So, I burnt the Kalyway ISO threw it in the drive, took the disk utility and did the drive and installed it.

 

First load, I got a blue screen, but could hear audio about using "Voice Over" so I figured something had to be going right.

 

I tried the "movevideodrivers" solution and said don't move the Nvidia and ATI but DO move the Intel GMA and that seemed to work. I may have that backward, if I do, reverse it.

 

So I got it up and could look at it and go through the setup.

 

So here's the strange part, during setup the wireless card could see the local wireless company's signal, but not my router (it was off), so I went through the rest of the setup and got to the looking around stage.

 

So I turn the router on, enable the ssid, remove the security and MAC Filtering, so I'm open to the whole neighborhood, and it still won't find it, and it won't find any network. Even with the settings.

 

Plus I have no Ethernet Port working at this time, so I've got it running with no interweb.

 

I also tried DVD playback but it tells me something about no defined device or something. DVD Player won't see discs.

 

The DVD RW? is being reported as a Mat{censored}a DVD RAM.

 

I also think my video may be a little suspect. I could care less it isn't making 1280 X Whatever, but I notice the screensaver is painfully slow, and at boot it only reports 7MB of video memory. I don't know if these are connected as this is truly my first day on the ground with this.

 

I decided Friday to see if I could do it, and here I am with a limited success story.

 

My Prior Experience with OSX Tiger is upgrading an old G3 and 2 Blueberry iMacs and an old eMac to 10.4.

So I've got the rudimentary install setup stuff, and how to install programs, but that's about it.

 

So at least you've got another model to post that works with the OSx86 setup.

 

Also any help from someone who uses an Atheros 5006/AR5BXB61 card would be tops. I've read any thread I could find that mentioned my card or model specifically, and it's either degraded into something completely unrelated, or I'm not in full understanding of the process.

 

I could more than likely replace it, but am not sure the card isn't functioning. I did find the other commercial network during setup so it must be doing something.

 

Thanks!

Once I changed the router's wireless channel we were golden.

 

So for something different I tried Leo4All's latest and greatest and had a smoother running time.

I used the old 950 Drivers, and the display seems to work better.

 

DVD works. Everything appears to be working much better.

 

I don't have audio like I did under Kalyway, but am working on a solution.

Can you give better information on your sound card, it can help you to find good driver
