err...u can update the iatkos version 1.0i to 2.0i after u installed it rite?

Wheewww!!!

After battling with this hackintosh 10.5.3 update for days, i almost win the war now...

I've been trying to update from my stable 10.5.1 (IATKOS 1.0 r2) using the downloaded official updates from Apple site.

So i jumped directly from 10.5.1 -> 10.5.3

After installing the 10.5.3 updates, i've the following problems:-
(1) System hang after install (at the grey Apple screen) - reboot a few times, then discovered the PS/2 keyboard/mouse not working, so changed all to USB keyboard and mouse - OK.
(2) No sound - this is same as 10.5.1, just install the ALC888 driver and patch it up with the HD patcher. (mine is ALC 885) - OK.
(3) No QE for GPU - just download latest Nvinstaller v.52 and run. - OK
(4) SATA drive not regconized - my DVD burner not detected no more. Previously, can detect the DVD burner and 1 SATA drive.

So i left 1 problem only...maybe fix later...really sian liao!!!!

Another weird behaviour, now cannot shutdown properly or restart. Everything seems to shutdown but it somehow can't connect to the mobo to inform to shutdown/restart. No big deal though. Just manual press reset button.

One big benefit can see...boot up time is super fast even on my slow 40GB IDE hdd... previously boot time is very slow!!  It is now even faster than UBUNTU boot up time!

This is during the pre-installation or post-installation? Do you have a firewire port or card in ur system?

Check at ASUS website lah.

Your board got firewire (IEE94), which is probably different chipset than the apple's one and not supported. Can you disable your firewire in BIOS?

You are using IATKOS? If still cannot maybe you can use Leo4allv3...coz that has tons more drivers than the IATKOS version.

I say a 20GB partition should be enough if you don't intend to put a lot of things in your hackintosh partition, installation will takes about 5GB+ .

Can try, disable everything that is not used...COM port, Parallel Port, whatever you can think of.

But are you getting the same error message now?

The Apple grey background only last a few minutes when i install...

If all else fails, dump AMD and migrate to Intel C2D platform....sure can.

Why so scare ler...just backup your stuff and try lah. On top of the recovery disk, make sure you backup your important data to the DVDs also. In case your recovery bombs, you still have your data.

I'm making a guide now, but dunno when complete. There's tons of guides on the net, just google for it. It took me 1 week plus to get everything running smoothly.

EasyBCD must work with Vista. However, if you use XP, there is a work around by copying the C:\windows\boot folder from VISTA and put it into your XP.

I've tested it and EasyBCD regconized the VISTA boot loader files in XP, although i haven't really install MacOSX and try it out yet on my laptop.

But i've used EasyBCD on my desktop from VISTA. Works great.

I would suggest dump Acronis O/S selector. Lots of people report it doesn't works. But Acronis True Image rocks though, can even image my Mac partition and restore it.

I tried install teh IATKOS on my AMD laptop...no go...hits the same error as someone here....hangs at "Jettisson linker".

Downloading Kalyway and Leo4All now...hopefully Kalyway can finish downloading today..

Yeah, i heard it got some problem with the 8 series...wonder if it's work okay for 9 series...thinking to upgrade GPU later.

Have you try NVInject .52? Can give it a shot and see.
