I'd try

-x cpus=4

Leo4allv3 is worth a try, of course.

I explained the graphics and the audio on the previous page... however, I have to edit the links because we can't have them in the forum any longer (at least links to non-open source software or software that modifies apple's software or files) so I'll PM you the links.

as far as the wireless goes, we need to know the chipset of the wireless controller to be more accurate, but I would try giving the Broadcom wireless package a try. I'll PM you that as well.

I have same problem.

iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 , I installed I am getting error from mDNSResponder.
and I cant pass the screen. I can boot with -x and I can do everything.

I selected kernel 9.2 speedstep.
ACPI fix
cpus=1 fix
AHcıfix
SMBIOS 800mhz

I changed the IOFamilynetwork kext with LS8V14's kext and without -x it gives error related to buffer etc.
but I can boot with -x

What can I do with this and what is the difference -x than normal mode?

for ideneb I can say that you can try a lot of times , because this distro somtimes behave differently for each setup , my personal advice, select only necessary fix such as ahcifix and SMbios 800 mhz or whatever your ram MHZ?

and dont select any driver. for example, dont select videocard driver and auido driver.

and try the kernels. I dont know for q6600 which one is better, but I think speedstep should work.

you can try cpus=1 fix or dont select anything from fix just select ACPI-fix , as a result try all possible cases for ideneb I can say, because If you can setup the machine , it means it will work if you get right bios and kext configuration or fix.

I have added screen shots for my error , I disabled ethernet card but it gives still mDNSresponder error and it freezes...

do you have any idea or bios tip?

first, the "-x" boot flag is for safe mode. when you replaced the kexts did you repair permissions. this is a common error. To fix it, boot into single user mode using the forced Extensions load:
Code:
-f -s
and this will give you a console-type boot.
first mount your hard drive:
Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
then change to the Extensions folder:
Code:
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
next, repair permissions of the folder:
Code:
chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *
I follow this up by removing the Extensions.mkext file so the system will load all the Extensions at next boot and re-cache them into a new .mkext file.
Code:
cd ..
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
finally reboot:
Code:
reboot
I think you are getting a hang at the mDNSresponder error because of this permissions problem because you altered the IOFamilynetwork kext file. when you boot in safe mode (-x) you bypass this because it isn't a needed function of the OS in order to boot.

Hope this helps explain things a bit. If this isn't the problem, we'll dig a little deeper next time.

I installed kexts with Osx86Tools and I run the commans such as repair permission and clear extension cache after installing kext.

i will try -f mode without -s.

I installed dmos.kext after IOfamilynetwork. and it gives buffer error.

how can I dig it? to understand why it happens?
