OS X requires very specific motherboard environments. If your BIOS is misconfigured, your iAtkos installer will result in an immediate kernel panic (crash).

Running a “verified” iAtkos ML2 was still dangerous. Scene releases were occasionally poisoned:

AMD users need the specific AMD kernel included on the iATKOS ML2 disk. However, expect lower stability with Adobe and Apple apps due to missing SSE4 instructions.
