So, first try. I installed RC2 with SSE3 Kernel and it worked without problems. I had QE/CI directly after booting (got the install video). No sound, but that was my mistake I think. I migrated the files and settings of my old RC1 system to RC2 during installation, it worked - except of the password! I couldn't log in! Booting in my main system wasn't working, I got a Kernel panic with the 'OS not set' error like crawle had. I'm installing new actually. Is it better to use GUID instead of MBR when using EFI?

wow congrats on the upload and the good news on the similar ease like rc1. i can't wait

@ naquaada As far as I know, you HAVE to use GUID to use EFI.

No, I'm now using EFI with my old system. Strange: xbench shows lower CPU results than in RC2, but overall it's faster.

Hi All Beta Tester,

Did anyone tried to install Rev2 on a AMD based laptop.

Actually i tried to install Jas 10.4.8 on a seperate pata drive using my Compaq V6211 Laptop
The install went smooth but the real problem is its not detecting my build-in keyboard.

Please include some ktext in Rev.2 before preparing final version, so it can make laptop build-in keyboard work.

Thanks in advance ...
Waiting patiently.... Take ur full time "zephyroth"

@ DoiX: not yet, I have to repartition my HD for this. Was sitting till 4 a.m. at night on testing RC2...

Hey, can ANYBODY tell me the advantages of this EFI stuff sometimes? I ask more than one time, but never got an answer.

EFI on AMD allow us to use original kexts (ACPIPlatformExpert ... etc) for a better stability.
It allow me to use my GeForce 8800 GTS 640Mo without NVinject.
Its main purpose is to put our HackInTosh a step closer to real Macs.
On Intel, it allows us to use vanilla kernel and original kexts (Apple Updates are possible without breaking your system).
