Hi guys i have Kalways 10.5.2 and after boot i have this error:
"firewire guid fffffffffffffff is invalid"
Can any1 help me with this error?

It looks like maybe you've selected too many drivers?

If this is the first time you are installing OS X on this machine, you should read carefully and select only those drivers/kexts that you know for sure you need, then fix stuff little by little.

Keep track of what you did to get everything to work. Then trash that install and do a fresh install with the experience you gained.
