Luke Docksteader Can't answer too many of your problems, but: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=12933 for the nVidia Networking driver and as previously stated, the eject thing is a standard feature of OS X.

Download17 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 what sound card are you using? there are several posts about sound cards same problem here depending on the chipset of the yukon it may or may not work try getting a cheap rtl8139 ethernet card should work but may need the kext file from 10.4.3 find apple.com.boot.plist and under kernel flags add "Graphics Mode"="1280X1024X32"-for vesa 2.0 if you have a vesa 3.0 card you can also add @60 or what ever refresh rate you need change 1280X1024X32@60 to what ever res you want I think this is a standard feature of OSx (maybe wrong on this one) but it does not cause any concern Hey thanks for responding... ---Here's the sound card I'm using: "Karajan audio module 8-channel audio via nForce4 integrated audio and ALC850 codec" ---to tell you the truth, I was always using the Marvell NIC in windows, but when after I installed OSX it stopped working altogether (not even in windows!). I mean, I don't even get the nice LEDs that let you know it's even connected just nothingness... I'm so frustrated....HELP!!!... ---yeah, about the video card... I tried all of that but it didn't seem to work. There wasn't even anything in the com.apple.boot.plist file, it was completely blank... this is what you mean right: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@70"</string> ...that's the general code right??? How do I find out if I have vesa2 or vesa3? ---Yeah, the eject thing isn't a big deal. But what about how it won't restart? Have you heard of anyone having that problem at all. Anyways.... thanks alot for your help... it's greatly appreciated!!!

theSpam Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well, I have ALC850 audio and it works fine out of the box with the Myzar image. I'm guessing you most likely need the AppleAC97Audio.kext from 10.4.3.

Download17 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well, I have ALC850 audio and it works fine out of the box with the Myzar image. I'm guessing you most likely need the AppleAC97Audio.kext from 10.4.3. Thanks for your response... Does your Audio card work 100% (not just 2.1 config). I have a 5.1 speaker system and I don't know how to get them all working. I tried going under preferences-audio but can't figure out how to set it up as 5.1. If you think that the appleac97audio.kext from 10.4.3 will work do you think you could show me how to load it... I'm not yet farmiliar with this procedure...THANKS!!! Luke D.
