Thanks for all the hard work on the AMD front. After a bit of tweaking and troubleshooting I have gotten a somewhat stable 10.5.2 using Zephyroth's rev. 1 release.

There are only a couple major outstanding issues before I can consider my system truly stable.

- 2-3 times per day Firefox will crash unexpectedly. Going to youtube (or likely other flash heavy websites) seems to almost without a doubt crash it, thought not necessarily immediately. This is annoying and generally unpredictable, so I threw on Safari last night and left it to see if it too would crash (firefox likes to crash at random times during the night) and I woke up to terribly distorted graphics everywhere requiring a reboot... so hopefully fixing the firefox issue is easier. Check below for the crash log.

- Thunderbird constantly pops up errors about connection timeouts, servers not being IMAP4 servers, SMTP sending failing, etc. If I click through them and hit 'get mail' again, it usually works (same for sending mail), and running wireshark failed to capture where the packets were dying. I suspect this is likely related to the NIC .kext I'm using (built-in ethernet didn't work -- cable was always unplugged, even with forcedeth -- so I'm using a dlink card), but that's just a guess.

- VMware Fusion is also a bit flaky and has crashed out a few times. I tried limiting the memory to 1gb on the machine (I have 2gb on my system) yet OSX still crawls while I have my WinXP VM running. I have 4gb coming next week so I'll swap that out and see if that fixes any problems.

- System profiler is reporting only 1 physical core, yet 2 logical cores. Not a huge deal, but I figured that might help my VM issue if I can get it to boot and recognize both cores. I am not booting with any special boot options (like cpus=1), at least as far as I am aware.

I had been getting crashes in apps with a floating point exception, but I swapped out to the newest AppleSMBios.kext and those went away, yet the divide by zero error remains...

On a side note, has anyone been able to get surround sound working on the AL1986 chipset?

Here's the firefox crashing log:

It goes through the other threads but I'm assuming that's the problematic one.
