Endless kernel panics on ASUS P5RD1-VM

[monkeyman2]

I've been working for a couple of weeks to get OSX86 working on an ASUS P5RD1-VM. The processor is a Pentium D 920, and it's got 1 gig of RAM. I used the JaS 10.4.8 install, and for the most part the install goes well, aside from no UDMA on the IDE and no way to install to SATA.

 

After install I've managed to get the ethernet working via the PCGenUli526xEthernet-1.0. I got the onboard sound working using the Azalia driver and using 0x11d41986 (ad1986a codec) in AppleAzaliaAudio.kext, and 0x546110b9 (uli m5461 audio controller) in AppleAzaliaController.kext. I've also been able to enable SATA recognition (but not booting) following the directions in the "How to enable SATA and UDMA modes for most ULi chipsets" thread (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=24047&start=0&p=281830entry281830). Enabling UDMA for the IDE doesn't seem to work though. Onboard USB half works. If I turn on "legacy" in the BIOS then OSX will see things like keyboard and mice attached. If I disable "legacy" then it won't see the keyboard/mouse but it will see flash drives and other USB2.0 devices.

 

I'm not using the onboard video, I needed to do DVI so I'm using an eVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS 256MB with Natit 0.02 dual and adding the device ID 0x039210de to NVDA40.kext and NVDAResman.kext. The monitor is a 22" LCD with a native resolution of 1680x1050, which OSX automatically detects and configures correctly.

 

The computer boots up fine (most of the time) and the desktop comes up and the dock loads. Then within a few seconds as my apps are loading, I get a kernel panic. No matter what I do I can't get it stable. It seems like it should be since by the time it panics the OS has loaded, the screen is set and all. But I'm going crazy trying to figure it out.

 

Anyone have any ideas? Is there any way I can remotely debug the kernel when it panics? And if there is a way to debug it, was the kernel built completely using the open Darwin sources so I might have a chance of fixing it?
