I have managed to install the OS X 10.5.2 on my AMD based PC but there seems to be some hardware issues that I cant get any help from either Insanelymac or osx86scene. I hope that there is someone here who can help me.

Basically, once instlaled, the machine boots up fine but the follow does not work

the ethernet ports (I have 2)
the 7 onboard USB's or my USB PCI card
my onboard realtek audio

The motherboard that I am using is the Foxconn C51 which is based on the Nforce 590 Chipset.

I am at a total loss, I have tried installing the drivers seperately (AppleAC97audio.kext and IONetworkingfamily.kext but these make no difference to all)

is there anything that I can do?

Thanks for the reply,

I have tried that and it did nothing, I have to diable onboard USB anyway as it I dont then the PS2 keyboard and mouse do not work for some strange reason.

thanks anyway.
