can never know what Apple will do forthe next update. Until now it had no major problems with X86 PChardwares.

a??a??a??Multiboot:a??a??a??

iATKOS L2 has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easy.

Hereis a How To for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Win-Linux.iATKOS L2, Debian GNU/Linux DVD and Windows7 DVD installers are used inthis example.

- MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot -

-Nearly all PCs work on MBR partitioned harddisks, check it with DiskUtility, if so do no touch it. If it is GPT then you need to repartitionyour harddisk by loosing all the data in it. Click to partitioningoptions, select MBR and do the partitioning.

- Create 3 or morepartitions by using iATKOS Disk Utility or Parted Magic Live CD. Mac O---tended Journaled (HFS ) format for OS X target, MS-DOS (Fat32) for theothers. OS targets must be one of the first 3 partitions creating withDisk Utility.

- Add boot flag to Windows or Linux target and install the operating systems in any order you like.
Forwindows, make sure the windows target disk is the first preceding diskby your BIOS, unplug the other harddisks if needed. This is a generalwindows issue.
For linux, do not install linux bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root.

- Boot iATKOS L2 and install OS X to target as usual.

-If Windows fails to load then you may need to repair Windows (win7 orvista) (mostly you will not face this issue): Add boot flag to Windowspartition, boot Windows DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS Xpartition.

- You can also add boot flag to Linux partition to use Linux bootloader for multiboot manipulation if you want to.

Now you have triple boot on MBR.

Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot.

- GPT (Guid Partition Table) triple boot -

-Check the partition table type with Disk Utility. If it is not GPT thenrepartition the drive and change the partition map scheme to GPT bypressing partition options. You will loose all the data on target diskby repartitioning.

- Create 3 or more partitions by using iATKOSDisk Utility. Mac OS Extended Journaled (HFS ) format for OS X target,MS-DOS (Fat32) for the others. Windows and Linux targets should be ofthe first 3 partitions.

- Boot Windows Media and install it to its FAT32 target.

- Boot iATKOS L2 and install OS X to target as usual. You have dual-boot with OS X and windows right now.

- Boot Linux media and install the operating system (OS) to its FAT32 target.
Do not install the linux bootloader to MBR, install it linux root.
Do not change the boot flags.
Do not modify the partition table, it can be risky for some distros, just erase the target and do the install.
Use grub2.

-Now you can boot to OS X and Linux using OSX86 bootloader which bootsby default, but windows fails at this stage because Linux installationbroke the hybrid GPT, so we will bring it back on this step.
BootiATKOS L2 and enter gptsync /dev/diskX command on terminal. X is theBSD number of your target disk, run disk utility and right click on yourdisk, you will see it.

Now you have triple boot on GPT. Bydefault, OS X bootloader will take the control by these steps. It canboot all of them by just selecting. If you want linux or windows to takethe control of multibooting then go on reading, it is described below.

Allthe OS are independent by this way, you can re-install each of themone by one when needed. You just need to care about 2 things:
- gptsync will be needed after Linux re-install
-you need to re-install OS X bootloader after Windows re-install. BootiATKOS L2, install the bootloader using terminal. If you use linux formultibooting then this step is not necessary.

There are morecombinations to make multiboot work on especially on GPT. If you knowthe procedures as well, there is no thing like an unrecoverablemultiboot error. i.e.> keep in mind that hybrid GPT may fail whendealing with linux stuff, then windows will not boot. Do not use partedmagic live cd for Hybrid GPT, it breaks Hybrid GPT causing an unbootablewindows. There comes the gptsync, it creates a fake MBR code on GPTdrives that make Windows feel like it works on MBR partitioned hdd.

Youcan always apply gpysync if hybrid GPT is broken somehow. Afterbringing back the hybrid GPT partition using gptsync, windows will workagain. After gptsync, you can add boot flag to other partitions by usingOS X or Linux fdisk if you like to boot from another OS. i.e. >>booting from linux and using grub for multiboot manipulation instead ofchameleon.
For OS X fdisk, boot iATKOS L2 and open terminal:

fdisk -e /dev/diskX # X is the BSD number of your target disk
p # p is the fake MBR partition list
f Y # f for adding boot flag to the target partition, Y is the partition number you want to boot from
w # w to write changes
q # q for quit.

Inthis multiboot example I created 4 volumes, 3 for OS and 1 forstorage. OS volumes are first 3 ones. As you see on this fdisk print outand disk utility screen below, fdisk lists the 4 partitions of fake MBRof my hybrid GPT. You can not see the Data 2 partition (disk0s5)there because it is the 5th one. 1st partition is the hidden efi, forthis reason the OS are to be installed to first 3 volumes.

a??a??a??Simple Troubleshooting guide:a??a??a??

Attimes after installation, your system may not work properly as in - itmay restart, not boot at all or hang at a certain point. This is quitenormal and there are many ways for it to be fixed. It varies from onecase to another case. However this basic troubleshooting guide wouldhelp you to fix most of the common problems.

- If youre facinghangs, freezes or kernel panics (which is present as a shutdown symbolon the screen just after boot) type in -v (without quotes) in the bootcommand of the bootloader. This would give you verbose output which isuseful for the solution.

- Waiting for root device - It meansthat OS X doesnt see your hard disk or boot device. You can face withthis during dvd boot or after system install during hdd boot.
Changeyour SATA mode from IDE/RAID to ACHI by your BIOS setup and also youneed to check other BIOS settings that might be the problem. Thisusually fixes the problem. If not, then you can try to install using aUSB media. If still no light, then you may have an incompatible hardwarefor this OS.
If you face with this problem after installation duringhdd boot, then reinstall iATKOS L2 by selecting the SATA/IDE driversfor your hardware during install.

- White or black screen duringHDD boot - This means that OS X doesnt see your monitor properly oryour graphics card isnt working correctly. Firstly boot with -x -v toreach up to GUI, then you can search the internet for the solution foryour graphics hardware. Secondly reinstall the OS again, but this timemake sure you dont select any graphic drivers. If you can login to GUI,you know what to do so.

- Keep in mind that sometimes certainkext patches may not work for your system even though they are the samechipset but a slight variation may cause it not to work on your PC. Theresult may be a kernel panic again, reinstall back but this time dontselect any funny patches/drivers. This would resolve your problem.

a??a??a??NOTES:a??a??a??
-Burn the dmg image to a blank 4.7GB DVD (A?R ,A?RW) using Disk Utility oranother burning application on OS X and then you are ready to boot withthe DVD.
or
- Restore the dmg image to a USB media and install latest chameleon to it (google is your friend) then boot with it.

- Windowsers can burn the dmg to 4.7GB DVD using Transmac
or
-Use x-flash or some other applications to restore the dmg to USB media,then install latest chameleon bootloader to it (google is still yourfriend) then boot with it.
