wan/lan ok, usb ok, firewire ok, dvd ok, wireless ok with the ralink usb wireless application. not native so no network search etc. any suggestion to get native?
unfortunately no sound: i tried many installs with each of the rellevant kexts included in the installing dvd: alc888, alc889, alc97 both the azalia kexts but no luck. also tried installing the first two with OSx86Tools but again no luck.
the onboard audio is Realtek High Definition Audio and should not be a problem.
any suggestions?

how do i proceed with the upgrade to 10.5.5? can i go through the apple site or should i use x86 installers?

thank you so much for the tutorial and the extra one-on-one help with the ahci controller. it made a huge difference! i can boot xp pro 64 from my second internal sata drive with esc Boot Menu without any problems at all.

ciao,

Hi sicilynskates, to make sure whats your audio chipset, install a program in windows called everest.

Get it: HERE

go to multimedia to make sure if u have ALC888S, like mine or maybe u have another one

If you are desperate, you can try this one. Audio ALC888

and should look like this:

Now about the Update, you'll need to download this one: Desktop Combo Update 10.5.5

and follow this thread: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41912

To easily change this string: /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext (You'll see this part in the tutorial, follow this if you cant do it with the tutorial)

Do this:

In terminal:

Code:

sudo nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1

Hold CONTROL and press the W key to find /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext

Replace it with:
For DSMOS users:
CODE
/System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext

Hold CONTROL and press the O key. Then hit enter.
Hold CONTROL and press the X Key.
Type exit and enter.
Close Terminal.
REBOOT and cross your fingers!
