Hi,

Sorry, this isn't a bump its an update so i've decided to ditch that release (most likely because of lack of kexts/drivers in the distro) go with IPC 10.5.6

I've had a few goes at installing IPC 10.5.6 and again installs ok in about 80% of cases but still get stuck with circle with line through it for all... kernel panic?
the options I chose initially that got it to install but then not boot were:

• voodoo 9.5 with seatbelt patch
• ATI x1000 series drivers, specifically the 0x71c6,
• agpGart 2.7.1
• CHIPSET- the 'sis/via/marvell/SB one........... on this install attempt it wouldnt' install properly though which made me wonder because i have the SIS/VIA chipset so possibly something else conflicting with install.
• Audio= AC97
• ethernet wired = VIA Rhine
• May have chosen USB support or variation of but dropped after one of the non successful installs, same with software.

------------
now the thing that i'm utterly confused on is whether i actuallly need the usb patchs, SMBIOS (is recking my head ) along with DSDT. Sorry for the long winded topic but hoping someone can clear things up for me before i corrupt something badly. :S
Plans for tonight =

• voodoo 9.2 with sleep kernal - hear that has worked for my chipset on HCL somewhere
• ATI x1000 series drivers, specifically the 0x71c6,
• CHIPSET- the 'sis/via/marvell/SB one
• AC97,
• VIA Rhine................................

will let you know if goes ok but in the meantime can anyone assist with the SMbios thing and dsdts?
Thanks a mill
Lee
