@psycadet. IM so close i can smell it
I think your smelling your DVD drive burning from installs. Haha.
But seriously, You could try installing an older version first, like leopard, and from their use a retail DMG.
Yes, That way, you can easily fix any kexts. Leopard has more drivers right now that might work.
