ASUS P5B+SCSI: 10.5.2 Success story !

[garikfox]

Hello all, I'm a total n00b at Mac's, But after reading these forums for 4 mos. I decided to post my results.

 

 

Motherboard: P5B BIOS 1803

CPU: C2D E6400 @ 2.13Ghz

Mem: DDR2-800 4GB Corsair

Video/GPU: Diamond ATi HD3850 256MB

Audio: ADI1988 <-- Azalia-Out

HD-A: LSI-21320-R SCSI RAID Card w/ 2 x 15k 36GB Fujitsu's in RAID 0 --> /Leopard <-- My Main OS

HD-B: 80GB WD SATAII drive. For Vista, lol <-- I boot to this by just switching boot order in BIOS.

DVD-ROM: 1 x Lite-On SATA el-cheapo, 1 x PATA/IDE Lite-On el-cheapo on Jmicron. --> IDE Mode

USB: 1 x Logitech el-cheapo corded laser mousey, 1 x Enermax USB keyboard non-el-cheapo, lol

 

OS X: Kalyway 10.5.1 <-- Installed flawlessly using Non-AHCI

Partition type: GUID w/ EFI-GUID

 

After the First initial install and the first boot up, I deleted the "abrev"DSM".kext and made sure the dsmos.kext was there. Then I repaired permissions, Then deleted the .kext cache file. I rebooted.

 

Then I installed the Kalyway 10.5.2 Combo updater.

 

After the 10.5.2 update I installed the Kalyway_kernals pkg. Repaired permissions and rebooted.

 

After the kernal, I installed the new natit.kext from netkas (he's awesome). Then the Leo-graphics Update, Rebooted.

 

Lastly and to get the graphics actually working I installed the *x2000.bundle (white menu fix), Then re-installed the netkas natit.kext using "kext helper b7", Repaired permissions deleted cache extension file and rebooted.

 

 

I'd like to thank the forum, Kalyway and of course netkas.
