c) This installer includes Clover UEFI Bootloader. b) This installer includes Apple's Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (Build 12D78). I'm guessing it has something to do with my laptop because my older Leopard distros are not working either, which is very bizarre because there are users with identical specifications posting working results ( here). 1- a) iATKOS M元U is a UEFI based OSX86 installer release and is designed for Non-Apple 64-bit Intel CPU UEFI computers. The bootloader starts fine but when I select the usb drive to boot (it is recognized) my laptop restarts without any warnings. Second: I expanded the image file to a usb drive with transmac and booted it using a mac bootloader ( this). When I do this (F8 or something else) the installer freezes and doesn't respond, so there is no way to go into verbose (-v) or safe mode. The iATKOS start shows up, then I have to press F8 for boot options or any key to continue. I downloaded the iATKOS L2 distro (I wanted to run Lion :-) ) and tried various options for installing.įirst: I burned the image (checksum verified) to a dvd and booted off it. I had a perfectly working Snow Leopard setup running so I am not a complete newbie to this thing.

I recently bought a new laptop and today I figured it was about time to install OS X, as I did with my previous one.
