david.hoyt Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm really new at this too but I've gotten Kalyway installed on my P5Q Deluxe [ASUS] Have you gotten any of those disks even loaded through Darwin? I only know about Darwin because that is what my Kalyway disk used, I don't know if others use it too or if there are other versions of it. I'm not much help, but I'll try to give you as much as I can.

krystifa Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well just so u know I installed iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 using the sleep kernel, i ran a basic installation only selecting the 3rd party applications [no drivers] I installed the nvidia 9000 / nvdarwin and got my nvidia 9600gt to run smoothly with resolution 1680x1050, I am also getting updates from apple, and it is running great. I am now trying to get my audio [alc888 for ich10] to work and to install the ACHI patch. I luv this OS it rocks! Thanks again for your suggestions.
