Devish

How about installing SL with boot132 and make everything running Vanilla, so next time you click an Apple update nothing dies! Pimp your DSDT and use latest Chameleon + FakeSMC. There is enough information on this forum to help you out.

Maybe you did not. Try to install Windows 7 with AHCI mode off. Windows 7 installer somehow sees all partitions but can not install on any of them while AHCI is on (bug possibly). The WinXP installer won't even boot if you use AHCI. After installing win7 you will be able to boot it using chameleon while having AHCI on. Personally suggest however to run windows in emulation in OSX unless you have some serious gamin planned on you rig. My GA-EP45-DS3 (maybe DS3L) has one firewire port and it is working on Vanilla install (10.5.8).

I don't know what is the status of this topic at the moment but one of my hackintoshes having 8600 GS up and running 10.5.5 only with NVKush. It works very slowly, but all things are there (QE/CI), even Dashboard ripples. If I try to inject those NVKush values at the boottime (device-properties) resolution changing works but no QE/CI whatever you do.
