Jeepmb Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Alright, so for the record I have an almost fully working Kalyway 10.5.2 Leopard (No internet though) installation. My problem is that when i activate the internal network card (ethernet) in the BIOS (set to on), when i boot to OSX it freezes at the login screen every time, and trying to boot to the kalyway DVD it freezes at the line of text saying "AppleBCM5751Ethernet: 1 1659 setpowerlevels-returning early, have a 5721. onoff=, F PciDevice=ID" or those words in some order. I can't get my wireless card to work (DWL-G510) so this ethernet is my only option for internet and i need it. I will appreciate any help. Thanks My system: Dell Optiplex GX 280 Intel 915 Express chipset Broadcom 57xx Integrated Gigabit controller 512 mb RAM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116820-mac-fails-to-boot-when-ethernet-card-activehelp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbetts Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Alans solution is not the first one I'd go with, but if you don't plan on troubleshooting, that would be the best move.
