Sleep mode works flawlessly but I am unable to get the system to Restart or Shutdown properly. The other issue I have is that when running the Disk Utility it takes awhile to get all of my drives to show up. I am also going to try moving my SATA DVD drive to one of the jmicron ports as I get slow response from the other SATA ports. I am very hesitant to upgrade to 10.6.2 until I get my other issues resolved first. After that my ext plan would be to get a dual boot to work with my Win 7 x64. I currently have to press F8 to select which OS I am going to as the Chameleon R3 will show my Mac OSX properly but shows my Windows RAID as two seperate HDs. Thank you so much for all of your guidance and help.

Don't know if they're trying to avoid it or what?? Thanks for contacting Nikon Canada about your AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens. In any lens sometimes tiny air holes remain in metal parts during the component production and may appear as rough surface areas on the metal. These marks appear greatly magnified when viewed through the lens under direct illumination but are in fact tiny and completely normal. These marks in no way affect image quality, lens function, performance or any other aspect of the lens. Further, these areas do not create any dust inside the lens.

I got everything working and I'm on 10.6.2. I went from scratch and used your kext but made my own DSDT.aml. I didn't modify it though (need to study that a whole lot more). I used the same usb stick for the install with the method you linked in the 4th post but used Chameleon V2 RC4. I didn't end up with an /Extra folder so I made one and put the DSDT in there along with your com apple boot plist that I modified because I'm dual booting with Windows 7. I dont have a smbios plist though. Is this a big deal? I've heard its mostly cosmetic but maybe theres more to it. At any rate everything is running great! I have not done so yet but I'm assuming its ok to use software update for safari and other things. Please let me know if its not. Thanks for yours and everyones informative post here :) shifter Good News! I got everything working and I’m on 10.6.2. I went from scratch and used your kext but made my own DSDT.aml.

Maybe thats the reason? When I went to follow the 3rd link of his for the update, I couldn't really figure it out. I am a complete beginner and had SL up and running in a week but only because I followed instructions here. On my own it would have taken months also. Hence, why I really need to understand what I'm doing. I'm still trying to get my head around everything. If I get another kernal panic I'll try and post it.
