Barebone Hardware

[archie79muc]

Hi,

I have opened this thread, since a Genius bar thread has inspired me to try to install a retail Leopard system on my Shuttle SG33G5 Barebone system with

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,4 GHz
4 GB RAM
HE753LJ SATA Samsung 750 GB Hdd
PX-810SA SATA DVD-burner
Nvidia 9600 GT 512MB gfx card
Chipsatz: Intel G33 Express (Bearlake-G) +
ICH9DH, FW400 and USB.

Installing Retail Leopard has worked without any additional Kext or patching:

This system now has 10.5.6 & all other updates from Apple applied and I am used to get it started with boot123 iso cdrom provided by http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/howt...ead-t1106.html someone named Type11.

The gfx card does not run QE/CI natively - is there a way to fix that?
Then the system kind of does not shutdown properly, what am I to do about that?

Oh and audio did not get detected so I am using a Creative Xmod-USB sound card, which works fine, so audio is not the big problem.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated - especially I am looking for a bootloader to start directly from HDD and some driver/kext/whatever for the gfx problem.

Thanks in advance!
