- An existing Windows computer/Mac/Hackintosh: This is the computer where you will download and set up iAtkos. Either Windows or Mac OS X will work. If you're using a Windows computer, it needs to have a DVD/Bluray burner (just about every DVD/Bluray drive nowadays can act as a burner, too).
- A Hackintosh-compatible computer with 10 GB+ of free space: This is the computer where you will install OS X Mountain Lion. It can be the same computer as the one mentioned in the previous point. If your computer already has Mac OS X Lion installed, iAtkos will just update Lion to Mountain Lion normally, without deleting any of your apps or files. However, not every computer will work with Mac OS X. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide (will be posted soon) very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. Also, OS X Mountain Lion takes up about 10 GB of space on its initial installation, so the computer where you install Mac OS X must have at least 10 GB of space in its hard drive. However, that's only the bare minimum; if you plan to install Mac OS X for day-to-day use, I recommend allocating at least 50 GB of space. It's preferred that you use a completely empty hard drive for this, but if your computer already has Windows installed on your hard drive, be sure to create an appropriate hard disk partition for OS X Mountain Lion beforehand (by following Step 1 of my guide to MBR partitions) (will be posted soon). - iAtkos ML2 (Free): iAtkos is by far the most popular distro of OS X Mountain Lion. I won't go into details, but you can download it from just about any bittorrent website by using a bittorent client (it's about 5 GB in size). The standard method of installing Mountain Lion on a PC requires you to modify a retail copy of OS X Mountain Lion with Unibeast, but iAtkos already does all of this for you. In this guide, you will write iAtkos onto a USB drive or DVD, and boot your computer from iAtkos to install Mac OS X. This guide describes how to install iAtkos ML2. You can also use iAtkos ML3, an updated version that only works with motherboards with UEFI (a guide regarding motherboards with UEFI will be posted soon). If you're not sure which version to use, just use ML2. - A dual-layer DVD, Bluray disc, or empty USB drive (8 GB or larger): If you are setting up iAtkos from Windows, you have to write iAtkos onto a dual-layer DVD or Bluray disc (normal DVDs don't work because iAtkos is slightly too large). However, if you're setting up iAtkos from Mac OS X, you can use a 8 GB or larger USB drive instead of a dual-layer DVD. You will need to erase all of the files on your USB drive beforehand, so make sure to back up its contents first. You can reuse this USB drive for normal stuff after you finish installing Mountain Lion. You cannot write iAtkos onto a USB drive from a Windows computer. If you really want to use a USB drive from Windows, install Mountain Lion on a virtual machine (a newer guide for this will be posted soon) and set up an iAtkos USB drive on there instead. Be sure to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack to view USB drives from your virtual machine. - TransMac ($48, 2-week free trial): If you're using a Windows computer to set up iAtkos, you need to use TransMac to write ('burn') the iAtkos disk image file onto your dual-layer DVD or Bluray disc. You don't actually need to purchase TransMac; the free trial works fine. Convert infopath form to pdf programmatically determinable. - Carbon Copy Cloner ($40, 2-week free trial): If you're using a Mac to set up iAtkos, you need to use Carbon Copy Cloner to write the iAtkos disk image file onto your USB drive. You don't need to actually purchase Carbon Copy Cloner; the free trial works fine. - Multibeast (Free): Multibeast is a collection of kext files (will be mentioned later) that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation. If you're using a Mac to set up iAtkos, you will also need Multibeast before the initial installation. Be sure to download the newest version 5 of Multibeast, not the older versions 3 or 4 (which are for Snow Leopard and Lion, respectively). ![]() How To Install Iatkos S3 Version 2
-----------------------------------------------------nhttp://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=12269nn-----------------------------------------------------nnnREAD PLEASE.nnWelcome all.nnThis is the iATKOS S3 Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Intel Installation DVD readme, this is the 2nd version of S3.nnThe oscar goes to Apple and OSX86 community.nnMaster support from my friend Pere.nnThanks to all OSX86 community and all the computer guys that shared their ideas, gave feedback, reported errors and even fixed them sometimes.nnAnd @zapf2000, thank you for all of your supports, cheers to ggrn.de people again.nnSpecial thanks to all of our operators for making our forum a useful place.nnAnd finally thanks to nice EvOSX86 and OSX86.T?rk people.nnnuphucknnnnAttention:nn1- This DVD is designed for Non-Apple x86 Intel CPU computers.nnRequirements for OSX86:nnMinimum: Compatible motherboard, Intel SSE2 CPU, 512MB RAM, 15GB free space on target partition, compatible VGA card.nnRecommended00100010: Intel Core CPU, 1GB RAM, 15GB free space on target partition, Snow Leo compatible nVidia 6600 or newer / ATI X1900 or newer / Intel GMA 950 or X3100 VGA card.nnMotherboard (the most important part) should be compatible for booting iATKOS S3 DVD and installing natively.nn2- This DVD includes Apple's Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.3 (10D573) installation, some basic drivers and x86 patches.nn3- IMPORTANT NOTICE - Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one posted on our website. Do this MD5 check just before mounting or doing anything with the iso image! Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly.nn4- MAKE SURE YOU TAKE NOTE OF YOUR Hardware IDs, Device IDs and device names before installing this system. This is very important. If you aren't sure what devices/hardware you own nor its IDs, then 3 options:n-Boot iATKOS S3 DVD, run 'Hardware Info' from Utilities menu and take notes.n-Fire up a Linux Live CD (ie. Ubuntu Live CD), type 'lspci -nn' in terminal and take notes.n-Windowsers, get Everest Ultimate Edition and take note of your hardware.nn5- Do a google search or surf to InsanelyMac, Hackint0sh, our forum, related OSX86 sites or wiki to find out if your hardware is supported or not. Do this for every piece of your hardware (vga card, ethernet card, motherboard etc.). OSX86 does not support a wide range of hardwares like Linux and Windows. Make sure that it is supported before you install. This is very important because after installation you may ask like 'how can I get this hardware to work' and people would simply slap you with 'it will never work'. This little search will avoid your frustration and anger! Extending your lifespan!nn6- If something goes wrong, please don't panic, Scroll down for the Troubleshooting guide. If that fails, take a screenshot (or a picture) of what went wrong and post it in the forums. Make sure you have done the 3 Revival steps and troubleshooting steps before posting in the forum!nn7- Do not forget one thing: IF THE INSTALL ENDS WITH SUCCESS, THEN MOST LIKELY IT CAN RUN ON YOUR HARDWARE. This means if you have a major booting error after installation like kernel panic, 'still waiting for root device' error, hang on grey apple screen etc. then this is mostly related to your faulty selections during install, read the instructions carefully and do a very basic install until you boot your new system with success.nn8- iATKOS wallpapers and icons are made by @denizckosar :)nnnInformation:nn- 64-bit/32-bit thing:nMac OS X Snow Leopard is a hybrid operating system which can boot in both 64-bit and 32-bit modes. This iATKOS S3 release boots in 64-bit by default, if you select the 32-bit package or any of the 32bit-only driver(s) then the system will boot the kernel in 32-bit by default.nTo load a driver/module/kext in 32-bit (i.e. a 32-bit only driver) you must boot the system in 32-bit, vice versa for 64-bit. All of the drivers and patches except the 32-b
Drivers For Iatkos S3 Mac
The installation was pretty straight-forward. I used iAtkos S3 v2, for which I had to create a USB drive (using TransMac on Windows, since I don't have a real Mac or another hackintosh). I also had to create a Chameleon USB drive, because the iAtkos one simply wouldn't boot. Wait around 20 minutes for the installation to complete. Then we are good to go with iATKOS S3 V2! The OS seems to run properly (I got sound + wireless network +touch pad working) but the screen resolution is not correct. I guess I need to find the correct driver for the ATI Radeon X1300M graphic card. I need a broadcom 802.11g wireless card driver for snow leopard 10.6.3 (iatkos s3 v2) Share this post.

Slightly damned fanfiction. I can't get it work. I would like to know if the devs know about this problem, because at this point I see 2 possibilities: 1)Rather I had to check something else in the bootloader (efi, whatsoever) where the patches, drivers and the rest is, or 2) Is a problem with the distribution.
