Hi, I am having problem with the "Lan-Freeze Issue". Right now I boot with cpus=1, which obviously make so only on core is in use. But I'm not complaining, I'm very happy that I could install Leopard at all. But it would be nice to use both cores, so is there any fix for this? Thanks!

I think there things you can do to improve it, but for me the only way to fix it was to buy another lan card. realtek 8169

Hm, okey. Does installing EFI solve the problem?

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

Info was on wiki "how to fix guid"

Can't get my geforce 7600 go to work. I've installed macos from 10.5.2 amd efi dvd (with bundled nvidia update and nvinject go). That resulted in 1024x768 resolution (native is 1280x800) and no QE. Fixing permissions on /S/L/E got me to native resolution but QE still not working. After official graphics update kernel update I get kernel panic (I suppose I have to blame NVDAResman.kext for this one, it looks like cpuid inside, but I was unable to patch it).

I've got QE working on my previous 10.4.9 installation, so I know, that technically it should be possible.

Any ideas?
