HCL 10.5.7
This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.5.7 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

AnV XNU 1.4 Kernel | need some patches | ||
4CoreDual-SATA2 | VIA PT880 ProUltra / VIA VT8237S |
If you have the 9.5.0 kernel you will need the Seatbelt.kext from 10.5.5 If you have the 9.6.0 kernel you will need the Seatbelt.kext from 10.5.6" iPC install contains 9.5.0 version, just add it at customize. Seatbelt.kext Issues so far:
Fix for 1 CPU issue: download a modified bios, [1] choose file 4CoreDual-SATA2 v2.10 After you flashed the bios, you can simply install it without the need of the cpus=1 One Core fix, and can use both(or more) cores of your cpu ;)

After Update 10.5.7, Audio not working you need to patch the AppleHDA with this patch [13]. Just drop this file [14] over the AppleHDAPatcher, and thats it, restart and you will have a working sound again.

Intel D945GNT | Intel D945 | Installed fine using iDeneb 10.5.6, selecting 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel with 10.5.5 Seatbelt and System kexts. Using AppleHDA.kext from previous working 10.5.4 install, onboard audio works (line in and headphone jacks are reversed). Haven't tried onboard GMA950 video. Using HD3870 with iDeneb Radeon patch. All works. Requires USB sleep fix. Firewire works. Upgraded to 10.5.7 with apple combo, replaced kernel, seatbelt, and system before reboot (have terminal, finder, and osx86 tools open before starting install, otherwise you cannot launch them and fix the kernel, etc changes) | no/no | No, but fully works after patch |
