Heres where I kept going into trouble...
Used andys installer package for the ati6000.. but the ati6000controller.kext and the hda892 kext hadn't installed properly and was stuck with no sound and video stuck at 1024.
Went through and deleted the offending ATI kext, and the HDA kexts. Ran those in multibeast and rebuilt permissions and caches. Restart and Voila... It all seems to be working for the most part.
A f**king massive thank you to Andy for his boot CD, To Tony and everyone that helped make multibeast, Yoga for answering a couple Questions prepurchase, insanlymac crew, and finally to all of you osx86 modders for inspiration and helping me get this thing up and running!!!
First new computer in 7 years, and it feels good to have built it with the OS I wanted!!!
w00t!!!!
Now I just need to install my other 3 hardrives, get windows on one of them, add my scsi card( If it will even work... stupid vintage audio samplers), tweaks for performance, and then restock my machine with programs!
Till next time
