roberto Romero Paraiso Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi! I make all that the first instructions in the first page of this post... All has gone well but usb and firewire sometimes don´t work properly... I explain: I have an external box 300GB Seagate Barracuda USB... If it is on when I prompt my hackintosh, the hack will recognize it... If it is off when prompt and I put on it when the hack is prompted, will not work. I have a Firewire Sound Interface TC ELECTRONIC KONNEKT LIVE (HTTP://www.tcelectronic.com/KonnektLive.asp) and occurs the same... If on when prompt, works, if off, not work. Please, HELP ME.

FromMac2Hack Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've heard some good reviews about the ASUS WL-138g V2 (Works OOB - Out of the Box according to many). I got it today and will install it when I get home tonight from work. You rock, man...I'll give that one a shot. Hope your rebuild goes smoothly.

VasH Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 After the update to 10.5.4 I've got only an issue: when I've to turn off the pc, the system shutdown but the fans keep working and I've to press the power button for 4 sec. I think this is caused by the Vanilla kernell. There's something I can tweak in Bios settings or can I only change the Kernel? thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something I can tweak in Bios settings or can I only change the Kernel? thank you. Have you done this? run "2_kalyway_10.5.3_kernel.pkg" Do NOT select ANY of the Kernels listed. By leaving them unchecked, it will keep the Sleep kernel we installed during the 10.5.2 installation - this is needed for proper restart/shutdown.

MacInsanely Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 You rock, man...I'll give that one a shot. Hope your rebuild goes smoothly. It works perfectly, detects as Airport right after Leopard is done installing (no kext editing needed). I got everything working perfect on 10.5.4 but no matter what I try with the audio, it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauria Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is there a Pcwiz approved upgrade to 10.5.4 method! ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 This is the pcwiz approved update method! Use weaksauce's update guide, worked great for me. I don't know about video support though, NVinject sometimes stops working after 10.5.3, so if you are using NVinject, before updating, I strongly recommend that you switch to a GFX string.
