Here is my problem: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic… ↗
My update went HORRIBLY wrong, causing me to reinstall from the stoneage. I had my DSDT.aml properly patched (btw, is it supposed to be /dsdt.aml or /DSDT.aml ?), Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel, and I updated to 10.5.6 by installing via pacifist so I could avoid some kexts (the usual culprits, Dont Steal Mac OS X [even though it's blocked by the…
I heard that I should have no problem if I don't update System.kext to 9.6.0 from 10.5.6. However, I was really traumatized by my experience with 10.5.6 and having to start from scratch again (and I mean barebones 10.5) that I really don't want to risk it again... >_<

Yeah, I got the issues resolved when I was testing iPC with pcwiz.
The first issue was with my graphics card: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=142061… ↗
Once that was fixed, I found this out: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=142082… ↗
The second I've simply come to realize that it's an incompatibility with my old card and a new core component with 10.5.6 while getting use of it still with 10.5.5 kexts. Updating my card to a "newer" (lol, AGP) will more than likely solve both issues.

Got it fixed yet?
the System.kext update won't matter and depending on the kernel you'll use, just be careful to include the proper kext files to avoid any KP's...
note: DSDT is not implemented on 10.5.6 final release... only the beta... so you don't have to worry about this.
