The system is up and running. Vanilla Kernel on AMD Phenom with no errors. Stable with cpus=3. I have to use rd=disk0s1, but that's not so important.
I am working on Ethernet, wich is the most important now. I wanted to install the nForcEthernetDriver, but i got an error about iopcifamily.kext. I updated the iopcifamily.kext to version 2.5.6 and the error disappeared, but i have still no Ethernet. I don't know if the kext's are loaded, but it doesn't seem so. I have attached the system.log and the PCI device text info file from Pacifist. Maybe my ethernet card is supported, but the device id is not entered inside the driver. I have the mcp78. The driver should work.
Please have a look someone. I have to boot always into the Winshit to read the forum. I am able to add the device by myself but tell me how.
