Raggedjagged's Extensions.mkext for boot-132 for the GA-EP45-UD3R I stumbled upon these today-haven't tried them:
With a kext, there could be incompatibilities down the road, it's another thing that an OS update might muck up, and, last but not least, there's the distinct possibility that if I hacked a kext to fix the icons for my internal drives, any actual removable drive I'd use wouldn't show up orange like they're supposed to-they'd show up like normal internal drives, which isn't what I want. My 3 drives are always going to be in my machine, and once I set a custom icon for them, I never have to worry about it again. I also installed Paragon NTFS so I could read/write my Windows drives too, that allowed me to change the icons for those as well! Click on the little icon on the top left corner. Click on the hard drive on the desktop with the orange, removable iconĩ. Click on the little icon in the top left corner.ħ. Rather than load another kext, which someone around here suggested in another post (there's also a way to hack it into one of the existing kexts too), I just manually changed the icons of the drives in 'Get Info'. all that hard drive icons are shown as removal drives.Īnother post had mentioned that this was the correct behavior as AHCI drives are indeed hot-swappable (and so displayed as orange drives on the desktop)! So while that behavior is functionally correct, it's not aesthetically correct.
The NVkush I've included is for my eVGA 7200 GS.ĮDIT: While *I* haven't personally had any problems with the IDE/JMicron ATA drivers I've posted, others HAVE, so I have attached the driver that supposedly has been fixed for RAM > 3gb.
So far so good! Install disabler.kext if you plan on doing the update to 10.5.6. Grab Latest_889a_ AND fromĮDIT: I've attached the kexts I've used now through my 10.5.4 -> 10.5.6 update. No sound, no networking, and OSx86 tools tells me I need to update my JMicron driver (for my IDE devices). Loaded up the installed-checked the NVKush option for my 7600GS in Customize, and the installation crashed before it finished. Word to the wise: make sure your Hard Drive is connected to the YELLOW Went to the BIOS, in Integrated Peripherals and set SATA RAID/IDE to AHCI -AND- the other SATA controller setting to AHCI down below. I grabbed my USB DVD-ROM, bit the bullet, grabbed JaS 10.5.4, and went to install it. Installed Chameleon on it as well, booted to the Leopard galaxy splash screen and crashed. I tried imaging the Leopard Retail DMG to a 16gig USB flash drive. I'm going to get ahold of a Leopard retail disk and try it. Tried the boot-132/chameleon thing-not much luck, but then again, I'm on an IDE drive and using a DVD-DL burn of Leopard Retail-neither one bodes in my favor. This board has one and absolutely requires that it's connected (in my experience today, using just a regular ATX12V 4-pin connector doesn't work, I get weird reboots and such.) I snagged a 4-pin to 8-pin adapter (just splits the 4 wires) and everything is great.
Apparently these are common, except not all power supplies are wired for them.

These guys have it nailed, and I have since switched to all their kexts.
