Yes. I've tried that to no avail. It seems to just sit there with the progress bar not moving for 20min every time I try to use Disk Utility. I even tried using Disk Utility on a powerbook G4 to fix this issue, and using Mac Drive to reformat, which apparently was successful, but the drive is still not recognized when I get to the install screen. However, I can repartition or reformat any other ATA based drives either Parallel or Serial.

I can use any other disk reformatting/partitioning software (i.e. acronis or paragon) to create other partition types, but can't seem to put the HFS+ on this drive (though it worked once). I'll keep playing with it and let you know if I get it working. In the mean time is there a work-around for the IOKitWait?

you need to search for the ps2 kexts then get kext helper this takes the hardwork out of it

Hi to all

just in 20' I managed to go from empty to fully installed and almost everything working

The installer finished and on reboot I got the firewire, the 2 LAN cards (nvidia + marvell), the usb disk (ntfs formatted), usb keyboard/mouse (logitech).

many thanks to LawlessPPC for the excellent work!

Still have the major issue: ATI HD3450. Currently it goes as 1024x768 and should be 1280x1024. In system identification I get "ATI" and the pci ids, "Core Image: Software" and "Quartz Extreme: Not supported".

So here are my questions:

a) do you have any news on the HD3450 driver? Will it ever be produced? Who is working on it?
b) what is the situation on Apple System Update? I already got it flashing once - do I proceed with updates normally or will it brick my system?

Thanks a lot for your answers

last i heard was hd3450 upport was invomplete try netkas site for more info. Unless you start running the voodoo kernel you will need to patch updates before you apply them its best to use the voodoo kernel

For the ATI I'll go to netkas, thanks for the info. I need more help on the voodoo kernel stuff though

I got the kernel, and on the installer it mentions something about a decrypter

that is not part of the package and I have to deal with it!!!

Can someone give pointers on what this stuff is and how do I get it? or this is very n00bie for this thread? Maybe PM me..? Thanks

no problem your being cautious i take no issue with that. The decrypter it is on about is dsmos.kext you already have that so you can go right ahead and make use of the kernel. I must admit its nice to see someone making use of the readme's

Lawless,

Im in OSX now , and i have a issue with the HD4850 . i have a 1440x900 monitor and getting 1024x768 , how i get the driver ~

Many Thanks Lawless.

Another 780G here now running OSX. SB700 kext is a must! My install setup was with IDE dvd drive and a SATA hdd running on Native IDE. Install took 20 minutes.

One thing I noticed is OSX only reporting 1 core instead of 3 for my Phenom Triple Core. Do I need to apply some patch for 3 cores to work?

Thanks
