I would like to thank you for this brillant script, it is the ONLY thing that has has managed to install Snow Leopard on an ASUS P5K vanilla system. I tried every option in the book and was just about to trash this board in favor of a Gigabyte board when I thought I would give it a try. On my second attempt, I have a working system.

Some pointers for other trying to get this script to work....

When firing it up, I suggest doing so from a terminal rather then a gui. Doing so allows you to use "sudo" thereby preventing any permission errors during it's processing. Thats what I did second time around and it worked brilliantly.

In my case the only negative is that I have to put 2 kexts in S/L/E instead of E/E - my network and VoodooHDA. VoodooHDA got my sound working (ALC883) although nothing is showing on the system profiler. At this stage I am happy, sleep doesn't work (won't wake up) but I am not concerned. WIll test for a few days to see what happens but at this stage the machine is running fine on 10.6.1.

For those that are interested, I am running a plain P5K MBd, E8400, 4Gb 800 ram and an nVidia 8600GT 512Mb with dual 500Gb SATA drives. My bios is from a P5KR, version 0703.

Cheers
Bruce
