    This installer provides an update to the XxX 10.4.10 operating system release including Apple's 10.4.11 update and EFI patches to allow booting of unmodified Apple kernels and kexts on compatible Intel Mac hardware. The installer includes additional drivers and allows for customization of installed components. Using EFI patches requires compatible hardware and an MBR partition scheme while unmodified Apple kernels require an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with supported chipset. Proper selection of components and partition scheme is critical for a successful installation.

    XxX OS x86 10.4.

    11 Intel Installer Readme

    This installer is based on the first XxX 10.4.10 relase. It includes all the drivers, fixes and PPFs plus the
    following new features:

    -Apple 10.4.11 combo update; as optional choice, so you can still install 10.4.10 if you wish.

    -EFI patches by Netkas & ToH. With this patches and the right hardware you will be able to run
    unmodifyed Apple's stock kernels and most of the original kexts. More info at Netkas.org. Also allow you
    to use GUID partitions (original intel mac's partition scheme).

    -A few more drivers; G80 (nv8x00), NVInject, NVInjectGo, ALC880/850, Yukon 88E8053, etc.

    Installer Screenshots:
    The Installer is fully customizable. This can be a problem if you are not shure of what to install and what
    not. In that case the default selection would most probably get you going. Read the PDFs included
    before trying anything. They are the ones from 10.4.10 but applies here too.
    Note: Back Row (appleTV) has been removed due some bugs.
    Thats how the installer's menu looks with the default
    options. Theres no EFI patches selected, and the
    8.10.1 kernel would be installed together with the
    needed kexts, and patches. You might have to add
    audio, sound and network drivers to this default
    selection.
    The 8.10.1 works very well since is compiled from
    source. Notice that the System.kext must be installed
    along.

    This screenshot shows a customization for using a


    EFI patch. As you see we dont need to use any
    extra kexts (as long as your hardware is supported
    by apple's stock kexts). In this case I left
    ApplePS2Controller.kext selected to have keyboard
    support, since apple kexts wont recognice a PS2
    keys. Same for audio, graphic cards, etc.
    You only can use Apple's stock kernels with a Core
    2 Duo CPU and a mobo with intel chipset
    supporting HPET, NX/XD enabled, etc. In that case
    you dont need to select any kernel. Otherways you
    must choose a EFI compatible kernel to use (only
    8.10.1 or 8.11.1 are EFI compatibles).
    Also notice that the EFI patch selected is for MBR
    partitions, and so must be the partition you choose
    for the installation.

    There could be problems trying to install the EFI


    patch in systems with 512mb ram or less due the
    way the installer handles postflight scripts.
    Other thing that EFI patches brings is support for graphics 'out of the box' so to speak. You wont need
    Natit, NVInject to get your GFX to work. Right now theres a few cards supported , but I guess more
    would be added in the future. This is made by inserting a string unique for your card in the 'boot,plist'
    file. Again, more details at Netkas.org (theres even a EFI forum there).

    Note about 8.11.1 by ToH: This kernel gave me kernel panic unless I boot with '-legacy' flag. You might
    need to enter this too. So make shure you select 'VerboseMode' in the 'RecommendedPatches' menu.
    This will show you if theres anything wrong and also would add 20 sec countdown for you to add any
    flags before booting. Just hit a key; you will see the darwing boot menu. Type -legacy and hit enter. This
    flag can be added to the 'boot.plist' file so you dont have to type it in every boot.

    About MBR/GUID.
    Oviously you must decide what kind of partition scheme do you want, use Diskutility/partition options to
    format your disk, and then choose the EFI patch accordly. Do not fuck it up here!

    Good luck.
