Hi Lawless,
can you have a look here for a problem I have w/rgds ACPI? Seems the 10.5.6 upgrade has overwritten something from the kexts used and now no shutdown/reboot/sleep is possible. Other things are alright...

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

if you look in activity monitor you'll see that there is a graph for every core. About this mac relies on smbios.kext this can be replaced to be more accurate. Trust me its using all cores just about this mac doesnt know about them

You were right. Activity monitor is showing 3 cores.

Another question. Can i run Mac OS update like to install 10.5.5 via the Software Update? or that will mess up my current install?

Thanks

If you`re on Intel and running Voodoo kernel, it should be ok. If you`re on AMD - even using the Voodoo kernel it could mess...better try to patch the combo update with Zephyroth`s patcher. Try on your test OS first cause it always can go wrong.

As Taisto said, it depends on your machine. amd needs patched files, either with zephs updater or realtime patching with voodoo kernel. i did update via zeph first and installed kernel later as it said in the readme voodoo is having proplems with a system prior to 10.5.5.

The update of lawlees to 10.5.5 went really smooth, 10.5.6 is a pain in the arse so far

EDIT: patched combo update to 10.5.7 worked

Hello every1 and greetings from Italy! I'm getting this image now as I've had pbms so far with kalyway-ideneb-leo4all (no HD detected at install) so nowhere to install at disk utility screen. My hardware report is attached, any hint as to which items I should choose at install? If the sata hd is not recognized how can i solve this? Thanks for all the support, I'll be glad to share my experiences after installing!

Or can point me where can I download one.
