what i did so far:

 

removed hd and installed 10.5.6 with the mechdrew method 4 externally

http://osx.mechdrew.com/guides/nbi4.shtml

maybe this could help as well, cause i saw that the chipsets are quite the same.

removed the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

installed back the hd

in the fox central control unit:

cpu spread spectrum enabled

pcie spread spectrum enabled

 

in the cpu config:

saved and exited

booted using -v

booting takes 5 minutes (still not fixed)

 

usb works

cardreader works

LAN was found as (en2) when i opened the network control panel

there might be another ethernet device on board? goint to find some usblinux for hardware detection.

screen sharing does not work, qbox crashes after connecting

booting is still about 5 minutes.

sleep does not work :-)

 

@admin

for the osx386 database, a systems button would be great.
