I have a eVGA 680i mobo too and I'm struggling with a different problem, my mouse and keyboard work fine after a boot into the installation screen using the JaS 10.4.48 disk but it cant see any of my sata drives.

 

I'm assuming this is due to a lack of drivers for this mobo thus far of course but could any one confirm that? ;)

is there a 680i driver set available already? i was under the impression that it was still in dev

 

i ask cuz i'm getting the same mobo next month ;)

No stable SATA-support, most other hardware should work out of the box.... except (possibly) for USB2.0-support which should work after installing the latest generic EHCI-driver from here -> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28559

Yikes. I was actually thinking of attempting something, but I have *only* sata drives... including the DVD burners. Maybe I'll scratch this idea as even getting the disc to do anything would involve a hardware swap.

I was able to install using the distro called "Mac OS X 10.4.9 Intel SSE3 [JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.iso + JaS.10.4.9.Combo.Update.Intel.SSE3".

 

No LAN, Audio or SATA. Had to install to an IDE drive.

 

I understand that the nforce4SATA driver package (https://developer.berlios.de/projects/nforce4sata/) may enable SATA.

I understand that the AzaliaAudio.pkg.zip package may enable 2 channel sound.

Still looking for LAN.

Alot is working for me now, got it running, and got ethernet "Intel Card", And Audio. I do notice slow downs and lockups :thumbsup_anim: but hay it's still in dev so i cant complane ;) Also I figured out that you have to disable the USB keyboard and mouse option in the bios in order for your ps/2 stuff to work.
