alright ^_^ im bak on top, almost everything working, QE QGL, Core Image and full res are working, now I just need the correct System.kext and seatbelt .kext. Im on 10.5.8 with 9.6.0 AnV Voodoo Kernel. whatcha guys got for me? Man I had a little scare while I was stuck in a boot loop lol but I swapped out the kernels(via MacDrive 7) and it booted up alright.(no video drivers but its all taken care of) Oh and also, it STILL thinks my comp is a MacBookPro 5,1... i even installed the MacPro SMBIOS from iPC... grr any ideas on that aswell?
seriously... somebody has to have this... it will take like 3 seconds... atleast tell me what to be looking for.
