Well, I successfully installed 10.5.2. Dual-boot is working fine, but I just can´t pass the step where you have to type your name etc etc because my ps/2 keyboard doesn´t work at all.

I tried to put many hacked kexts on my extensions folder using Windows+MacDrive but none of them made any difference. Even if I try to go to terminal using -s when the shell comes up I can´t type anything.

 

My set-up:

 

Abit KN9S (chipset Nv550 I guess)

Athlon64x2 3800+

2Gb RAM

USB Microsoft Mouse (working fine)

PS/2 Generic keyboard (NOT WORKING)

I already finished the OSX setup, that´s not the problem. I also can´t type commands because my keyboard DOESN´T work anywhere after the boot. Can you PM-me where you downloaded your 10.5.1 zeph DVD? Maybe it´s a 10.5.2 only bug.

try this boot offa the cd and in the darwin loader type rd=diskxsy x=the disk u installed mac to if u have 1 disk then its 0 y is the partition # 1 2 3 etc that way it loads the default kexts from the cd including the ps2 contoller if that dosent work ur gonna need to "borrow" a usb keyboard 10.5.2 isnt bugged but if u want 10.5.1 u can get it from the usuall places :):(
