DoiX: These are so problems which aren't so easy to solve. My NEC ND-3540A DVD-RW drive is not detected in BIOS but it works without problems in MacOS, I even can burn with it.
What do you have 4 a controller? My onbard Siliconimage SiI3114 Raid Controller was shown on Parallel-SCSI devices

@ zephyroth

Is it possible to run the Rev.2 using VMWare?

Greetings

Well, everyone else is doing it so....

AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+ (Socket 939)

Can I beta too?

Why don't some one release it on Rapidshare, so we all can test the darn thing? Thus it would be perfected faster. And no one except for the uploader would lose some bandwidth and time. You can password protect the thing and PM the codes and links to earlier members only. I want to see how much of your work is going to work on my 6150 go notebook and x1250 690G desktop. And figure out a way to modify the kext to get it to work. I am not hoping the nvidia 6150 go will work at all, because the way it was designed and was especially designed for HP. but if the x1250 was somewhat based on the x700 I am sure there should be a way to make it work fully, because even thought it uses shared memory its was designed to at least to the OS as seen as a separate card, attached to PCI-e x16 slot. Thus avivo and can operate independently even with another ATI avivo compatitible card inserted allowing for upto 4 monitors to simultaniously operate. The motherboard I have is the M2A-VM HDMI, shitty board, it was a M2A-VM at first than, it was fucked up and they gave me this as a replacement, but without the HDMI card attachment. But at least I got a firewire plug now. Never really used it because it really suck with all the bad BIOS implementation. After like 7 months Asus finally got it right with the newest BIOS 1604 beta. Now it is usable. Like a MB should be. I aleady have a hackintosh built with Intel, was using TOH and not all things was recongnised until I did a fresh installation with Kalyway's Leopard release. Now even thought most of the stuff works, I still cannot shut down fully, I can restart, it can't sleep using vanilla kernel and it kernel panics all the time. Especially went I decompress my downloads. Every single time. I don't know if it is because it doesn't like my Q6600 or what, but I am frustrated, Don't see anyone else having this problem. I am still trying to figure out how to do the EFI-GFX thing netkas has introduced. Supposely gets all video cards working and even full audio. But everyone in the osx86scene forum seems to be speaking Martian or something. No step by step guide, justa bunch of gibberish to me. Tiger was so much easier to mod, when all I have to do was buy part close to the real thing as possible. But once you get a taste you want all your computers to run as much mac as possible and as powerful as you can afford. Just to show the world that we can build a faster Mac Pro for 1/4 of the price of the real thing.

Info: Paragon NTFS isn't working on my systems, neither on Tiger nor on Leopard.

Vinbuntu --->

Imagine if I release it on Rapidshare. Imagine the number of people who will ask me the password ...
And how can we organize us in order to have clean reports if thousands of persons test it ?

I think it's not a good idea and by seeing how much persons ask to beta test I believe the majority just hope to see it working on their system.

So a few number of beta testers with different systems (representative of the majority of AMD systems) is a good way to improve Rev.2.

Zephyroth:

For upgrade and repairing reasons: How about about a bootable CD which does not contain the system, only drivers and maybe updates. It should be possible to deinstall drivers from there if something goes wrong during the main installation. It should be optimized for a really quick boot, so no language selection and so on, a direct jump into the drive selection menu and then the menu for optional installations. The only Utilities are Terminal and Disk Utility, maybe prepared with Xslimmer (intel code only) to save space. If it fits to CD size it's also easier to download than a new DVD image. Would this be possible?

Yes that's a good idea but I can make a distribution package to update the spare partition (on which you have restored Beta 2) too. This will be more easy to do.
This way after update if all goes well all you'll have to do is to recreate a bootable ISO.
