I really need someone with AMD to test me out , if you're willing to lend the PC in ense that I can control it remotely , let me know. I need to gather few things from AMD , especially a dsdt table

InteliMacPro , i really need your dsdt and your video bios dump if possible. I am on 8600GT and pentium d. So I am playing guessing game , as I am assuming few things are constant

Plus mysql table is giving me problems. I am looking for someone whos good in mysql as well.

I am working on another build of AMD , dont worry

Sure i can do that. How do I dump my video bios?

Take a look at NVEnabler thread over at projectosx. Give that a go , remove efi strings and let me know if NVEnabler does the trick for you. If it does then we would have a chance of getting 260GTX to work and yes. NVEnabler could dump your rom as well :P

Plus I've added a new version for AMD folks. Hopefully it works for them :P

Removed my post, since I was able to fix my problem.

ok, this is the 3rd time I've had to bother you. I still can not get more than 1gb of ram and 1 core of my Q6600 working. Because I can only boot with empire efi cd, or if I take the com.apple.boot.plist from the cd. I tried removing the boot flags maxmem and cpu=1. Tried removing, different kexts. Tried editing smbios, com.apple.boot.plist. I think I have a working DSDT. I just cant figure this out. Is what happens, is when I boot the screen goes to a blue screen with the mouse pointer, sometimes it will flash to my desktop quickly then flash back to blue, then black screen. Everything works fine when I limit the ram and cpu, with your boot.plist. Sucks not using all my memory, and other cores though. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well in that case you need to fix DSDT regarding your cores , try doing step by step. First dont limit the ram and check if it boots. Then try removing cpus=1 limit. You'll have to do step by step. the reason why I made it such a way is to prevent crappy Motherboards with poorly written BIOS to get some weird issue. This can be worked on once you've installed OSX. I know DSDT is not something to easy to fix. On the other hand do give VodooTSC a chance , it might fix core syncing issues that you're facing as well.

@ pipko - could you use pastebin instead. I can't download it from rapidshare

I have a dell 435MT with 4850 Radeon card; I believe It probably has a Jmicron SATA inside of it because I get "Still waiting for root device" error; I've tried changing the ports around and still nothing :S

Any reccomendation on what to do? I can install Leopard off iAtkos 7 distro for some reason but this doesn't work :/
