Wait until Zeph's next release comes out. We are all patiently waiting for it. The suspense continues to increase,

@aljonama

The problem with your install is the SATA internal drive... if you don't mind buying a simple USB to IDE/SATA Cable Adapter, <a href="http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic… ↗">here is a simple step-by-step guide for ya</a>. The cable will allow you to manipulate the drive externally so we can get the kexts done correctly using 10.5.1. After you get the kexts changed you can re-hook your drive back up inside your case.

(By the way... what kind of connection is your DVD/CD-ROM drive connected to your motherboard?... if it is SATA as well, just know that it probably will not work after this guide due to the kext file you will be using)
