msll
Just finished installing Kalway 10.5.2-->Jas 10.5.3 combo update-->software update to 10.5.4 from Apple.

The integrated card reader just works OOB. Now the only thing completely failed is wireless (atheros ar5007EG)

Can you download the app OSX86Tools and run "View PCI Device/Vendor ID"?

ok downloaded the tools, but the problem is I can't get Leopard to install, from what I can tell after talking to Insyde and Compaq and a buddy at intel, These are the Specs:

InsydeH20 Bios v3
x3100 with the 2a02 id
Intel 965GM chipset
Compaq c770us
Atheros Wifi 5xxx
Vista(the problem)

I can get leo4all v3 patched to boot and go through to a restart, but none of the installation options allow for a good boot. I either get a kernel panic quick restart or a package 0 No HPET message, I have also noticed a problem with ioscsidevicetype5. Could it be the light scribe DVD burner or this damn Bios.lol The manufacturers are trying hard to make our computers, partially ours.

Just a note. on the two distros I have that boot, i noticed chameleon bootloader.....gonna patch one of my kalyway distros and see, I'll keep on posting. if success.
