Everything is spot on.

It took a while but now I'm down to minimal extra kexts and a system that software update doesn't break

I did notice that you had macFuse installed, it's not needed you can enable read/write support for ntfs in snow
I didnt install MacFUSE (it must came with vanilla 10.6. or transfer old settings from 10.5.8). Could You send me all kext that You have in Extra folder so I can try to boot 10.6.2?

I tryed to boot with -s and remoove all MacFUSE (renamed it to .old) but MacFUSE allways shows at boot screen

Look here

If you use your own DSDT you will also need nullcpupowermangment.kext, and also jmicron as I don't use ide

Let me know how you get on.

Yes I use custom dsdt with gfx, audio & CMOS reset fix. TX for .kexts I'll try them and give feedback

TY for sharing kexts I managed to install (again :) ) retail and installed 10.6.2 combo update. I'm running in 32bit mode so my USB WiFi can work. I still need to find working Jmicron and HDA (tryed patching dsds & AppleHDA.kext but it does not help)

on every install I have problem with screen capture. This is what I get.

Maybe it is problem with graphic drivers?

I put a jmicron kext here for you

www.osx-stuff.talktalk.net/JMicronATA.kext.zip

didn't it work?

As for audio your board will definatly work with dsdt patch and legacy hda, I'm guessing you've got the patch right so maybe the kext is no good, just google alc889 osx86

Sorry for late reply. No it does not work it gives me kernel panic. I'll try to find some other JmicronATA.

Maybe I should delete JMicronATA.kext in /S/L/E??

did you try booting with -x32

catevs 12-18-2009 12:27 PM
I am booting in 32 bit bicause drivers for Netgear WG111v3 only work in 32 bit. Im booting with "arch=i386"

To be honest although its possible to get ata working on these boards I think the best option is to go all sata, "a lot less problomatic"

I will remove 20GB HDD but I have DVD RW that is IDE. Problem is that I had working ATA devices, but I can not remember wich one kext I used. I've downloaded 10
