Continue MacTablet Saga

Hi, and thanks again.

I am using the iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Final disk

I have my mac-in-stein working again, as well as I ever did. Right now, I have...

9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel
Intel GMA 950...WORKS DECENTLY (some artifacts...no rotation)
Intel ICHx SATA Drivers...works
Legacy AppleHDA:Sigmatel 9200...does not show in "Sound"
Voodoo Power power management...WORKS DECENTLY (no battery display)
Dual boot time sync by Zephyroth (thank goodness)
IOPCMCIA Family...seems to see card, but do not have driver
Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (I wish I could use Vanilla kernel!)
PS/2 Keyboard Patch (works)
I then used ToshACPI.kext to activate bluetooth. Haven't tested, but appears to work.
I set up TabletMagic, installed TabletPC driver, and it came up with an error (a kext was not installed correctly). I used kext helper b7, reinstalled JUST the errant kext, and my tablet works!


OK, so now I am in business, for the most part. I want to use Vanilla, but it seems it ain't happening. Why not? I have Intel parts (in fact, most of the Toshiba is like a MacBook).

Also, there is a Texas Instruments PCIxx12 device in my computer that has a OHCI controller, the 5-in-1 Card reader, and the FIREWIRE port! Anyone know what driver to use for this this?!?

I'm actually kind of surprised installation went so smoothly. Had to enter in my resolution (1680x1050x32) during boot up but that's okay. Now on to some issues. When I move windows arounds, it'll start ghosting until I click on the bottom and resize it. Now, I'm going to have to be putting in my old Gigabyte X800XL soon, so I'm going to need to reinstall OSX I'm guessing. What option would you suggest I use because I had taken a peek at the ATI info in the install and I didn't see anything relating to my X800 XL.

Hmmm...unsupported cards?!?

I would not try this with unsupported video cards. If you see a driver, you can install it later by looking for the correct folder on the DVD, instead of reinstalling the whole thing. You listed no info about your setup...CPU, chipset, graphics card...

One of the issues I had early on was badly burnt disks! Seriously, never thought it would be a problem, but I RESOLVED your issue (that I was having) simply by re-burning my image at 1x speed (after I checked to make sure my image passed the checksum)...

Bios v. 3.8, btw

Hello,
So sorry for not writing for so long, I was very busy the last few months so I put my Hackintosh project on stand by. Anyways, now I'm back on it so ... let me fill you up on it.

I made some progress from the stage described here:
http://www.infinitemac.com/f36/ipc-o...92/page29.html

I manage to boot up from the DVD disk by using an LG SATA DVD RAM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH20NS15 more exactly).
Then I select the hard drive I want to install on, I select the packages I thing I need and START THE INSTALLATION.
It seems to star well, it says it takes 8 minutes, then 16 ... but, after the progress reaches 25-30% it jumps to 65-70% and gives me the ERROR: "Installation cannot be completed, the media your trying to install from is BROKEN!"

Did anyone have this kind of problems?
Do you have any suggestions?

I've checked the MD5 hash of my image and it is 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f as it should.
And I burned it on an Estelle DVD-R 8x blank, with Nero Express of Nero 7 Premium package at 6x twice and the same thing.

Should I try a better quality DVD-R (like Verbatim maybe)?
Should I try a slower burn speed?
Should I try a different burning software?

Please help,
I really wanna make this happen!
