Guys,

I've finally got shutdown working now. As soon as I get sleep working I'll post instructions.

Peace

Here is a bootcd I put together.

It's an .iso so just burn it on a cd or dvd at the slowest speed.

Remember to either have a snow leopard restored on a usb drive or have an actual snow leopard 10.6 disc.

Boot from the bootcd. once at the bootloader take out the cd and insert the dvd or if you have an usb select that (be sure to plug it in before boot).

Let me know

any luck with the guide yet?

where can i order another internal hard drive and that wifi card from? part numbers?

ok, i am at a standstill...

6860 fx
brand new hard drive (2nd one, windows will be on the 1st one)

i have snow leopard disk to work from....(10.6)

after reading all these threads im so damn confused on how to procede, It sounds like i need 10.5 install disk? i dont know
i will try to do a walk through if i can but i doubt it.


edit: ok nevermind. i used a bootdisk from ps2pk and had a snow leopard disk to install 10.6 straight off that, worked great, didnt have to install 10.5 then upgrade or anything like that.
also used a bundle from ps2pk called gateway files, now i have sound and all.

currently working on trying to get it in the options to boot without using the boot cd

with some help from ps2pk using his bootdisk worked great for the install.
he gave me some gateway file so the keyboard and mouse and sound is working fine.

i thought i was having boot issues but i had to go into bios and make my other hard drive bootable...duh.. now the boot sequence seems to work fine.

-still have issues with shutdown and my webcam is weird. it will light up the "Gateway USB 2.0" webcam and seem like it takes a picture but its all black..
-still have issus with sleep not waking up

all i know of at the moment.
