Alec246 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hey Guys I followed the gigantic BOOT123 tutorial to use a Retail Mac Disc on my installation, I was able to install using the CD, but when trying to create the Boot section on my HD things just didn´t work out... After doing it all exactly like the tutorial I got a boot1 startupfile message when trying to boot without the CD. The truth is I tried to get the kext i needed for my Motherboard, Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi, but I´m a noon oh Mac OSX, I always used Kallyway, so maybe I picked the wrong kexts and this is giving me this error. Anyone with the same MB as mine could plz tell me the steps you did that made your OS work? Thank you very much!

The truth is I tried to get the kext i needed for my Motherboard, Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi, but I´m a noon oh Mac OSX, I always used Kallyway, so maybe I picked the wrong kexts and this is giving me this error. Anyone with the same MB as mine could plz tell me the steps you did that made your OS work? Thank you very much! Hi, Please supply the following: *hardware motherboard? / bios version. VGA? CPU? harddisk IDE/SATA ? cdrom IDE /SATA ? *bios correct bios settings? most of the default bios settings are ok, but the IMPORTANT ones to correct are AHCI=on IEST=off C1e=off "other speed or powersaving options need to be off" sleep=s3 #make pictures of you bios screens and post them if you are unsure *software you did try retail leopard, you did get the installer working... MBR or GUID?, were you able to boot retail leopard after install with the boot-132 cd? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so yes? than when you want to boot without having the cd into you computer everytime: install: 1 a bootloader #needed to emulate efi environement _easy chameleon installer Chameleon-1.0.11-installer.zip _or manual terminal install =3 steps Chameleon-1.0.11-build.tar.gz& Don't restart yet! Copy the next *.kexts to /System/Library/Extensions 2 dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext #needed to decrypt apple protected binary's 3 IntelCPUDisabler.kext #not needed when DSDT.aml is patched, or mach_kernel.voodoo is used 4 go to terminal and type without the '#' sudo -s #goes to super user, type your password cd /System/Library/Extensions #navigates to the extensions folder chown -R 0:0 * #changes all kexts and sub dirs, to root user only chmod -R 755 * #changes all file permissions for the user cd ..#navigates one folder down rm -R Extensions.mkext 5 restart 6 now you got the minimum patched files to boot your OS So, Video, Lan, or Audio /shutdown /timemachine fix, serialnumber etc will need to be patched later but its a start Goodluck and remember that these are the minimum steps to get a retail installation working if your system is matched mostly with a real mac... these steps ALLWAYS work, if you are using GUID partition table and OSX on the first partition of the drive... Are you having more OS's on the same harddrive? prepare for more trouble but start with OSX PS: Files will probably be located on the preboot 132 iso... otherwise google...

Alec246 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thank you so much for taking your time to help me walterav So, first my Hardware. Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi AP Bios 0910 I think. CPU Core 2 Duo E6400 Oveclock @3.2Ghz. VGA is a Nvidia 8600GT 256MB. 2Gb DDR2 memory and all this is going on a SATA 500GB Hard Drive, no other OS, it´s all for the Mac. Yeah, I've downloaded a boot 123 Disc for somekind of Asus MB, that had similar specs to mine. I booted OK using it, and Installed my Retail Mac OS 10.5.4 Disk on a GUID Partition. After the install, I restarted with the Boot123 Disc without problems. So, I did as you told me to, but things didn´t work out well... Chameleon Went fine, it booted OK, real fast, real easy, but I got the same Press the Restart Button screen right after Boot. I tried installing dsmos.kext but I kept receiving a msg it´d have to be reinstalled, maybe that could be the problem? I got mine from a Kext Pack for 10.5.6 I had, maybe I should try another? About the other Kexts, like ethernet and stuff, do I just put then inside the Extension folder? Thank you for your help!

Ok, well after 132 install, boot with the pre-boot iso, install all updates... than restart with the pre-boot till all updates/patches are done, or use combo update package if you have no internet... 10.5.5 will really work, 10.5.6 needs extra usb patch... than follow my old guide and... Just add more kexts, nvkush.kext for the nvidia, does your board has marvel gigabit lan? search for LegacyYukon2.kext or Legacyyukon1.kext, also put them "drag drop" in /System/Library/Extensions #the next commands needs to be typed when the terminal has navigated to the /System/Library/Extensions# chown -R 0:0 * chmod -R 755 * !!!Boot with -v so we can see were it hangs!!! Files: GET your dsmos.kext from the initrd.img on the pre-boot iso BTW are you sure your harddisks are running AHCI mode, is you harddisk on the first port0? And are you really sure that dsmos.kext IntelCPUDisabler.kext are installed? Are you really doing the terminal stuff, or using something like kexthelper, or osx86tools?

I thought everyone would be using that now since that´s the only way you can get all the updates directly from Apple. Why would I install Kallyway if that would make my PC officially a Hack? Exactly what part of "Retail DVD Guide, 10.5.6" did you miss? And for the most part, even if the methods stickied at the top of each forum category mention a public release build, they can be applied to retail install dvd's. You'd realize that if you really took the time to actually read and follow them. Furthermore, since you're installing an OS that is neither engineered to natively run on hardware outside of those made by Apple -- who, for the record, does not condone these installation methods where their own software measures are bypassed -- your build will already be a hack regardless of what dvd the installer comes on. Why do you think our machines are called "Hackintoshes"?

It´s so frustrating I´m thinking about giving OSX a time, at least going away from the Retail, it´s just not for me, too many codes and kexts, Kallyway was easy as hell to use, I wonder if there´s something like that updates to 10.5.6, that´d be a nice option!!

Thank you for the effort Hi, Relax... take your time to see that only 2 kexts are really needed... if your able to boot with the pre-boot 132 disc your almost there... The chameleon thing step1 went fine, because it starts to boot... The next step, step2 adding KEXTS, just might get wrong somewhere... Could you press F8 during boot prompt and type -v at the darwin bootloader, so we can see were the systems halts on booting? otherwise try booting with; -x -v #this means save mode, and verbose so you have more chance to boot or try -f # this will force bad installed kexts to load don't give up your almost there... can you also post some bios pictures? This is the first and most Important step for all the hackintoshes!!! If you just add them we can make sure all is fine and focus on the next step... because kalyway will run fine on maybe IDE harddisk mode, but retail leopard will give you a grayscreen of death when not running AHCI, maybe the pre-boot cd also has drivers for it, but the retail were making right now doesn't... also cpu settings in bios, can work with kalyway and with pre-boot-132disc, but not with retail, because there can be a different kernel or other patch on the pre-boot-132-disc that is not on your retail harddisk so for your machine, you should use, dsmos.kext, IntelCPUDisabler.kext, and nvkush.kext. The last one for the Nvidia card... the audio ADI1988b, AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and LegacyYukon2.kext for lan comes later.

Alec246 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Some good news!! I finally managed to make it boot without the CD!! YEAHHHHH, got the files and instructions from this topic http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=79096 Worked out pretty good it seems! My only problem is now with the Ethernet, it´s giving me nightmares! My P5B Has two, Marvell Yukon 8001 and 8056, it seems 8056 isn´t working on 10.5.6, 8001 would, but I can´t get the Kext to load, as soon as I place it in Extensions I get an error msg it needs reinstalling, I´ve tried checking .plist like some said here but it´s all fine, don´t know what could it be UPDATE: Got my WiFI Working, so at least I have some internet, would it be interesting updating to 10.5.6? I realize I can only do that downloading Combo Update right? And I have to do it first thing, before my kexts and bootloader, if not things would go wrong, if so, I gotta do a reinstall Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1055356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to do it first thing, before my kexts and bootloader, if not things would go wrong, if so, I gotta do a reinstall nice to hear you got it working but do you still know what kexts are added? So you got the minimum to worry about when updating... otherwise its as vanilla as kalyway if your still don't know whats around... but hay its a good start kexts: ACPIPS2Nub.kext < better use usb keyboard and mouse and avoid this kext... ApplePS2Controller.kext < same reason as above "can cause sleep not working..." AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext < Are you using ide or AHCI mode? not necessary AppleVIAATA.kext < this one might be for jmicron IDE controller, but it can cause lockups/kernel panic AttansicL1Ethernet.kext < your motherboard doesn't have a attansic chipset but marvel HDAEnabler.kext < think its for the alc883 LegacyAppleHDAPlatformDriver.kext < also alc883 AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext < if adium / amsn or CS3 suite doens't work remove it and try smbiosresolver.kext if you go for real retail leopard you'd better avoid these kexts... For lan you can really use the legacyyukon2.kext somewhere on this forum, its only for the 8056, but it needs a vanilla ionetworking family Sleep/shutdown if you want sleep to work well just stay with 10.5.5 and use appleazaliaaudio.kext "2 channel stereo only" the taruga version might give some troubles with shutdown or restart... If your machine doesn't turn down... make sure your dsdt.aml is used and, openhaltrestart is installed... old way =install Chud package + poweroff fix for updating: you can only update using Apple'supdate tool, when you booted from the pre-boot-cd, or when AppleDecrypt.kext is loaded before osx is loaded via EFI-partition EFI-partition might be your next step if you know what your doing... PS: can you please look at your bios... might have a feeling that your running IDE mode, and need more patching than necessary because of the AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext displayed on the link you gave me.

Alec246 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well I´m gonna do a clean install with Retail after I get it all figured out, this one now if for testing and getting it working 100% I Set my BIOS to AHCI everywhere I could, so no, it´s not running IDE mode when I boot OSX, only when I go for my Windows boot, cause it crashes if set on AHCI, even being on another HD I´m not gonna install those you said are not needed for mu P5B, thx for the info ;-). As I´m running on AHCI, do I need AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext? I don´t care much about Sleep mode, so I´m gonna update to 10.5.6 on my next install, ethernet is the only thing missing for me, this forum is real hard to find for information... Damn, I can´t find anything I´m searching here but I´m gonna give it another try Thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1055833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

First make the floppy with the intel matrix storage drivers. www.intel.com mac won't boot until you patch AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext ? if you are in IDE mode... If you are in AHCI mode, and if you're lucky you only need, AppleDecrypt.kext and Disabler.kext, than it will boot if you installed chameleon. i'd recommend AHCI for retail, for stability and performance video: instead of nvkush.kext you can also use the Efi-string, with osx86 universal installer, but just select the right graphics card, amount of ram Gt /GTS etc Lan: can you disable the other lan in the bios? legacyyukon2.kext < this one is really cool because you can use updates, and it will always use the newest driver http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=35596 if legacyyukon 2 is not working you can try manual editing via , old way, terminal again: cd /System/Library/Extensions <-- changes directory sudo nano IONetworking.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Info.plist <-- edits file (find and change: <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>) (to: <key>Yukon-88E8056</key>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</string>) (to: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8056</string>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>0x436211AB</string>) (to: <string>0x436411AB</string>) <-- change "62" to "64" (press Control-O) <-- saves changes (press Y and Enter) <-- accepts saving to existing file (press Control-X) <-- exits nano sudo chown -R root:wheel IONetworkingFamily.kext <-- repairs permissions cd /System/Library <-- changes directories sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache <-- rebuilds kextcache on reboot WIFI: you already figured out, download the driver from the realtek website, install reboot, and it works... audio: try mess around with the audio (1988b), if you don't touched audio before, you could use appleazaliaaudio.kext or try to use taruge rev4, also available on the net. the taruga package automatically removes azalia.kext.

Hi for efi partition: just start working with the terminal: than munky's guid is very easy, only put AppleDecrypt.kext on the efi partition, all other kexts on your machine should be updateable... first try to learn to navigate with the terminal like old school msdos times... cd dir# changes to a directory called dir "local" cd /System/Library/Extensions# is changing a dir, global, you can type it from every folder your in, because of the first / is starts at the root of the startup disk... cd ..#navigates one dir back... all other volumes on your mac are located in /Volumes/ So you can find your osx startup disk at the root of the terminal / and strangely enought at /Volumes/nameofstartupdisk/ btw terminal lets you see alot more files than finder does... especially with root modus=sudo -s just watchout with the 'rm' which means remove, there are no warning messages and no trashcan to get it back -R in a terminal commands means... all the underlying files or folders will get the same treatment... ----------------------------------------------------------- But from now on, you just have to write yourself a little help file with all the Previous steps...after that If you know for yourself the minimum steps to boot the retail, than figure out the next steps, for audio lan video, kexts or efistring=boot.com.plist, or dsdt.aml shutdown / sleep, smbiosresolver, and maybe timemachine fix, these are all the steps you need to check. but i can still count them on one hand... Start with getting to understand the dsdt.aml thing, it needs a different bootloader than chameleon package... the bootloader will look on the harddisk for a file called DSDT.aml, maybe in the efi partition, you can test if the DSDT.aml is working when you delete the Disabler.kext from your system, if it still boots it runs the patched dsdt.aml. efi manual http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127330 download v6.1 skip the sh script part, script did'nt run on my system... do not copy your extensions to EFI/Extensions but to /EFI/System/Booter/Extensions the last dir you have to make yourself, and only place appledecrypt.kext there, or Intelcpudisabler if you didn'tpatch dsdt,aml Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1057903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec246 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 WoW, another awesome guide So, before reading your EFI guide I tried doing everything exactly like the Efi Manual told me to, the only difference was that after my first boot still using the CD after installating I installed Mac Combo Update 10.5.6 and restarted the PC, is that wrong? So, after doing the entire guide, I didn´t have sound, graphics with no Quartz whatever and no Internet since the Kext for my Marvell didn´t work, I guess sending the .Kext to EFI/Extensions don´t work so well, right? Should I send those to EFI/System/Booter/Extensions or should those kext go to my regular System/Library/Extensions folder? I don´t think NVRush is working for me, can I update EFI Strings using the app that I got from that other guide, or does it have to be done by hand chaning the one inside EFI Partition? It´s making me kinda crazy Last but not least, this DSDT.aml, where do I put it? I have a GUI that will auto intall that for me, but I bet it won´t work with using EFI to Boot my OS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1058156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterav Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 WoW, another awesome guideSo, before reading your EFI guide I tried doing everything exactly like the Efi Manual told me to, the only difference was that after my first boot still using the CD after installating I installed Mac Combo Update 10.5.6 and restarted the PC, is that wrong? Nope: no matter you install you're update before, or after efi method doesn't matter... but read on... APPLE-UPDATING: The whole deal about updating with combo.dmg or apples update program is the next normal procedure: #The system loads the new files kexts 'while' its updating, #It will restart and boot ONLY 'half way' and than the 2nd restart , #It boots to full OSX and its installed and running fine... 1 #problem: During the update, combo.dmg or apple software your system would just hang... or get kernelpanic halfway the installation proces , this was because: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext was installed back again and loaded during the update process BAMMMM kernel panic!!! "in the old days you had to delete it, but updating brings it back..." netkas wrote a script for it so you run the script... than update... the script was removing AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext on the fly so it could not be installed and loaded... #solution: install IntelCPUDisabler.kext, this one blocks the loading of AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ""so you don't have to remove it"". patching DSDT does the same thing right now.... #old solution: type in terminal before updating... 'while sleep 1 ; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ; done' So if you have IntelCPUDisabler.kext, you can update... ATLEAST al lot of us THINK YOU CAN but there is more 2 #problem: After the system installs the update it reboots... but only halfway. In this period the system needs to boot your decrypter, so apple runs, Don'tStealThisMac.kext, but we need ""dsmos.kext or Appledecrypt.kext"". So we need to force the loading of dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext #solution pre-boot-disc / efi partition. This was very handy with the disc, because just boot from pre-boot disc, update reboot, reboot again and it works...because the decrypter is already loaded!!! #old solution, Don't use apple update!!! but combo.dmg, after the update finishes, DON't press restart, go to terminal: nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1 # nano is a text editor in terminal, and '1' is the file name search for Don't steal.... and change to the name of your decrypter save the file... and than press REBOOT, ofcourse you can't do this if you used Apple Software update Util, because it leaves the GUI, and directly reboots after the installation was successful, therefor use the dmg So, after doing the entire guide, I didn´t have sound, graphics with no Quartz whatever and no Internet since the Kext for my Marvell didn´t work, I guess sending the .Kext to EFI/Extensions don´t work so well, right? Should I send those to EFI/System/Booter/Extensions or should those kext go to my regular System/Library/Extensions folder?I don´t think NVRush is working for me, can I update EFI Strings using the app that I got from that other guide, or does it have to be done by hand chaning the one inside EFI Partition? It´s making me kinda crazy EFI partition right now, is new and as usefull as people think, only for some kexts... this is because of DEPENDENCIES! So people try to put alot of stuff in there, lan, audio, ata, ide, ahci etc... but most of it will never get loaded, or loads halfway and therefore stall's or hangs the loading of the driver if its installed in the normal /System/Library/Extensions So if you only put a decrypter in EFI/System/Booter/Extensions and remove the Extensions.mkext, than you are safe for updating. The script of the EFI-manual transforms the extensions you "bravely" put in EFI/Extensions > to System/Booter/Extensions.mkext, but the script didn't work in my situation... Audio, can be placed in /System/Library/Extensions # first try azalia, than maybe taruga driver video, you can use osx86 tools, or universal installer to create an efistring. Just place it in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/boot.com.plist it can also be placed on the efi partition but didn't workout in mine... nvkush, may only work after 10.5.3 till 10.5x, Lan, try to put the Legacyyukon2.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and ofcourse DON't forget, for every kext you put in /System/Library/Extensions or somewhere else! you have to go to terminal and type: chown -R 0:0 * chmod -R 755 * Last but not least, this DSDT.aml, where do I put it? I have a GUI that will auto intall that for me, but I bet it won´t work with using EFI to Boot my OS it must be placed in the root of the EFI partition, and has got to be named DSDT.aml So if you are in terminal and are in the dir which stores the patched dsdt.aml type cp dsdt.aml /EFI/DSDT.aml btw: which retail version of leopard do you use? 10.5.0 ? PS: fast navigating in terminal can be done, by typing 'cd' in terminal and drag drop the folder from the finder window into the terminal, press enter and there you are,,, Also when you type a filename/dirname/command in terminal you can press 'TAB' on keyboard and terminal will guess the end of the word... Even if you typed only one LETTER like cd L > cd Library removing a file in terminal: rm file removing a directory rm -R directory.kext #kexts are directories !, R means all underlying stuff to Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1058334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec246 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 They should make today an official holiday, I have MAC OSX running 100% boot from EFI with all my kext working, wow thats awesome, and thats with 10.5.6 update!! My Retail DVD is 10.5.4 Well, actually, graphics are OK, ethernet is OK, its all fine but one thing, About This Mac tells me my CPU is running @ 3.8Ghz, when its actually at 3.2, is that an issue or just cosmetic? Anyway, I did as you told me, only decrypter inside EFI all the others on the good old extensions folder, Do I need SMBIOSEFI and OpenHaltRestart.kext? Didn[t put those as Extensions and its all running fine YOu really helped me, i never thought I could get this far, thank you very much...

Its comsmetic, as long as you have smbiosresolver installed, its fine... you might edit some plist in smbiosresolver to display correct timings, cpu speed etc Anyway, I did as you told me, only decrypter inside EFI all the others on the good old extensions folder, Do I need SMBIOSEFI and OpenHaltRestart.kext? Didn[t put those as Extensions and its all running fine YOu really helped me, i never thought I could get this far, thank you very much... Smbiosefi, don't use it, just use smbiosresolver... Openhaltrestart only works when your dsdt.aml is patched... it will make your machine shutdown properly without (Chud + powerofffix.zip) the only thing that might me a problem is timemachine fix... "UUID35"this may be done with efistring in boot.com.plist just use a tool for that, like the Universal installer or osx86 tools.... just remember that updating will overwrite all the kexts you may have replaced or edited, but if you use only kexts that are extra to the vanilla ones there is no problem... btw did you get audio 2 channel out, or the full taruga rev 3 /4 package Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1059652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec246 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Actually I dont think I have s,bioresolver installed, how do I know? If it seems to be running properly, I think theres no need for it, right? So you think I should use the timemachine Fix on the Universal Installer? Even if I dont use this tool at all? I didnt gtet about the updating, what would be kexts extra to the vanilla? Well for the Audio actually Im using a Sound Blaster Audigy2ZS, which works perfectly with KxAudioDriver, amazing work, I dont have to change my audio cables between OC and MAC, but Im pretty sure I had only Stereo on my MB Sound, no Line In or Mic In at all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1060088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it seems to be running properly, I think theres no need for it, right? Well if you don't put in the kext yourself its not there..., try amsn or adium if it doesn't run get smbiosresolver.kext So you think I should use the timemachine Fix on the Universal Installer? Even if I dont use this tool at all? well some othter programs also depend on this uuid35 error, but you might not need it, just in case there is a solution for it I didnt gtet about the updating, what would be kexts extra to the vanilla? Kexts, that are replaced "vanilla" ones which are modified to work with your hardware are gonna be overwritten by apples new ones with an update... but if you use other kexts not the same as apple's own ones, you can update fine because they will not be overwritten... like nvkush, or azalia audio, or legacyyukon..., but if you changend IOnetworkingfamily.kext it will be overwritten... Well for the Audio actually Im using a Sound Blaster Audigy2ZS, which works perfectly with KxAudioDriver, amazing work, I dont have to change my audio cables between OC and MAC, but Im pretty sure I had only Stereo on my MB Sound, no Line In or Mic In at all nice to hear you got the audigy working... but if you might get instability or kernel panic, i thinks its the first device to throw out...

Alec246 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well, you said it, it happened Kernel Panic after a while using the Mac, I should first go for the Audigy right? Get rid of the Kext, that´s too bad if that´s so, cause it´s nice to have a crystal clear audio on my Mac :/ Well Adium worked, even without smbiosresolver, nice! I have to say I did all the Apple updates, I hope that´s not the cause for my Kernel Panic Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148451-problem-on-retail-with-asus-p5b-deluxe-wifi/#findComment-1062277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterav Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, you said it, it happened thinks its amsn, instead of adium...

I have to say I did all the Apple updates, I hope that´s not the cause for my Kernel Panic Just type a list of all the extensions you added, or changes you made to the retail leopard, only than I'm really able to know were to start... but just for sake just throw away the audigy card, it sucks anyway , hdaudio is as bad/good as well, if you want good audio, buy rme, or m-audio, or aardvark, or whatever, but not any creative card... its good for gaming, and xp. The driver of the 1988b had worked a good year for me without kernel panic, you might try the taruga v4 version, it only conflicts with ati HDxxxx cards because of hdmi audio out, nvidia should be okay. even my extigy is dumped a long time ago...
