Please someone has had to run into this problem with photoshop or can at least help me with figuring out the ide on ds3p. ive been looking for leopard but people just arent using this board, more the ds4

 

 

Here is my setup and process:

 

ideneb 1.6 10.5.8 install via usb dvd drive

vanilla kernel

fix for 800mhz memory

ethernet prov100 (sp?)

nvkush

jmicron patch

 

rig:

 

gigabyte p35-ds3p

nforce gfx 7950gt 512mb (fully working!)

audio installed alc889a

2.13 ghz intel core 2 duo

4 gig memory 800mgz

hard drive serial ata raptor 74gig

 

after i installed my computer boots up under a minute and i installed the recent security update and everything seemed good to go!!!

 

here's the problem, when i open photoshop it runs great until i try to use the patch tool or stamp tool or try to drag and drop a layer. i just get the spinning wheel of death! i cant force quit or anyhting. But if i try to activate front row via keyboard short cut it works?!?! i can save the file just fine, super quick. no problems with transfering via usb or anything like that. so far besides audio, this is the only problem ive run into...

 

would this be the "ahci fix" that is provided on the dvd?

 

i really would like to be able to turn of ahci and run in ide mode if thats possible, i suppose thats a whole trick though.

 

thanks a bunch team.
