Quote:Release Notes

Please make sure to read these notes very carefully!
We cannot be held responsible if you do not read the requirements.

1. Choose only what your system has and nothing else
2. DO NOT select more than one driver of the same type!!
   For example, do not select 2 SMBIOS kexts and do not select 2 AppleHDA audio drivers, etc.
   This will in many cases cause the install to fail
3. If you kernel panic on startup then try doing a bare install with only the essentials (no extra drivers)
4. If you get a kernel panic screen and want to see what caused it, please boot in verbose mode (-v boot flag at the F8 boot prompt)
5. Default bootloader installed is PC_EFI v9, other bootloaders are available under "Alternate Bootloaders"
6. Default kernel installed is 9.6.0 Vanilla kernel
7. IF YOU ARE NOT INSTALLING VANILLA, PLEASE REMEMBER TO PICK A CHIPSET DRIVER TO AVOID GETTING "STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE"
8. If you are nForce owners, need to pick one of the nForce chipset drivers, recommend trying the "AppleNForceATA Test" first!
9. IF YOU INSTALL VOODOO 9.5.0 KERNEL YOU MUST INSTALL 9.5.0 (10.5.5) SEATBELT.KEXT
10. If you are on an AMD or SSE2 System you MUST choose the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel under Kernels.
11. Voodoo kernel has a built in opt-code patcher so no binary patching is required
12. On the first boot make sure to boot with the -f boot flag!
    Do this to make sure that all installed kexts are loaded properly. It is only required once.
13. If you installed the Chameleon with Boot Image support bootloader, and you want to activate the iPC OSx86 boot image,
    then boot your system and run the following command in Terminal:

14. If your system's sound does not work even after installing the proper sound drivers there may be an issue with the System Preferences.
    Go to System Preferences >> Sound >> Output >> and make sure that "Internal Speakers" is chosen and not Headphones or something else.
15. If you are using an NVIDIA video card older than the 6xxx series (e.g. FX5500),
    you may not be able to boot with an injector installed (-v will show the boot process hang after the injector probes the card).
    You will then need to install the "NVkush Complete Package" to get video working, this contains working kexts for these cards from 10.5.5.
    Even then, though, there may be graphics glitches (issues with older cards).
16. DO NOT install the iPC OSx86 Base System over an existing Base System!
    This may cause the install to fail while installing boot.efi. Its always best to do a fresh install.

1. Mirror links are interchangeable.
2. If you can't extract downloaded RAR files..
   Install QuickSFV, double click on z0r-iPC.10.5.6.ppf2.md5, then redownload the file(s) which have error/unmatched MD5 hash.
3. Burn the ISO (image-to-disc) onto high quality DVD±R media with slow burn speed (2.4x-4x)
4. Make sure to know the full specs of your hardware, use Everest.
5. Reread the release notes and review the custom install screen, this will make easier to select the right drivers and patches.
6. Usually it will take a couple of try-outs until you get with the right selection for your hardware.
7. As start is best to install ONLY the items selected by default adding (if needed) an optional kernel (only one) and chipset support.
8. Search is our best friend
