i have decided to conclude my Intel osX86 journey as it seems to be much more work then i expected and i seem to only be able to get a running distro if i use a osx86 distro and i cant do a retail install on it. what makes it even more frustrating is that i cant even do intel OS X updates on my intel machine! with the retail vanilla kernel it freezes and with the latest voodoo kernel once i update and reboot it hangs at the blacklisting personalities "Dont_Steal_Mac_OS_X" i dont know if this is because i am using standalone updates to get to 10.5.5 instead of the combo update but ive given up.

Even when i did have a working 10.5.2 distro working the sound drivers and ethernet drivers which were supposed to be designed for P35 motherboards didnt work!

So now im on a mission to get my AMD machine working as well as i can until i buy myself an iMac atm my main problems are my ethernet and my sound drivers, if anyone could help me ide be greatly appreciative, i have an nForce 4 motherboard and according to the booklet i have a sound card running ALC850 Codec and onboard lan called a "VITESSE 8201 phy" if anyone knows which kexts i need to make this work i would be extremely greatful. At the moment i have an ALC850 kext running but it doesnt work very well, the sound cuts out sometimes when i pause iTunes and only works after i toggle the mute button and even that doesnt work sometimes and i have to restart my computer, and my ethernet freezes my computer sometimes as well, im using either the "nForcEthernetDriver" or "Forcedeth" its been so long since ive tried to get it to work i forgot which ones i installed.

I hope someone will be able to help me
