hey people. first of all mad props to zephyroth. This disk is the closest ive got to install on my amd machine. After a lot of adjustments (dvd and hdd on same ide ribbon) ive managed to get the installer to run throught to I minute left hang (Ive used the wikidiot reinstall guide and it had no effect, still died at the same point), then the screen turns grey, the apple loading circle shows and the machine powers off. The installer log shows dummy bless (or there abouts). On reboot in verbose mode I get the 'still waiting for root device' message. It doesnt matter if I try MBR or GUID, install with or without kexts, the install alwats ends up the same, I have also burned several disks using alcohol in windows and toast on a kalyway intel machine.
After lurking here and insaelymac for a few days the ive seen a few people with same problem and similar processors and the only theory ive come up wiht is that its a problem with the athlon x64 socket 754 family. Other than that i have no theories. If anyone has any ideas feel free. Heres the specs;- mobo-asus k8s-mx chipset- sis 760gx ram 2x512 pc3200 sound- using an external sb live (no kext required just plug and play after install) graphics -nvidia geforce 6600 128mb agp. hdd-ide 40gb Should probably mention I did have an extremely unstable tiger 10.4.6 install on this machine. Again thanks a lot zephyroth. Thanks.

something weird I found also is: I have 2 hdīs. 200bg for M$ windows, and files, and a 20gb for osx - for now -. When I erased my osx partition and remaded it, it was ok. But, when I finished installed osx and had some problems in the video configs, I decided to re-install it, and when I get to disk utility again to re-format the 20gb, guess what? my M$ windows vista partition - named system so far - got the name changed for disk0s01 (something like that)... I guess it was made when the bootloader was installing...
anyway I had no time to test the windows boot yet, but, in some few hours - God I wanna go home right now, canīt take this job anymore - Iīll be testing it and sending my reports. tchau! braid edit: oh and by the way: it seems nforce 4 lan is working fine, and ac97 sound too. Just tell me what the amd utility does?

freshcuts, did you drag and drop the "alc880.txt" , onto the AppleHDAPatcher1.20 icon/application, or did you open the application itself?
your only supposed to drag and drop the alc880.txt over the app icon, then it will popup and run its script and show you the output, at the end it should say "successfully patched"

Ok guys. Please, Im begging now. Can someone please shed some light on whats going on with my system??
Ill try to explain best I can. If I boot from the 10.5.2 DVD it hangs on "waiting for root device". If i try 10.5.1 it boots the installer, but its VERY slow, takes 10 minutes to even recognise my hard drives and when I try to erase my partition I allocated for Leopard, it just doesnt do anything. Ive yet to actually install it and its driving me MENTAL!!! Please PLEASE someone help!! Specs: AMD 64 6000+ X2 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M55S-S3 (rev. 2.0), NVIDIAŪ nForce 550 chipset. 2 Gb Ram ATI 1900XTX 512 Graphics 1 X 80gig Sata HD 1 X 250gig Sata HD Plextor Sata DVD Drive
