You can add to the machine config:
<ExtraDataItem name="CustomVideoMode1" value="1920x1080x32"/>

+edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist: "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32"

I still can't get it working. iDeneb 5.5 stucks after bootloader stage... when it loads "Apple logo".

Which Mac OS X distro you using ?

+edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist: "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32"

how should it be: with <string> or with <key>?

I use iDeneb 1.5.5, at first it didnt work, but now after reinstaling everything works fine, iAtkos 1.5.7 worked before iDeneb but kernel panic almost every time, now it doesn work at all.

how did you manage to run snow leo?
What flags do you use on booting?

[notbad]

well, I got working iAtkos 10.5.7 and iPC 10.5.6. Both work without crashing till now.
when I get snow leo i will try that also.

i successfully installed the iDeneb 1.6 lite, however i am unable to boot after install.

using -v it is hanging at the :

Starting Darwin x86

any suggestions on bootflags to try would be great, my chipset is i7 so not sure if i need to use a different kernel but having trouble finding a listing of ones included with that distribution.

[notbad]

try using 1 virtual cpu

[ischliky]

ive set it to 1 cpu, tried 1 2 and 4 with no determinable change.

[notbad]

try -x or -f, i will also try iDeneb 10.5.8 Lite

Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard I'm trying to install, but it doesn't boot. freezes at Apple logo.
-v says :

Code: Select all

Patched DMI Table.
No DSDT replacment found. Leaving ACPI data as is
Starting Darwin x86

any ideas? maybe i should install DSDT from iatkos 10.5.7?

[notbad]

after reinstalling Snow Leo I get fatal no bootable medium found. no solution yet.

[notbad]

iDeneb 10.5.8 works for me, when installing i have chosen the default preferences + ACPI fix and ApplePS2 old. got some panics but after several reboots i got to the desktop.

[notbad]

heres a small how to for iAtkos 10.5.7:

1. create a new machine: freebsd, ICH6, IO APIC, 2 Cpus, PAE, VT-x, Nested pageing. and close VBox.
2. edit the machines .xml file, enter this line: <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal2/SupportExtHwProfile" value="on"/> save and exit
3. open VBox and add the .iso file and start the machine, it should lead you to the installation.
4. when customizing leave everything by default and install.
5. after installation you may face some problems: if it crashes - in the settings make just one cpu, then you can get an error that you keyboard is not connected - then repeat step 3 and in the customizing section DESELECT everything and enable one of the PS2 drivers and install them if it says that installation failed dont be afraid everything is fine, just restart.

that's it. now it should be working. still I can't get internet and sound, but still trying
