If i need to boot xp i press F12 at the BIOS prompt and choose XP hard drive... Yeah I have OS X as first priority. I have Windows XP & Vista on 2 other drives, I have to press F12 at Bios... a bit of an inconvenience but cant complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I boot into windows vista for some video encoding using virtualdub (divx / xvid files) and a few other things. Also I need Windows XP for gaming.

I would think you would need to run NVinstaller again but I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you'll need to use NVinstaller to install the new 8800GT driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilby Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 whats the diference between SpeedStep kernel and the Sleep kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 SpeedStep kernel works with Intel SpeedStep (SpeedStep has to be enabled to take advantage of it) and the Sleep kernel makes sleep work fully. When I was still on 10.5.2 I used the SpeedStep kernel since Sleep wasn't a huge priority for me, and it worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatever92 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi, I've done something incredibly stupid - with a 10.5.2 install, I did an Apple software update (including updating to 10.5.4 I believe). Now every time I boot, I get a black dialog telling me to restart the computer. I've tried booting in verbose mode and it seems to panic on something to do with the cpu power management. Is there any way I can back this out or am I up for a complete re-install? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i*C Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 its a lot easier to reinstall... its going to take you an hour to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauria Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 How many of you have successfully upgraded to 10.5.4 with this guide by weaksauce? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=112708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny V Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I used Weaksuace's guide to go from Kalyway/PCWIZ 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 Just be smart about what NOT to install as the guide is specific to only one motherboard the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2.0. If I remember correctly I didn't install the sound kext and a couple other things as it was not compatible with my motherboard. Best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrisha Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Guys. Realy need your help. I'm quite ofter geting grey screen with english, grench and german words about that I have to restart my computer press and hold power button bla bla bla (you know what I mean). And I noticed it's mostly happen during copying files. I have IDE drive with leopad 10.5.2 installed and three SATA ntfs drives. For it I'm using macfuse with ntfs3g driver. And yesterday I uninstaled ntfs3g just for expirement. For 24 hours everything was stable till I decide to copy few files to fat32 formated flash drive. So, I got again grey "screen of death" What could be a problem here? I tried with and without AHCI mode enabled. Tried to play almost with all bios options. Not helping. Could be some conflicts in system? I used Kalyway dvd 10.5.2. And I choose kabylkernel, AppleGenericPCATA, AppleSMBIOS-27-MP during installation. After I installed audio, network and SATA kexts. Also I removed J-Micron kext as well. Week a go I tried itkos 10.5.4 for a few days and was same problem there. But was some extra problem with quartz and video overlay and I decide downgrade to 10.5.2. Since Kalyway was okey with this. My specs is: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R with Intel Q6600 Quad Processor GeForce 8800GTX 4 GB Ram 3 SATA drives 1 IDE hard drive and IDE DVD drive. Thanks in advance, Shrisha. __________________________________________________________ For anyone who has same problem. Looks like I fixed it. It was 4GB RAM problem. So, I got rid of IDE drives and added "maxmem=4032" string to boot file. Now no crashes. So far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
