This is a note for how I install iPC OSX86 on my Dell OptiPlex GX620.

Hardware Spec:
1. Intel� Pentium� D CPU 3.40GHz
2. NVS290 256M Video Card
3. Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller [8086:27de]
4. Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
[14e4:1677]
5. PS2 Keyboard & USB mouse

Here is the list of options during iPC OSX86 10.5.6 installation


* Kernel : 9.5.0 Voodoo
* Video driver : NVDarwin 256M
* Chipset driver :
Intel ICHx SATA drivers
LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA
* Audio driver :
Other Audio Drivers -> AC97 Audio

After installation, audio & network won't work.


The following are the steps I use to fix those problems.

1. How to fix Audio problem :


Edit or add to
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97Au
dioIntelICH.kext/Contents/Info.plist with the following text

<key>ICH7 AC97 Audio</key>


<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string>
<key>ICH Type</key>
<integer>7</integer>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string>
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x27DE8086</string>
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>10000</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
</dict>

2. How to fix network problem :


- Download and Install the BCM57XX driver installer from
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=989345
After the installation of the BCM57XX, the network can be enabled; however the
MAC address will be all zeros.
To fix the mac address problem, create /setmac.sh with the contents
------- File Starts ----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
sudo ifconfig en0 ether 00:e2:e3:e4:e5:e6
exit 0
-------- File Ends ------------------------------

Then type the following commands under terminal.

sudo chmod 744 /setmac.sh


sudo chown root:wheel /setmac.sh
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /setmac.sh
