iPC kext support
I have now gotten iPC 10.5.6 and written it to a dvd (actually, about 5 dvds). I cannot get it to boot up and get to the install. The closest I get is an apple screen that flashes, and then it reboots
So I am thinking that it has something to do with the kext. Can anyone give me the general idea of which kext to get? Thanks!

What do you see before it reboots on your screen, when booting up in verbose mode?
(F8 on startup then issue -v on prompt) What spec does your hardware have?

Yes but if you get the Apple screen, then you should get something when booting in verbose mode.
A message like booting Darwin and else. What motherboard?

Well ok it's Dell. Doen't mater at this stage anyway.
OK, at that early stage no kext is loaded. The bootloader has been loaded. I guess the kernel is loaded or about to load. Is there no way to get to the darwin prompt, so you could enter something? Press F8 several times as soon as the DVD drive starts spinning up the iPC disk. Sometimes it gets ignored when you are to slow.

More help than you wanted.
 Maybe the disk is corupted. Have you burned it on a R- with slowest speed (x4)? Yes I know DVD number 6. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
