Installation freezes at the end. I tried reinstalling, and it froze again. It wouldn't boot. Removed AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and it seemed to work, but loginscreen never came up. Any ideas? DFI lanparty nf4 ultra-d AMD64 3200+…

Network Problems in 10.5.2
“Well, I enabled Boot Rom and still nothing. The weird thing is that none of them work, and both give me the same ip. In System Preferences > Network, Marvell Yukon used to appear as connected. It doesn't do that anymore, though. Any other i…”

“Thanks eddie! It didn't work though, I'm still getting the self-assigned IP. Manual setup didn't work either. One thing I noticed, while using nForce4 Lan, System Preferences shows Marvell connected (which isn't true).”
