A8N-SLI
NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
Install Method: Zephyroth 10.5.2
BIOS Version: 1604; Revision: Beta
Audio: Realtek ALC850 (Selected AC'97 from Customize list)
LAN: nForce4 built-in Gbit MAC (Selected forcedeth from Customize list)
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.
EFI: Since I installed using Zephyroth's 10.5.2, I'm assuming it installs EFI by default?
Yes, everything works without patching. No flags needed while booting.

SATA & IDE: Works `Out of Box` -See Note Below
Installer will not recognize any storage devices unless configured in BIOS to IDE, AHCI will work once installation is finished. Kernel seems sensitive to Boot Disk Priority Configuration and will have random kernel panics at boot if system disk is not in the proper order of which the disks are connected to their respected ports (BLP0SD2). Sleep mode does not always work and may crash. Hard Disk Spin Down functionality is abnormal (Continuous Spin-Spin Down at irregular intervals without reason.) . .
Install Method: Kalyway 10.5.1, then to 10.5.2 (using Kalyway's combo update and kernels)
Board: ASUS P5BW-LE
Chipset: P965
BIOS Version: 5.08
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13 GHz)

LAN: Onboard Intel 82562v ethernet doesn't work; removed internal PCI modem to install Netgear Gigabit PCI Adapter (GA311), which works out of the box
SATA & IDE: Works out of box (see below)
BIOS needed to be set to AHCI and not RAID in order to boot from Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD, otherwise it just hangs at the gray Apple logo. Dual internal hard disk drives: 1) Vista install (C:) w/ HP recovery partition (D:) and 2) (E:) Dedicated solely for OS X, which was partitioned as MBR. Booting back to Vista requires BIOS to be set back to RAID.

Power Management: battery meter works with patch, sleep works, no SpeedStep so far
On the first boot after install this computer locks up, the problem is the IntelGMA kexts. To fix it boot into safe mode using -x. Install the Apple Graphics Update(you'll need a usb network device), remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMA950*, and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer. We wont be needing those as we have the X3100 video. Find and install the Natit kext which helps with video.

Samsung X11 cv02
Install Method: Kalyway 10.5.1 & Combo Update (PCEfi v8 and vanilla kernel with ACPI fix)
For Update to 10.5.2: Be sure to take a backup of your /System/Library/Extensions directory, as the 10.5.2 AppleACPIPlatform.kext stopped my keyboard and pointer working (even in single user mode). fixed by booting -s from install DVD and reverting to backed up 10.5.1 kext.
Laptop runs hot. Fan speeds appear to be changed in response to cpu load. No idea if speedstepping is active.

Install method: Used Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD followed by the Kalyway 10.5.2 combo update using the modbin 9.2 kernel (I tried vanilla 9.2 but it caused endless reboot cycle)
Warning: I stupidly installed the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 and it caused black screen boots with no safe mode possible. Had to fix by booting install disk, going to terminal and removing all graphics related kexts. Best avoid this update on this machine.
