Added the requested ICH9 support, ALC889a audio, and fix minor bugs here and there...
Test on SSE2: YOU STILL NEED TO USE THE 8.9.1 KERNEL (included) ON SSE2 MACHINES!!!... but maybe sse2 users can find another working combination by themselves.
Repacked: 1.5 GB, compressed
is on TPB
This installer is based on the {censored} 10.4.10 release.
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 (nv8800), NVInject, NVInjectGo, ALC880/850, Yukon 88E8053, etc.
bugs fixes and new drivers additions will be handled by PPFs. Report working/not working/any issues together with your full system specs. If you have a driver for your hardware which is not included in this release contact me...I'll put it in the next PPF.
Please, do not ask me which drivers you must install for you system. First of all I would only be shure of it if I would have the same computer as you have; As most of you will imagine, I dont own a TestBench to test all the hardware. Second, dont be lazy; at least try a few times to install/search/google before ask. It would take at least a couple of re-installing until you find the right combination for your system. I'll add some 'base-generic-known-working' combinations soon here in the first post. Also be aware that you must have compatible hardware to run this; preferible Intel chipset/Intel CPU SSE3/1024 ram/supported ATI or NVidia card/ etc. Do not dream that you 5 year old p4 will do because it might not.... So if you really want/need OSX invest a little money to build a compatible system; since you're not buying 'the real thing'...
The following are tested/working install choices combinations. Still might not work with your system but it worth to use them as starting point. Since these are 'base' installations you have to add drivers for your sound, graphics, network, etc on top. The Apple Combo 10.4.11 Update is always an optional item; if you dont select it you will get a 10.4.10 installation. In the RecommendePatches menu the option 'CPUPowerManagement.kext_remover' is for using on NO-HPET systems. If your machine support HPET do not select this option. One last thing: read the documentation.

PPF1 upped at TPB.
It adds the following drivers/patches: NVInject 2.1, IONetworkingFamily.kext patched for MAYA,
IOPCCardFamily supporting PCMCIA/CardBus on laptops, CMI8738PCI Audio driver, ALC888/883 3
ports driver, Intel iwi2200/2915 wireless driver and CoreDuoTempMeter. Also it fixes some 'case
sensitive' bugs on packages paths and, most important, adds a new menu: 'Base.Install.Combos'. This option is meant for those people who dont know which packs to pick. By checking one of the combo option you will install
kernel and necessary system patches (based on the combinations above) all at once. Notice that you must add to the 'base install' drivers for your graphic, audio, network, etc.
This PPF works ONLY on the {censored} OS x86 10.4.11 Install Disc Rev 1.0 ISO image, upped at The
Pirate Bay on 12-14-2007 (md5:6484E2DE2262E04629B036A4FCD29E06).
By request I've made a PPF2 to fix the booting problem on ICH9 chipset.
