I actually got Leopard 10.5.2 successfully installed!

Only problem? Network and Sound are not working! (Also can't get accelerated Nvidia to work using NVinject without Kernel panics.)

Most important right now is the network. I have a Marvell 88E8056 integrated on my AMD/Nforce mobo. I found some instructions telling my to change all the 53s to a 56 and change a device ID. I also did a chown, and removed extensions.mkext and extentions.kextcache - nothing is showing up for network adapter. Any ideas? Anything I"ve missed?

P.S. - sound is ACC888 but I get an error on bootup that it wasn't installed properly
Video is Nvidia 8600GT (BFG OC) at 512MB - using NVinject as well as the NVInject installer downloaded elsewhere causes me to be unable to boot up. Deleting and repairing my fs is necessary.

Thank you for whatever help you can provide!
