I notice that the OS 10.5.6 update just released claims to have fixed this problem altogether.

You have a PC with a fancy motherboard?
How could that ever work with Time Machine?
Are you running Mac OS Leopard in emulation somehow?

[anyway, as you mentioned: "no en0" -- so that stumps me right there.]

You are running on an unsupported hardware platform and in violation of Apple's Software License Agreement which limits OS X to use on a single Apple branded computer. Your odds of ever getting Time Machine to work are somewhere between slim and non-existent and since this is an illegal installation, this topic cannot be discussed further on the MacFixit forums.

That's a big 10-4 good buddy.

And thank heavens as well... it's hard enough trying to
discombobulate things that are *supposed* to work. wink
