iATKOS 1.0i Leopard 10.5.1 INTEL ONLY
Attention:
1- This DVD is designed for Intel architectures.
2- This DVD includes Apple's brand new OS Leopard 10.5.1 (9B18) which is being improved continuously. This system runs nice as we tested but many kind of stability problems on your various hardware are possible. Please report to us, your feedbacks are important for this project.
For your installation to succeed, please regard to following information:
1- Make sure that the md5 of the iso image that you downloaded matches the one that I posted below. Otherwise you have a faulty DVD. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly.
2- Please read the descriptions of the packages carefully.
3- Intel Core Proccessors have appropriate SpeedStep Technology which is stable in OS X. If you have such processor, you can enable Throttling feature using the "SpeedStep" package which u can find under Drivers section. You can not use this feature if you selected original kernel.
4- This release includes EFI emulation boot. Intel Core CPUs can use stock kernel and stock ACPIPlatform kernel extension with EFI emulation. This increases stability and performance (especially hdd performance by %50 on Leopard).
md5 of iATKOS_v1.0i.iso: 166c9e104115ac7e6d6ee0a634b91471
Installation:
1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install. Do partitioning if you need to, but be sure to select MBR type partition map. (We advice you to do the partitioning via Gparted live cd)
2- Run Darwin Boot and follow the instructions to install Darwin Boot to your target partition. In this section you will decide to use EFI emulation or not.
3- Select the destination for installation.
4- Click customize and select needed packages from menu.
5- Click Install.
Install time is about 20 minutes.

There are problems that are releated to Leopard itself and some will be releated to release of course, so think twice before asking or reporting anything..
I don't want complains, just report the problems please.
Known Issues:
1- The DVD has no integrated procedure for multi-booting. While preparing dual-boot systems or such, you might need additional steps for your OS' to boot and function properly. We recommend Gparted Live CD for such operations. You may easily find tutorials about multi-boot systems on the web.
2- If you do partitioning with diskutil then be sure mbr partition type is selected, otherwise you can not boot from that hd by bios. If you do partitioning with diskutil while having another partitions in disk, they all can be unusable. Because of all these we advice Gparted live cd for partitioning and diskutil only for erasing.
3- Jmicron Sata and IDE controllers are known to have issues with OS X.
4- OS X have major problems with ATI X200 chipset.
5- nVidia 8xxx cards are known not to work on OS X except some models (8800, 8600). It seems that most of them will work in near future.
6- This dvd may not include all the necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may be needed to be taken by the user to setup and use such components.
Unsuccessful Installation and Related Symptoms:
1- I get a blinking Cursor after Installation:
--> Your partition that OSX is instaled is not active and containing no Boot Flag.
~ Use Gparted Live cd and by using harddrive manager set "Boot Flag" to the OSX partition.
--> Your partition table type should be other than MBR (Apple type or guid)
~ Use Gparted Live cd for partitioning and set disk type to msdos or choose MBR type when partitioning with diskutil.
--> You might be using some Jmicron or such controller that is not supported.
~ Try using other controllers.
2- I get the error "com.apple.Boot.plist is not found" after installation.
--> Your partition that OSX is instaled is not active and containing no Boot Flag.
~ Use Gparted Live cd and by using harddrive manager set "Boot Flag" to the OSX partition.
--> You might be using some Jmicron or such controller that is not supported.
~ Try using other controllers.
3- I get the error "com.apple.Boot.plist is not found" while booting the DVD
--> You are probably trying to boot from damn jmicron ide.
~ You should use usb dvd rom drive, or need sata-ide convertor for your dvd rom drive. (See Known Issues #2)
Good luck, if you enjoy your Mac OS X86 Leopard System, buy a real Mac
