Nathan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Okay, my main issue is that my network card is not working properly. I have an onboard Broadcom 440X chipset, It's recognized in OS X but it says that the cable is not plugged in. In system.log, this is the only relevant thing I can find: Nov 21 11:05:12 localhost kernel[0]: AppleBCM440XEthernet: Ethernet Address 00:0b:db:2a:05:da The last part being the correct MAC address of the card. It works perfectly in Windows and Knoppix. I remember some problems with certain distributions of linux, though. Note: Mac OS X is now the only operating system installed. There is also nothing about the NIC in the BIOS settings (This is a modified Dell Dimension 2350 system). Aside from that, neither of my sound cards are detected (SoundMAX Integrated Audio & Soundblaster Live! PCI) and my second display device is not detected (Intel 845G? integrated) and the All-In-Wonder VE PCI (Radeon 7500 chipset) card is only using a default VGA driver at 1024x768 & full color. I'd like to be able to use the S-Video output along with other modes, and as a lower priority the capture abilities. Also, Rosetta doesn't seem to work as iTunes crashes immediately and I can't run any of the Intel apps using Rosetta. (Also, System Profiler does not list SSE3 for my processor but it definitely does support it. - It does not support SSE3.. wtf?) Can anyone help me solve anything? I'm familiar with the Terminal, so don't be afraid to send me some commands to put in. System config: Pentium 4 2.20GHz (SSE2 & SSE3) Marklar-Tiger.dmg file I believe? 768MB RAM I/O Magic DVD-RW Samsung CD-ROM 27GB WD HDD Broadcom 440X onboard Soundblaster Live! PCI (doesn't need to work or can swap with other audio) - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio All-In-Wonder VE PCI (Radeon 7500) (secondary, would be nice if worked) - Intel 845G? integrated graphics Among other stuff. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4716-broadcom-440x-other-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Okay, I got the network working correctly by unplugging the machine and booting back up. So that is fixed. I also have one more minor problem - I have no bootloader. Is there something I can install from within OS X or from a live linux distro? The HDD layout is as follows (I know it is odd..) disk0s1 - DellUtility (30MB partition with various utilities and such) disk0s5 - Macintosh HD Hournaled HFS+ I'm using rd=disk0s5 off of the DVD right now.

mortis Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 maybe use smartbootmanager and boot from floppy? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4716-broadcom-440x-other-issues/#findComment-30510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
