Hi all, this is my first desktop hackintosh and I built it on an older board.  I installed via Boot-321 & #####, disabled GraphicsEnabler, and loaded kext for LAN.  Here's my equipment:

Intel DG35EC motherboard
8GB RAM
750GB WD HDD on SATA0
DVD-writer on SATA1

My issues after 10.6.8 install are that each time I start my machine from dead cold, it cannot find the harddisk.  However if I disconnect power to my DVD-writer and reboot then all is well.  Later once the machine has warmed a bit, if I reboot with the DVD-writer plugged in everything is suddenly fine.  Next my audio is not working, I have tried the Azalia, AppleHDA, and VooDooHDA but still no luck.  Lastly the system does not sleep and when I command a shutdown it will shutdown for about 1 second and reboot itself.  Anyone have any ideas why the system is acting the way it does?

I have installed on a few laptops and netbooks and none have had such symptoms.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
