Bugs[edit | edit source]

Installation[edit | edit source]

ACPI[edit | edit source]

On some computers and virtualizers, ACPI must be turned off or setup might crash while loading.

CMPXCHG8B detecting[edit | edit source]

The x86 version of this build will crash on newer CPUs because of a CMPXCHG8B detecting issue with the bugcheck code 0x3E (Often showing no bluescreen because of a triple fault and/or the immediate overwrite of the bluescreen with garbage data).
