For PS2, you could try VoodooPS2controller.pkg version 0.98
Uninstall applePS2 and appleAPCIps2nub if they are in /S/L/E
OSX would go through the last error if you perform permission repair prior to first boot in some case.

Ill try that when I get home. Thanks. Then on to finding out why it takes 10 minutes to boot.

Note: I am buying a USB keyboard after work. Do i even need the ps2 drivers loaded? I won't be using ps2

That is a bit too long, as it should be about a couple of minutes, even without tuning.

USB keyboard is nice. You're in this side of the PC world, and there're only some can escape the PS2 hunt.

okay so it works. i booted the computer with no keyboard attached. then when it loaded into OS X, i plugged in the USB keyboard. works perfectly. still no graphics, but everything else seems to be working. i just wonder why it takes 6-10 minutes to boot.

i will admit once its in the OS, it responds as quick as windows. BIG difference over the Dell 'Mac" i'm using right now.

there is no way to get my powerhouse 7950GT using QE/CI in OS X?

okay i screwed something up... now it wont boot in either safe mode or regular. installed a driver mentioned on wiki, and now it wont boot up. in regular mode i get a black screen (showing that the video card is getting power; in safe mode i get a blue screen and nothing else.
-nevermind, just booted into mac os x in safe mode as im typing. deleting NV kexts, gonna do more research first.

What NV kext that you used?
From wiki, 7950 need NVinject and a ROM flash?
Try NVinject 0.2.1 first, maybe?

nVidia Universal Installer, and Punk s92 nVidia Installer 3.0 beta. Both are the names of the files. I'd rather not flash the rom... For obvious reasons... Lol.
Though with a flashed rom, would windows still boot?

okay, didnt get any drivers for the video card working. i decided to give up for the time being and set up the dual operating system. i hooked my sata stuff back up, and mac os x loads fine. even reads the windows partitions. i rebooted, and tried loading into windows at chameleon, and when it started it gave me the error :BOOTMGR is missing. press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer.

i looked it up, and followed the instructions on how to fix the boot record. the OS repair/recovery isnt finding any operating systems. I go into the command prompt, and do a BOOTREC /ScanOs, and it finds it on D. so i type 'bootrec /fixboot' and it says there are no compatible file systems on the current partition. even though i am in the D drive, according to the command prompt. so i fixed the MBR. rebooted.

now it wont boot anything except the cd. if I boot from the hard drive, it stalls at the screen BEFORE chameleon.. says 'verifying DMI Pool data... K8 NPT Data Change... Update New Data to DMI!........' which it has ALWAYS said.. but it will go no further. any thoughts?
