Is there anyway to overcome this?:'(

Your particular SB600 chipset might not be supported. This will be fixed in IPC_PPF3.

P.S.
Ooops,sry I didn't see witch page I'm on...

Any idea when this patch will come out :confused:?

Can you give as a release date, maybe?

Thanks in advance

All I can say is soon.

Okay, then I'll wait for burning

i just finished downloading the release, patched it and the installed it. It works great on my machine, i even managed to get digital audio working on my adi1988 onboard card.
i only had some minor problems:
- sometimes a really high pitched sound comes out from the speakers after boot. i goes away when playing video or audio, and it does only seldom return.
- last.fm player does not output audio. Amua (which works with itunes) works great. i have no idea why last.fm player is not working.

EDIT: last.fm player works now. for some reason after installing the adi1988 driver, the default audio output was set to line out not digital out.

funny thing is i tried to install this on my girlfriends machine, which is an pentium d on a 945 gz MB, and intel 950 video, it installed really fast on the sata drive, and then it did not load. i tried booting with -v -f flags, i got the fast scrolling screen when reloading the drivers, and then it just stopped on a black screen.

any ideas anyone? thanks.

sounds like a kernel drop.

have you checked the proper customizing options? (you can still use voodoo with pentium D)

Also, check the BIOS out for better AHCI support, etc.

i didn't try voodoo kernel, i thought on intel it should work with the vanilla kernel. also, i selected some extra drivers, like marvell gigabit ethernet, intel ich sata and some others. i'll try again, i'll post here if i get it right :)

ok i was able to fix the dmg issue with the seatbelt fix, but now i over looked my audio..it shows no built in audio. i selected the one i have the ac97 and nothing. also for my wireless card it doesn't even show up in settings so its something with my pcie devices not being able to be picked up. and im going to try that graphics fix right now.
