[Installation/Help] Recommendation? / Advise
 
I've tried expirementing before but I only successfully installed once; Now I really need some help because frankly, I just click random boxes and as far as that got me was one successful install that didn't work quite as I expected since a) wireless didn't work, B) audio wasn't working c) everytime i move, resize, scroll and window the content of the application flipped. But now I've decided to use iDeneb since it has AL660VD patch which was one of the problems that may have affected the installation i did with iPC with all those problems. I don't really post much in forums but this will really help me.

So I'm going to install iDeneb unless you suggest something better.
Here's my spec's please give me some help on deciding which patches to install:

Quote:

Motherboard = ASRock P4VM900-SATA2
VIA P4M900 + VIA VT8237S chipset(?)
On-board Audio = Realtec AL660VD Audio Codec
Graphics Card = Nvidia 8600GT 256mb (Club3D)
Wirless = D-Link DWL-G520 Wireless PCI ( rev.B )
Keyboard = Logictech G15
Mouse = Logictech Nano VX
Anyone who helps me and helps me install this puppy I will happily design them anything they
want for free. I hope I can offer my services as I'm a really kind person.

According to this sound I choose?

Quote:

Kernal = Voodoo (?)
Chipset = VIA/SiS/Marvell/Uli ( vecchi VIA-SB )
Graphics = NVDarwin 256mb (?)
Wireless = (not sure?)
Sound = AL660VD
PS2 Fix = Just incase
USB Mass = Just incase
Applications

Is this okay? Change and reply according please

----Questions----
Q) Why does it show like NVdarwin 1.2.5 and than NVdarwin 1.2.5 <RAM SIZE?> / if so which one if best?, NVKush, NVinject, NVdarwin?

[Forum looks great btw, I'll make sure I'll try to become apart of this community, seems awesome]

you shouldn't click random boxes...

only get the PS/2 Fix if ur keyboard or mouse isn't USB. Voodoo sounds about right. That might be a good install, hoping that everything works out correctly :)

Personally, I think that if your running a dual boot machine with XP or Vista, you want to be able to read NTFS while in OS X, it makes moving files between the to so much easier.

After doing some digging, I found that the protections Vista puts on certain directories (folders) are not there! For me, thats a good thing. For people that don't know what they are doing, that could be disasterous!

Yeah, I'm just new to the OSX scene but I have extensive knowledge of windows which doesn't really help alot right now. But I decided to give it another whip and well I got a boot0 error; I'm going to try reinstall and then look up on how to solve it since I don't really know how to access that drive again even though i fixed my mbr.

//Any ideas?
I think I nailed the hardware configuration, but I'm not certain till I see it.

I tried booting from cd : rd = rdisk0s3 but it my install seem'd bad.

Sometimes I get a kernel panic when I boot, other times its fine...

Try booting again

I already deleted the partition, I wanted to try iPC final iso since I got PPF5 in the past which didn't have ALC660VD but the final iso has, which is quite good. I didn't know I downloaded the wrong version so I'm going to see how this goes. Also; I'm just wondering if I do r=rdisk0s3 -v ? will it boot disk 0 partition 3 (where leopard is installed for me) and find out why it panics?

installing as little as possible on first install will have less chance of a crash ;)

you can always go back after you have finished installing and add kexts to make your hardware work properly

hmmm; have you got a link to a tutorial?, Am I able to remove kexts after installation and if I can brilliant. The last time when i got it working worked out really badly since everytime I moved the window/resize/scroll the content flipped. x.x;

I think I'll use NvKush since the last time i remmeber installing the pacific graphic kext and I think it bugged because I also selected Kvinject 256mb. (possibility?)

Add me on msn by any chance =P

dont have one dude,

and if u think its because of a kext u installed, then yea if u go into singleusermode u can remove it, its somewhere around here... i cant remember the exact command.. i think its rm /System/Library/Extensions/(the kext u want to get rid of).kext
