Fantastic work Andy!!

I have the 10.6.5.v1 kernel running on a dual processor Opteron 8 core server board. Used the SL10.6.2 Hazard CD for the install and replaced the 10.6.2 kernel (which didn't work well) with Andys 9.17-v1 binary.

Boot option: -force64 arch=i386 busratio=12 and the patcher =-50 (probably to high).
Only one outstanding issue that I can not find a solution for and that is the Realtek ALC880 sound ship.

Absolutly great work and many thanks to Andy and all who worked on this.

If anybody has an idea for the ALC880 problem.....

Hardware:

ASUS KFN5-D SLI server board, Nvidia MCP55 chipset, Two Opteron 2358SE 4 core (each), 8 gb Kingston ECC REG DDR2-667, Nvidia 8600GT vidio, WD 36gb SATA Raptor, WD 40gb IDE ATA, Realtek 8139 net chip, ASUS DVD +/-R/RW Optical IDE, and the crappy ALC880 sound thing.

BIOS options: Used defaults.

SL 10.6 installs on both the parallel and SATA drives. I mention this because of reading that there have been parallel HD install problems.

I'm new to OSX so please excuse any ignorance. With the help of the forum I'll get over it.

cheers
