Setting up BIOS is very important to use hackintosh, without proper Bios settings your computer will not boot Mac OS X
Read the article Hackintosh BIOS Configuration to setup your BIOS
Now Boot from the Pen drive
Chameleon Boot-loader will be loaded

AMD, Haswell and HP Laptop users may have to use custom kernel in order to make the system boot & work properly
AMD Users : /amd
: /amd1
: /amd2
: /amd64
: /amd32 (it is actually a 64 bit kernel)
: /amdfx (can also boot non FX Processors)
4th Generation Processors / Haswell Users : /haswell (This also fix the Instant Reboot)

LGA2011 CPU / X99 Chipset : /x99 or /x99x [ try to add cpus=1 boot-flag too ]
HP Laptops with Intel Processors : /hp or /hp1

To use a custom kernel you just have to type the correct kernel name listed in above example to Boot with AMD kernel

just type : /amd

Now boot From the Volume Yosemite-Zone

There is a possibility of Instant reboot for custom kernel users as the kernel may not install automatically but 99% of users doesnt need this
step and safely ignore this
to fix it after Installation Do Not Reboot Open Terminal
I assume that the kernel you used as haswell and The Installation Volume where you installed Mac as Mac OS
(Replace following code variables with appropriate kernel and volume name)

cp -f /Volumes/"Image Volume"/haswell /Volumes/"Mac OS"/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

rm -rf /Volumes/"Mac OS"/System/Library/Caches
kextcache -u /Volumes/"Mac OS"Then reboot

Sometimes if the USB flash light stopped after a few seconds you may have to use the following BootFlags

USBBusFix=Yes Enable the EHCI and UHCI fixes (disabled by default).

EHCIacquire=Yes Enable the EHCI fix (disabled by default).
UHCIreset=Yes Enable the UHCI fix (disabled by default).
USBLegacyOff=Yes Force USB Legacy off (disabled by default).

If it stops in a line where is says PCI Configuration Begins

try either one of the following BootFlags
npci=0x3000
npci=0x2000
Gigabyte MotherBoard users should use PCIRootUID=1 & it may solve "PCI Configuration Begins" in some cases

Sometimes booting with -x (Safe Mode may fix graphics glitching issues)
If your mother contains one of the following CPU Sockets use the appropriate BootFlags

LGA 2011: -v cpus=1 npci=02000 (or use) -v cpus=2 npci=02000

LGA 1366: -v cpus=1 npci=02000 (or use) -v cpus=2 npci=02000
LGA 1150: -v npci=02000
LGA 1155: -v npci=02000

When you are at the OS X Installation Screen

Select your language
Open Disk Utility

Customizing the Installation Packages

Customizing may be required to resolve errors
If you have booted with any special flags example like USBBusFix=Yes, npci=0x2000, .
then select the relevant package for it or else you have to use the same boot flag after the Installation

Chameleon will be installed as default boot loader but you can choose Clover if you can manage it or you can give it a try
Clover UEFI is not recommended in this release because it cause some issues in many computers
Network and Audio Kexts (Kexts are drivers) will be auto installed
Graphics may become a problem if your Graphics card or Graphics chipset is not supported
you may end in Black / Grey Screen or Monitor Turn Off Issue to resolve it ReInstall Yosemite with all the Backup Graphics Extensions package
selected (If you want to resolve it without a reinstallation you can use the grafix solution found in this article click Here)
Most of the Chipset kexts are installed to ensure it boots in every system without trouble
FakeSMC is the most Required kext for Hackintosh Do not unselect it
After Customizing Click OK and Select Continue to Install
After the Installation The System will Reboot
If you run into any Installation Error Save the Installer Log to a Some Pen drive and Create a new topic in the forum (It is very important to
attach the Installer Log)

In some rare cases you may loop in user account creation menu or suddenly you will be asked for username and password
It is a program that runs after 10 minutes automatically to check if you have created the user account successfully
if it detects you have created an account it will Exit but if you havent created an account with in 10 min or if you are stuck in account
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

creation loop, Keyboard not found problem just wait 10 minutes

After that a windows will ask username and password
Username: root
Password: niresh
Enter these value Login create an administrator account and use the created administrator account for your daily needs
using OS X as root is dangerous
Note that the password will be changed to niresh only if you dont create the account with in the 10 minutes from boot
otherwise the password remains as same as the one which apple set for root account
About the rumors:
Some may say Distros are bad may contain malware, spyware that may be true
but Hackintosh.Zone previously called Niresh has been trusted for 4 years by the community of more than 160K Members
If you want to check if it contains some bad malware you can just check it by Installing Little Snitch and Monitor your Internet Traffic
This distro contains some additional kexts which you may not require and some may say that why install unnecessary kexts & stuffs
those additional stuffs be inactive if your system doesnt have the hardware but what if your mother board gone damaged and replaced with a
new model, you can just simply plug the hard disk and run the OS X as same as before without Reinstalling and setting up entire computer
once again
The Time of Installing Mac with a Retail DvD Image is gone, This is your Easy choice
if you trust me Im always with you
I have spent a lot of sleepless nights while making this Installer
If this Installer helped you please consider a contribution to support further developments and maintaining Hackintosh Zone website (The
current dedicated server cost 100$/month)
by donating with PayPal with USD or GDB
