Read this thread first

If oxy cant help, then you can try with VoodooHDA

sorry i know searching is key but after trying all kinds of methods im stuck here.

this is my machine, HP Pavilion a6632f Desktop PC Product Specifications HP Pavilion a6632f Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

I flashed the 5.43 bios update then flashed the Dj Osiris 5.39 bios mod. i no longer have the hp intro screen i only have the f10 option. i'm trying to use ideneb 10.5.6 after i've installed it on the hard drive the computer is stuck on the apple logo with the white screen, if i try to boot using cpus=1 from chameleon i get the circle loader underneath the apple logo and it never loads.

Did i totally mess up my bios by flashing 5.43 from hp and then the 5.39 mod from dj osiris? someone please help!!! thanks

Just letting you know I used Windows 7 for this and while the tool did stop responding, it eventually finished and worked fine.

I've got Lion running on my new Core i7 2600k machine, a Toshiba A100 laptop and Toshiba L300 laptop; I plan on posting some tutorials when I have the free time.

I'm running 10.5.8 (update from Apple) and all goes well (except the shutdown issue which I haven't gotten to yet), and I have to 'detect display settings everytime I start up (I'm using an nVidia GeForce 6600 with dual displays). Anyone know how to make it save these settings so I don't have to do this everytime I boot up mac?

Also, for audio I use an Echo Layla 24. It's run from a PCI card in the machine. It works fine in my Mac dual G4 (PPC), and in this HP system with Vista, but I checked for OSX386 in my system profiler and it says I have no PCI cards installed. I've read every post in this thread and no one has mentioned anything about the 'no pci cards' issue. Is there a kext or fix for this? I'd really like to use my pro audio card.

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

Hey, Did you ever resolve this issue of the ECHO card not installing? I have the same problem but for the Echo Layla3G. The PCI shows up with DPCImanager as Motorola DSP56361 Digital Signal Processor. Let me know if you know how to fix this exact same problem. My card doesnt show up in System Profiler and the ECHO installer does nothing if there is no PCI card seen. Thanks

hey guys, thank you so much for the tutorial! I followed everything but I can only get into OS X by booting into safe mode. reads the cpu fine, no ethernet or good video but right now I can boot without typing -x at darwin. I have a IPIBL-LA q6600.. going crazy here for hours trying to get this working .. :/
