• SATA & IDE: Installed OS onto IDE drive without problems. Also have two SATA drives in Striped RAID configured through MediaShield ROM, but the RAID showed up as two individual drives in Mac's Disk Utility during installation. Cannot access RAID even after installation.
• Optical Drive: BenQ DW1625. During the 15 odd times I booted from the DVD to install, after the first 6 or 7 times, the installer started saying that it could not read from the disc. This was happening when it normally would check the media for errors. So, I re-burned a new disc using the same drive of the same ISO(which I had initially created from the original (now problematic) disk). The new disc worked. Maybe, just a very fragile disc. But, weird.
• Shutdown and reboot works. Sleep gives a blank (black), unresponsive screen. Have to hard reset.
• Had to run the installation, with the same options, multiple times for it to get it right. After a few installs, I was getting the gray screen asking me to restart the computer. I really don't know how I got around that problem. I just installed again without changing any options. Finally, when it worked, I had my ethernet cable unplugged. In the Customize list, I had chosen the nforce chipset 2/3/4/5 kext, AC '97, forcedeth, nvidia geforce 10.5.2 and nvinject 128 MB for my 6600GT graphics card. Name of volume: Leopard. I chose the EFI v8 plus MBR bootloader to make the "Leopard" volume bootable. I'm using grub to choose between my various OSes. SSE3 9.2.0 TOH Kernel chosen from the Customize list.

• Graphics: integrated video not tested; using AGP card (128MB Geforce 6600GT) with NVInject 128 which is working great.

Do not install video kexts until after updating. Fix black screen and long boot times with toh 9.2.0 kernel. Or avoid this entirely and use Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD.
• LAN: Works with viarhine.kext, but has dropouts and you have to restart. Use wireless USB adapter
• Even Fully supported PCI LAN cards Tends to drop out just like the on board, many people are having this problem just with this particular chipset no just the motherboard. Tried many things to get this to work but have not had success, some bios tweaks make it last longer but it still dies from heavy usage.

• Install Method: Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev 1 6a61fa1bc-21 (latest from uabit.com)

• Audio: No Onboard Audio, using PCI card

• SATA & IDE: main drive hooked up to main IDE, storage drive hooked up to first SATA port, not added later until install was stable. dvd (slave) and dvd burner (master) are on second IDE port
• USB/Firewire 400: needed a general usb kext, googled "usb kext for leopard" firewire worked out of box.
• Do not forget to repair permissions after install, then run marvins if u got amd
• software updates cause firewire to stop working along with ps/2 port! clear cmos jumper fixed this, unsure of cause
• Use -x on first boot
• set master jumper on ide hdd as well
• Setup First boot in safemode
• Use kexthelper to get that usb kext installed. also google "time machine fix"

Added: In my case, somehow installation of Modbin's package did not does the job. However, I extracted the kexts from the installation package matching with my device ID (using Pacifist) and drag those kexts to /System/Library/Extension, authenticate and replace, then I got QE/CI/Rotation and resolutions (though missing 1680x1050).

Recognized as X1600.

• (Model: V7603GT21) The stock fan noise is not detectable all the time. One may need to move his hand close enough to the fan to see if it is running.

• Works with NVinject or EFI string
• (Model: 256P2N553DX) The stock fan gets really noisy during booting (post) and then becomes really quiet. It becomes noisy right before Sleep, and keeps running like so after Wake.
