Perhaps removing it from your machine, starting the machine up and
running for awhile, then re-install the card would get the new OS
X.5 to pick up the card. Or just move it to another PCI slot?
(similar re-install idea).
This worked a while back for a two port USB2 card with an NEC
chipset, and its not even meant for Mac. It was causing the video
not to work most of the time and the boot sound to sound like a
skipping CD, but after running the machine a few days without it
and putting it back in (i need USB2 as my one USB 1.1 port is dead)
it works fine!
Sounds absolutely voodoo. Will try it.
It was suggested to me that when installing a new level of OS X, that
I return the Mac to its original hardware state. For my QS 2002 Dual
1GHz, that would be to remove all PCI cards, and put the original
Geforce4 MX back.
Afterwards ... replace the video card with my newer ATI Radeon 9800
Pro, and add back in my M-Audio 2496 PCI card.
Upgrading within the same 10.4 or 10.5 OS X to its successive levels,
up to 10.4.11 and 10.5.8, can be done without removing the add ons,
for the most part.
Curious if the original poster had success with his machine?
