to run a different kernel you must install it. I dont mind answering questions but i feel you should be searching the forums for some of your answers as these have all been answered on a number of occasions. If i keep giving the answers so readily its not going to sink in.

k, i know it's distubing so i'll try to put only important answers, sry
and thx for the help

You have to turn off the PC and turn it back on. It seems to do something to IDE HDs that causes the PC not to boot until u switch off.

interesting this is news to me!!!

Here's *my* stupid question, I've searched but have not quite come up with anything.
After a "successful" install, restart boots MacOS I do the personalizing bit and then after login the background changes to blue. Here the Finder should startup but screen remains blue with movable cursor. Nothing else? What's with this one?

Oh, reformatted and tried different options on installs like 20 times, takes about 15mins to install.

Edit: Ok, tried again without nVidia Drivers. Works! Now to install Sound (ALC883) and Vid GeForce 8600GT 1GB

w00t!
CPU Phenom 8450 X3 (Soon to be a 9750)
MB Asus M2A-VM HDMI SB600
RAM 2 * Titan 800MHz DDR2 2GB, 2* Supertalent 800MHz DDR2 1GB
nVidia Geforce 8600GT 1GB
HDD 2 * Maxtor/Seagate 500GB AHCI 3Gb/s, 1 * Western Digital 250GB AHCI 3Gb/s
DVD-RW Pioneer 116 IDE

Well, I found that out when trying to install on my machine. Even on my older ASUS K8VSE DLX it did it. When booting from the DVD and it's loading the drivers for the drive I usually hear the drive spin up, which I guess that it puts it to sleep then wakes it back up.
If all doesn't go well and the install fails, the HDD is not recognized until pwr off, then reboot.

Just from my experiences ^_^

have you tried booting in safe mode -x

I did edit the post, problem was the NVInject and kexts on the disc.
After many many many methods, Using NVinstaller v5.2 and grabbed a GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle from 10.5.2 NVkexts+.pkg

However I can't switch resolutions and it displays 768MB VRAM tho it's a 1GB. Hmmm, paying more attention now CI says software.

This is the last thing that I need working. Any sugesstions?

Edit: is there any way I can take the kexts and method from Kalyway 10.5.2? When I installed that one it did the Vid card with CI/QE switching resolutions but only 512MB.

GeForce 8600 GT:

PATA Works SB600
Firewire/USB

Oh and is there anything to map keyboard? I would just like to switch two keys since my Logitech keyb has the Mac Command Key as "Alt" and the Mac Option/Alt as "Windows/Super".

Lawless any idea if the MSI DKA790GX (AMD 790GX NB) and (SB700 SB) work with your current build? I'm having reboot issues at initial install when the Rom Drive spins up, it just resets my system endlessly...

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition
4GB Patriot DDR2-800 (4-4-4-12)
2 Sata II Hard drives
2 IDE Drives (DVDR and DVD-ROM)
Creative XFI Titianium (PCI-E)


I'm lost...any help would be appreciated.

it works, i think that your moatherboard has SB750, not 700
lawless with some small changes works :
AMD Phenom 9950 X4 Black Edition 140W - (has SSE4a too)
- MSI DKA790GX - AMD 790GX , SB750
- OCZ Platinum 2*2GB 1000MHz
- Asus Geforce 8600GT Silencer 512 DDR3
- Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Audio
- SATA2 HardDrive
- IDE DVD drive
i think the most importnat change that i made to the install disc is to inject(with TransMac) this
i only managed to install this in AHCI mode(note IDE mode), but if you know how to put SATA kexts on your install disc you can try it
but be carefull after you manage to install MAC OS X not to install any updates(like10.5.6), i crahed my mac because of that :(
and i think it won't be easy to find kexts for your sound card, i have the same problem :(
