After several trials and failures of installing Mac OS X i've finally got it working with Zephiroth's 10.5.2 AMD rev2. I have two problems. First one, bigger, is that USB isn't working. The system works perfectly if I disable controller in BIOS. But if I enable it it stuck while booting (the gray background and Apple logo). What can i do?
My specs are down here.
Second problem is updating to 10.5.8 but i think i found solution here so me fixing USB.
Tnx

Field Note #2 @Imkantus 2010-01-29

Check if the Darwin version displayed in the System-Profiler under "Software" matches with the one of your system.kext file (right-click & show info), as this is the most usuall reason for USB not to work, before appliyng any of such "fixes" where you don't realy know what they are doing to your system...

Field Note #3 @00010 2010-01-29

Well I am talking about a Retail installation, you shouldent have differing versions of Darwin and kext files under a Retail install. With a Prepatched install you gotta know what you are installing and what you got in order to find the correct fix for the said problem.
