| Gigabyte EP45-DS3L - no audio “Probably because I already had a patched HDAenabler, installing just the Apple HDA.kext from that link did the trick. Awesome!” | 10.X Core | 2009-05-01 11,450 dossier reads |
| Gigabyte EP45-DS3L - no audio “Thanks, Jib, I'll give that a whirl tonight. I'd done alot of searching on InsanelyMac and on InfiniteMac but never came up with that thread.” | 10.X Core | 2009-05-01 11,450 dossier reads |
| No IDE/ATA drive, but only SATA “For an AMD/ATi chipset (well, this worked for my SB600 anyway) you can extract the VIA-SB package from the LawlessPPC distro (from /System/Installation or /System/Library/Installation, I forget which - the System folder is hidden and you'll…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-04-20 9,061 dossier reads |
| ASUS M3A motherboard - hang on reboot after install “Using the EFIStudio_Extended, I added the string for my 3850 using the Megalodon frame buffer and lo and behold, I have my graphics. Everything is 100% awesome.” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-04-20 6,661 dossier reads |
| ASUS M3A motherboard - hang on reboot after install “The hang was called by my VisionTek 512MB Radeon 3850. Still can't get it working.

Also, the IDE DVD drive was not detected with the VIA-SB packa…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-04-20 6,661 dossier reads |
| Drivers for HD3850 “What worked for me in 10.5.6 is to start up in safe mode (using -x at the boot loader) and then this program: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=141490&view=findpost&p=1123276 Install an EFI string for the Radeon 3800 5…” | 10.X Core | 2009-05-01 6,098 dossier reads |
| installing on my Phenom x4 BE “I'm a little farther along than you - on my AMD 770 board with the SB600 southbridge, I had to enable AHCI mode for the SATA controller, and even then only some of the distros I downloaded (iPC and XxX) could boot and install. But I'm hangi…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-04-18 5,456 dossier reads |
