I GOT IT WORKIN'!!

[PatS]

Alright, so after installing the BETA drivers from the NVidia project thing, I stopped getting the kernal panics, and now I can boot into regular mode just fine...

 

Here's my specs:

 

-MSI PT880-Neo (FSR)

-P4 3.0GHz Prescott 800MHz FSB (HyperThreading Enabled)

-12 gig HD (For The OS) 80 Gig HD (SATA, Split to two 40 gigs, one for windows, one for OSX), 30 Gig for windows (I unplug the drive that has the OS that I am NOT using, but I will be installing a bootloader within a day or two...)

-NVidia GForce 5700 PersonalCinemaFX (By PNY) <-- Works at 1280x1024x32@60 on VESA 3.0 picks up 128MB

-Sony CD-RW (52x, picked up as CD-Burner in iTunes, but I haven't tried it yet)

-Sony DVD-Rom

-External TDK DVD-/+RW (Haven't actually plugged it in yet, but I have one, lol)

-Some sort of LinkSys ehternet card cause my onboard GigaLan doesn't work, this worked with some sort of drivers...

 

Thats about it, oh and i use a logitech keyboard(PS/2) and a microsuck basic digital mouse (USB).

 

NOW, I have a couple things that bother me and I would like to fix, I'm sure something is said about them in the forums somewhere, but I don't know which is best or whatever, so if you could at least point me in the right direction, and be nice about it, that would be awsome...

 

1.) sound is... wierd... choppy, crackly, whatever, iTunes sounds like it's coming out of a friggen cell phone (the old kind), it has that midi-ish sound to it, yuck, anyways, my sound runs through my motherboard... it uses the Via VT8237 Chipset -- "Integrated Hardware Sound AC'97 audio". If someone could tell me how to at least make it better, that would be awsome. Oh yeah, it only comes out the left channel, but that I could live with...

 

2.) I have a lexmark P915 printer, it connects through USB. Last night I hooked it up, and it picked it up (I told the Printer App thing to run in rosetta, so I could use the PPC drivers...) but when I tried to add it to the list of printers I can use, I got some wierd error. I haven't tried to actually install the Lexmark drivers(Naimly cause I can'y find the disk, stupid me...) but I have this wierd fealing it won't work... Anyways if you have any suggestions that would be cool

 

Thanks guys for all your help so far...
