After seeing that a lot of people have problems with the P5B and the 965 chipset in general, i am happy to report that everything is now working perfectly with 10.4.8 on my PC! :D

 

I have an Asus P5B (non-Deluxe/WiFi) and an MSI 7900GT video card. The CPU is a Core 2 Duo. After applying the Gigabyte and Natit patchers i have QE, network and sound live and kicking...

 

The only caveat is having to specify the root device on boot, but I'm sure I'll figure out that part RSN :D

After all i only just got this installation...

 

Thanks alot JaS, semthex, mifka and the rest! Keep up the excellent work!

i have also the p5b mobo, but sleepmode does not work for me. it seems like it goes sleeping (fan stops for a moment) and directly wake up to a black screen..

 

Sleep behaves more or less like yours, the difference is when it comes back i get the display back. Seems that power management is totally borked after a trip to never neverland, as the qfan (mobo fan controller) is spinning all fans at full speed and shutdown/restart wont even work. I'm guessing it is setting the wrong state right after going into sleep, but i wont pretend i know how to solve this. Devs? :P

 

Also, the root device issue is solved. Just leave a disk - any disk - in the DVD drive. Maybe this can help others with the "waiting for root device" syndrome as well..

 

More investigations in the days to come... Time to play around with WoW :) (which btw seems to be running fine, but way too fast... guess i need that fsb= afterall... :) )

Congratulations!

I made some mixes (Install 10,4,6, then update to 10.4.8. Install Np_ to get lan and video working) but no go for audio. I've got the P5B (no wifi, etc)... did you use some particular method?

 

Thanks a lot
