First of all I'm sorry for my english.

I have problem with Leopard (Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD installation)

installed:
Dawrin 9.0.0
Additional drivers:
Nforce
NVinject

Overall pc is very stable and I don't have any problems exept Downloading large files (for example 3gb, 7gb etc.) and unpacking large files, also I'm unable to save any work in Photoshop (only when file is BIG). It's strange because I can copy 50GB data from 1 disk to another, but I'm pretty sure the reason is only when program wont write file on disk.

In torrent:
when downloading process is around 700 - 900mb
when recheck downloaded files - crash (somtimes frezze somtimes screen od death )

In photoshop:
when saving large file - crash (somtimes frezze somtimes screen od death )
smaller files no problem

Unpcak:
when unpacking it frezze or screen of death around 700-900MB done

If there is anyone who had same problem please help

Best regards for everyone.

Thanks for fast reply,

Before this REV I chcecked 10.5.1 from Zephyroth with manual kext inject for nForce and Nvidia Graphics. But have more problems and probably I dont check this issue.
So Rev2 is very smooth and works great, except LARGE files issue.

Author Update #2 @20db 2008-02-25

Of Course I'll try. And coming back with news.

Anyway anybody who has the same problem please fell free to write about that here.

Author Update #3 @20db 2008-02-25

I almost forgot. Earlier version of Me Devil nForce kext doesn't recognize SATA drive. Without that I have nothing.

SOLUTION FOR LARGE FILE - YEEAAAA,

I Found Soulution on insaneleymac, I try and work perfect, now I'm able to unpack file 8gb, or save photoshop work above 1,9GB, when file is more than 2gb, Photoshop excuse me and send to topic about saving files bigger than 2GB, but still work, NO CRASH NO SCREEN OF DEATH

SOULTION: read this post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87267&… ↗

only one thing what I did is set ------------- memory hole mapping in BIOS on mobo to DISABLED - -----------------------------

Now I have perfect install, almost ... only nforce lan doesn't work, audio only output, but for me is perfect.

Author Update #5 @20db 2008-02-26

This solution works with AMD platform, for now me it works, if for someone will work please write about it.

I have idea for Intel chipset based Hack intosh.

My colegue have similiar issues, solution for him was delete some jamriconxxxxxx.kext for intel chipset SATA drive, you'll need to find on google.

If those issues weren't related to your drives it still might be an idea to give the older medevil kext a try. What do you have to lose?

Field Note #2 @Ianxxx 2008-02-25

I'm at a loss what to suggest, try googling, or search insanely mac?

Field Note #3 @zikman 2008-02-26

for me it doesnt work...I still have kernel panic
