i'm running mac osx on my Vaio, and i've been struggling to find the right drivers(so far i've only found a working marvell yukon lan driver) my integr. sound card is realtek , but when I install it and re-boot, my display has nothing but weird vertical lines, and all i can figure to do is wipe and re-install OSX.

does anyone know what could cause this?

try typing cpus=1 then hitting enter at the darwin prompt.

didn't work, but thanks for hte try, is there a command to log in without certain drivers? and then if so, is there a way to unload the azalia driver that's causing the trouble?
thanks
