I installed Jas 10.4.8 and installed the 10.4.9 updated that was packaged with it. Everything worked fine except a few things do not work and I have no clue on how to fix them.. since I am pretty new to this. My ethernet does not work along with my sound card. My built-in wireless does not work either but I heard that is normal. If anyone can help guide me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Also, when I first installed the mac os my computer it ran kinda funky... menus popping up late, animations were not smooth. I came across that if you disable core duo it will fix these problems and it did. But I was wondering is there way to fix these issues without disabling the core duo feature?

Just released yesterday: uphuck 10.4.9 Intel x86 install dvd v1.4i r3

 

I just installed it and can verify that the included IONetworkingfamily patch from 10.4.8 will make the Broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) chipset work that didn't in the previous releases.

Not sure if this will work, but exchanging cpus=1 for clocksource=acpi_pm might work. I actually got this from a Fedora Core 7 issue on the Dell E6400.

 

I am no longer running a Hackitosh as I purchased a MacBook Pro a while back.

 

Good Luck! :rolleyes:
