Installation Instructions:
1. Load iAktos V7 DVD

2. At prompt, press F8 and type in cpus=1 (Otherwise, you are not able to boot up)

3. Customised Options
a. X86 Patches -> ACPI -> X86 ACPI

b. X86 Patches -> Disabler (uncheck, it is checked by default)

c. Drivers -> VGA -> Intel -> EFI String for Intel

d. Drivers -> System -> SATA/IDE -> AHCI
(must set bios with SATA = AHCI, else you will get "waiting for root device
error during boot up later after finish the installation)

e. Drivers -> System -> IntelSpeedStep -> Choose both

f. Drivers -> System -> USB -> checked

g. Drivers -> System -> Sound -> AppleAzalia
( I choose the default Voodoo HDA driver before and ran into problem during boot up)

g. Drivers -> System -> PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard -> Apple PS/2 Driver

The rest just leave it as default.

I am able to make it work with the above installation, network proven working.


However, it tooks quite long to boot up
Going to test installing Xcode.
