I have been fiddling with 10.5.8 for like the last twelve hours. I finally have managed to install Mac OSX 10.5, update it online to 10.5.8, and then boot from my external HD without the need of the boot CD.

 

I am using a the following hardware:

 

E2180@2.7ghz

GA P45 DS3L motherboard (F10 bios)

2gb of memory

USB Seagate 320gb External drive (as main drive)

SATA DVD/CD drive

 

I have been following this guide:

With this guide on DSDT:

Ok, so I created the DSDT file on a seperate computer, then loaded into my chameleon/extra directory as per the instructions. My video card was not supported by EFI loader, so I used X86 tool, created a custom Geforce Plist file (with the tool avialable, nothing fancy), and then generated a newtork plist with the same tool, pieced them together, and added it to the apple.boot.plist.

 

This worked wonderfully for my VGA. I no longer get trailing windows, and I inserted an HD DVD and played the media, which worked must fine.

 

However, my ethernet is still unavailable after resetting my router several times. I have a LINKSYS WRT54GL with stock firmware BTW, and I am using a CAT 6 wire to connect.

 

I followed the special instructions for audio when using DSDT, and I did everything the guide said for ethernet too, also with no luck.

If anybody can do anything to help me out I would really appreciate it, and I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong here.
