How would you rate your overall experience with the latest 10.5.2 Rev.2 release?

Just to know, for those that have installed the latest release...

Between 0-10, how would you rate your overall experience with the latest 10.5.2 Rev.2 release?

Comparing with Zephyroth 10.5.1 Rev.1 on my hardware I'll give rate of 2.
10.5.1 was very smooth to install, then add drivers and got almost fully working system.
With 10.5.2 Rev.2 (and Rev.1 too) the installer doesn't recognize my IDE HDD, so I have to install on SATA in AHCI mode
Included drivers doesn't work at all, ant the old ones that used to work on my 10.5.1 doesn't provide full functionality.
Problems worth to mention are - no DVI from graphic card, mount problems with DVD's, not working DNS client.
May be this all can be solved, but surely with 10.5.1 I had none of this.

Specs:
Athlon64 X2 4200+
ASUS M2A-VM HDMI
RAM 2 GB
Video ATI Radeon HD2600XT 512Mb
SATA DVD-drive Pioneer DVR-212D
SATA HDD's 160Gb Maxtor + 500Gb Samsung
IDE HDD 80Gb WD
Network Realtek 8111 integrated
Sound ALC883

My rate would probably be like a 8 or a 9, it's working pretty good here (Rev2)
Rev 1 didn't work at all because of the older NForceATA kext it had, now it's all working perfect in rev 2.
Using my system now for almost 23 hours since yesterday and i have had no problems at all.
The only problems i'm having is that i can't connect to any server, or connect to my other pc's in the network, secondly i am not able to burn any cd/dvd's, but that's a 'problem' with the NForceATA kext :)
I'm using a GUID partition table for my hard drive and i only got Leopard installed, nothing else.
Also I'm using a GFX string for my 8600GT and a SFX string for my ALC888, so audio and video is working great here :D

Here are my full specs:

AMD 64 X2 5000+ (2.60GHz)
Dell M2N61-AX /nForce 430/MCP61
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 667MHz
ALC888 [Everything Working] (SFX-EFI String)
8600GT (GFX-EFI String)
3Com 3C90x
500 GB ATA HDD (Leopard 10.5.2 Rev. 2 EFI & GUID )
250GB WD USB (Time Machine)
E228WFP 22" WideScreen LCD

I would have to give it a 9.9. Everything works.... ethernet, sound, Video card, keyboard shortcuts, able to access my Vista drive and copy/edit information what a major difference from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 rev. 1 to 10.5.2 rev.2 good job Zephyroth.

Here are my specs:
AMD 64x2 6000+
4GB DDR3
8800gts supercloacked video card
Asus Crosshair 590 sli mobo w/ pci sound card
20" HPw2007 monitor

I can't get a bootable system from either rev 1 or rev 2.

Rev 2 installer seems to give more options, in a somewhat more confusing way. For example, it shows all volumes on my pc as available to install on, not just the one I formatted to hfs+ using disk utility. The business about choosing EFI MBR or GUID is a bit confusing too.

The rev 1 dvd recognized my usb wacom, at least as a pointing device (mouse). rev 2 did not even power it up. (edit:) This issue seems to be number of devices on a usb hub... it powered up and recognized the wacom when I unplugged the apple kb (which had another mouse chained to it, for a total of 4 devices into the hub). Actually the tablet-->hub has given me a bit of trouble in xp...

edit: forgot my specs -- K9mm-v mb (via K8M800/VT8237R), 3800+ (single core), 2 x 1G crucial DDR2-800, Radeon 9550 128MB AGP, SBLive PCI, mb lan (Realtek 8201CL), 500G SATA (as ide in bios), 160G IDE slave, 20x LG DVD-RW (ATA master), ps2 kb, mac usb kb, wacom graphire 4, xpsp2 & kubuntu/gutsy on SATA, zeph rev2 /EFI-MBR on IDE (not working).

No good for me either seems sb600 support has been changed so still waiting for root device for me.

8 here. It would have been higher if it weren't for the occasional quirk or random restart from time to time - therefore stability lets the score down. Having said that, day to day use is very good with all of my apps working as expected. I'm very happy with it as I can have all the universal binary goodness and speed that comes with it as opposed to my aging PPC G5....

compared to 10.5.2 R1 a mere 6, as R1 was working flawless and R2 isnīt.
first, i got the network shares problem.
second, i canīt install efi with guid partitions. (has to be fixed manually, as in R1)

AMD x2 6000+, nforce5, 8600GT, pci nic

[bhast2]

i rate it at 9 because i didn't have very many issues
and the issues i did have were minor and easily fixed
it is my sole os on my computer

[eswenson]

I, unfortunately, have to rate it a 0. I managed to install it once on my system, and it was running fine (although at the time I still needed the DVD to boot since the default install bungled the MBR boot). However, after mistakingly installing the iPhone SDK and blowing away my abilty to boot/run (because of the CHUD tools), I have never been able to get it installed again. I have now tried virtually all the combinations of options, and cannot get the system to run. I have attempted at least 20 installs with no luck (various kernel panics or hangs).

I have a HP Pavillion TX1410US and it installs fine, but no wifi (Boradcom 4328) or sound (nvidia onboard sound). The video (nvidia go 6150) does not work with any nvinject kext and all I can get from the VGA driver is 1024x768.

Hi all,

this is my configuration :
ASROCK AM2NF3 VSTA
Athlon 64X2 4200+

I can"t boot the new AMD EFI 10.5.2 Zephyroth on my system ..; because it always freezes on the blank OSX page (which ask you to reboot) and with the -x command it freezes on the blank page (but without asking you to reboot)..
it doesn't even boot with typing -s, -x , -f or cpus=1 or "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" or any combinaisons ...
