Just did the 10.5.5 update on my machine, following the advice in this thread.
Had to re-edit the ATIRadeonX1000.kext file afterwards with my device ID etc. but apart from that (so far!) things are running well.
Still want to get the bloody wireless working though.
Full Version: Asus P5W DH Deluxe thread for 10.5.x
How do you use Time Machine to go back "in time" to when your installation worked if you can't even boot into the OS to start Time Machine in the first place? Can you use Time Machine from the command line in single-user mode?
If you use the CD you installed from, there should be an option to restore a drive from a time machine backup.
At least there is one on the iAtkos CD.

Solved my 10.5.5 upgrade problems. My fresh install was hanging at the gray screen / spinning wheel after reboot.
Copying over my GFX string from my existing install com.apple.Boot.plist solved the problem.

Upadte to 10.5.5 for my P5W-DH: I have a problem with the graphics kext I thinck.. I installed the AppleCombo10.5.5, removed famous AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, and replaced graphics kext but the system does not boot after the grey screen (give me an half black/ half wallpaper screen..)..
@HawgGuy: How to add the good strings in the com.apple.Boot.plist ? with OSx86Tools I can do that, insn't it??
I have an ATI x1950Pro 256Mo..
I tinck all others kext will work... I hope..
Another experiences with this hardware??

I just upgraded to 10.5.5 (Mysticus(sp?) update method, despite selecting the option to leave the LAN drivers, LAN is dead (down/down on the router interface). Can anyone tell me which kexts I should replace (I have a backup from 10.5.2) and/or which files I should replace?
I'm using the default ports on the ASUS board.
Thanks in advance

Hi bud, thnks for the reply - I did try that but it complained that it was unusable as it had not loaded properly, I'm reinstalling now so any pointers on the correct way to copy the original back in would be appreciated.
Thanks again

Wireless works fine, just use the latest drivers from Realtek.
Bigpoppa206 - can you direct me to the exact driver that works?
I've tried 2 of them from Realtek's site, but not been successful with either so far.

Hei guys! I'm a new "forum english member" (i'm italian) but i need your help.
Some days ago i tried to install Leopard with the retail disc and generic.iso (the one posted by macita). Ok at fisrt no problem, after install and update to 10.5.5 i use the kext included in the chameleon's pkg and it works like a charm (I also use EFI studio to make my 8800GT work).
But after some trouble I had to reinstall Leo but this time there were some problems: after install and update (with my old 7600GT because with nvkush i couldn't use my 8800GT) i put my 8800GT and nothings happens, i mean, kernel panic!
So i "booted" from CD and everythings work exept qe/ci. I thought: it is the nvkush. So i deleted it from the extra folder but when i reboot there was the same problem: i can't enter in osx (even if the first time succeded in making my 8800GT work).I can enter only with -x or booting from cd...and it means no qe/ci because of nvkush.
i wish i explained well my problem.
sorry for my bad english and please help me...I don't know what to do...

Hi to all... I need help:
I've the p5w dh deluxe with bios 2704, 8600 GT 512, Leo Retail DL, I've read all the readable on this thread, the one about 132 boot & problems, triple checked the bios configuration from page 6 and post #409 (thanks so much, MacIta) of this thread, but I still can't be able to begin the installation (using the first boot disc of #409).
On my machine I have a full functional Kaly 10.5.2 Vanilla installation (i try to install on another HD).
Boot the first boot CD, then the retail leo DVD starts, load quite a lot of things, but it stops before arriving in the leo galaxy for leo installation; doing a -v installation i can see some errors (with other stuff among these lines):
It stops a few lines after something about applehda and address of the Yukon ethernet (the ones specified by digicide on post #453), without teletransporting me on the violet galaxy...
I don't know what else to try...
@peach-os: do you have a leo retail installation with the macita boot discs on an hardware raid (stripe) on EZ Backup (orange) ports?

That was the right clue. After updating to 10.5.5 using the rtl driver from feb.2008 (i now just have to type in after each reboot the wpa key) and using the audio.mpkg for the AC882 the EFI-X based system works, better seems to work perfectly.

I have wondered if THIS GUIDE which describes a RAID setup with Chameleon would work. I tried the orange ports once but must have not done it correctly because the speed was horrible. Have since purchased the new 300 gig WD Raptor and love the speed.
PS: audio works great with this board once you use Taruga's patch and EFIStudio to get the correct strings. Dunno about HD audio because I'm only using the green stereo line out port in the back to a set of Klipsch speakers.
PPS: you're on Pro-Tools, how does it work with this board? Have an old Dual G4 setup with OS9 and Pro-Tools, thinking about building another Hackintosh based on this board and getting an MBox. I only do light remix and editing work. Any info appreciated.
I install leopard 10.5 native, and update to 10.5.5 with comboupdate.
Both ethernet detected without install any kext. eSata, FW too.
But I have problems with Firewire conection. When I us a HD with firewire don't have any problem. But when I will conect my two pc's with firewire, I can't net conection. Because in Preferences don't show firewire, where both etherents are showed. While firewire net isn't showed in preferences, it don't acquire IP number.
After with iAtkos, Firewire appear in net prefernces, and the net conection with my two pc's function correctly.
Any solution?

Hi all. I've just now tried to install iDeneb v1.3 (10.5.5) on my system. While the install works, I can't boot into the OS unless I use -x -f. When I view in verbose mode, the installation seems to stall on what looks like a network type issue.
My question is this: Has anyone experienced a good install, but halt/fail on boot (on any distro/release)? If so, what can I do (bios or otherwise) to allow my hackintosh to boot without -f and -x?
My system specs are,
Asus p5W dh deluxe
2GB Crucial Ballistix
C2D E6700
AHCI on
CPU's error something or another set to "Enabled" (I had this disabled for XP/OC'ing but it would crash the OS X boot)
Any words of wisdom appreciated.

A few more details:
I've done numerous install types, including audio/no audio, ethernet, wifi etc. No support for my 9800GX2 so I don't install any graphics drivers. Still the boot stops.

I acknowledge that this may be an obnoxious question...
I had my machine working well with a Kalyway 10.5.1 install for about 6 months. Sleep never really worked but everything else more or less worked well. After (inappropriately) feeling confident, I let Apple update from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 and the kernel panics started. Several weeks of totally failing to get things to restore from the TimeMachine image - that was a major pain - lead me to re-installed with Kalyway 10.5.2 and upgraded sequentially, and successfully to 10.5.5.
So now the questions: I've cobbled together the new install using http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83689 but certain things feel "off". This has made me interested in another type of install...

- Is there any functional reason to try one of the "Retail DVD" installs?
- If so, could I successfully use one of the prepared scripts for the post install?
- Would sleep work if I did this?
- Would I then be able to make subsequent updates via the Apple Software Updater?
- Would this realistically just be an exercise in frustration?
I've currently got 10.5.2 installed and I've tried to update to 10.5.5 using the prepatch, apple update, post patch method but in post patch there's no customise option anywhere. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious so if someone can please put me out of my misery and tell me I'd appreciate it.
On another note, has anyone had any luck getting the front panel audio mic working? I've got headphones working from it but the mic isn't picked up at all.

Raid 0 pairs 2 identical hard drives for increased (sometimes double) performance.
Raid 1 backs up the first hard drive simultaneously with the second drive for back up.
Most motherboards have software raid. It uses the on board S-Ata controller, and drivers for windows to emulate Raid0. The Asus P5W DH on the other hand has 3 Raid options, 1 working in Leopard. There is 2 software Raids, Jmicron, ICH7R. Then there is the Hardware Raid.
The 2 Orange ports on the Asus P5W DH, labeled "EZ_Raid" are is infact a hardware raid controller. Silicon Image. Using Raid0 in Leopard is as easy as doing it in windows with this controller.
-Simply plug in the 2 identical hard drives to the 2 orange ports, switch the pin on the motherboard to Raid 0 or Raid 1.
-Boot into bios, Enable the Setting "EZ_Raid Mode change" which will stay enabled for ONE boot only, don't worry when it is disabled later.
-Install Leopard, or windows, like normal. The drive is labeled "External Disk 0"
As an example of the speed, a good S-ATA drive at 7200RPM scores about 80mb/s in both read and write on xbench. My raptor 10k RPM scores about 105mb/s in read and write. With 2 of those babies in raid 0, I score 205mb/s every time.
Raid 0 works natively, and perfectly with this board.

im using idebt version 10.5.4 and it works great.
did you remember to put your sata to ich7 mode? in the bios? also you did not mention your video card.

on page 6 are the bios stettings that work with this board and also give you a working sleep mode.

Hey thanks for the heads' up. Is that iDeneb 10.5.4? Also, my HDD is from the IDE, not sata, but I have sata in ihc mode and my DVD drive is sata and it reads disks fine etc.
My video card is a gForce 9800GX2, no support yet with drivers unless I do some EFI string settings (in another thread, I'll do it once I get the system to boot and LAN/audio are working). However this hasn't been an issue with me, I've been able to boot in my monitor's native 1920x1200@32.
I've given the bios page a look but will check it out again. Thanks for the heads' up.
I had a ide harddisk as a maindrive till a month back.
i could not install any of the leo distro's untill leo4all v3 came around.
trouble was that other distro's did not support booting from the ide poort. realy strange
installation worked frine but booting never worked always got loops.
drivers for the 9800GX2

yesterday I put in a my old X1900xtx because my 3870 does not boot my laptops HD.
First strange thing computer did not boot!
tryed every thing just a black screen @ boot
so i put it in the second pci-e slot (bottem one). it worked like a charm.
i could boot do all the nasty evil stuff i like doing.
thinking it might be nice to have 2 video cards i pluged in my 3870 in the top slot.
and booted. If this would work i would have 2 working video cards.
now here the rouble starts the problem my computer is trying to take off. lol wel oke it sounds like its a bout to lift off the x1900xtx is cooling max speed it never does that. its also not reconised bye osx
if I unplug the 3870 all is fine
.
because its running @ full speed all the time i think its a bios/mobo problem
any of you guys have trouble with 2 video cards?
