Onboard LAN not working.

Onboard firewire detected but doesnt seem to recognise when my powerbook is connected (either running or in target disk mode).

GMA950 fully working.

Onboard sound (sigmatel 9223) working with a hacked kext.

Hey Munky i have an intel d945gtp (only 3 audio jacks), latest bios and a d925 processor (using onboard video). I am installing via ide cables, installs always seem to go fine. I've tried 4 releases and they always get stuck in reboot loops, ive tried several fixes, and a few kernels, but they always end up with kernel panics.
I'm hoping you can tell me of a working installer and checkbox combo that you know of for your build

Should I switch over to SATA and ditch ide maybe?

Ive spent at least 20 hours trying to get this sucker working :/
