[cite] Leviathan:[/cite]WOW thx thx thx for the great release
works on my machine, posting this with safari, but i have 2 problems:
onboard network card doesn't work
onboard soundcard doesn't work (is there a way to use my 2.nd soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer ???)

It's probably a little more useful if you list the actual onboard sound chip/codec - same with the onboard networking adapter. Or provide a link... Here's what I generally do:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131163
(newegg.com has an excellent selection and gives all kinds of info - especially on MB products.)

They show your onboard sound is: ADI AD1988b

I think I've seen references to that on insanelymac.com & someone here probably has some info about it...
They don't list the LAN chip(s) (I think your MB has 2...) but they DO have a link to the manufacturer:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=M2N32-SLI%20Premium%20Vista%20Edition

where, if you still can't find the exact specs, you can usually download the Users Manual...

In the English version - on page 2-4 - it shows your networking adapters as:

2x Marvell 88E1116 gigabit LAN adapter

Again, someone here ( or at insanelymac ) will probably have more information on the Marvell chipsets.

(that wasn't too hard for me to find - still, it would have been much simpler if you had gotten that info out of your users manual in the first place. try to make it easy for people to help ;-) ... )

[cite] freshcuts:[/cite]I tried everything and still no sound on my alc850.

I don't get it. Our ALC850 was supported natively by 10.5.1 - I don't know why it wouldn't be in 10.5.2...

( that's the sound codec used on my son's MB on our very first Zephyroth install. I haven't tried 10.5.2 on his machine - it's working perfectly for him & I really don't want to mess with it... )

So, I am having an issue w/ the 10.5.2 cd, where it either boots to the apple logo and gives me a "you must restart" error message, or it just reboots, or it gives me a kernel panic for 9.0.0.

I had the -x safe boot problem w/ the 10.5.1 CD, but it installed fine.

Is there a way to set the kernel to boot with?

Zephyroth, great release, thanks!

I have a ASUS M2N-E mobo. Chipset is NForce 570 Ultra MCP. Audio is Realtek ALC850

I successfuly installed AMD 10.5.2 on a SATA disk but with some problems.

1) Audio doesn't work. No built-in audio it says.
2) Network doesn't work. It says the cable is not connected. I selected forcedeth during installation.

Other than these it looks okay.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Seriously dude... Do yourself a favor (& us too) and just ride the torrent. Go outside and play for a day or two...

( oh, do you remember how to UNDO the "Caps Lock" on your keyboard? )

Excuse me , but its not me thats making it so complicated and im sure that there are hundreds of ways out there that you could have used to make a it a little bit easier. Im not one of those people that are going to download for 1 week if there are easier ways.
