I don't know why my previous post was removed.

 

Anycase, I've HP workstation with Xeon W3680 (6 core Gulftown.X58 Express chipset).

After several attempts, I am able to boot 10.6.3 with "busratio=25" and CPUID in the BIOS disabled. All the

cores with HT enabled work just fine.

 

This is using Chameleon 2.0 RC4 & vanilla kernel.

 

Things not working:

 

1. NVS 295 - swapped out for Quaddro FX570

2. onboard BCM5764M gigabit ethernet - will be swapping out for Realtek

3. onboard LSI SAS controller - it appears correct kernel extension is loaded but

when I create a RAID setup in the bios Leopard doesn't recognize it. So, using

SoftRAID for now.

 

4. Sound - not tried yet.

Can you explain if you are using a distro like like Leohazard or did you built a custom dvd or usb using Chameleon 2.0 RC4 & vanilla. Also, what were your bios settings. Please be specific.

 

Thanks!
