I have downloaded the Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI Rev.2 with the guide of WinLinMac01 over newsgroups. I burned it on DVD [4x speed]. I booted from it and came into Leopard menu. I chose german as default languge. I used the Disk Utility and made a partition for Leopard(called "leopard") and a second for Windows (called "DATA"). Iused Mac OS Extended
(Journaled) as format and I selected Master Boot record in the options.The DATA partition was formated with FAT. Then i went back to the Installer and chose the leopard Partition as destination to install leopard.
Then i continued and customized the Installation (graphic driver for hd 3870; AC97 sound driver ; ToH kernel SSE3 9.2.0; additional fonts; and the sb drivers. I started the installation and the DVD has been checked. The DVD check hasn´t had any errors. The installation went to the beginning of the the second girder of the X. It said that are about 5 minutes left.
Then it said that i should restart my computer. WHY? after the restart he only wanted to boot from the disk again!
I tried this with three different DVDs about 6 times.
My hardware:
MSI k9a platinium (rd590x+sb600)
AMD Athlon x2 6000+ 3ghz
Samsung 250GB SATA2(in 2nd plug-in)
Samsung DVD SATA2(in 1st plug-in)
2x 512MB extrememory 2x 512MB GEiL all DDR2 800
Sapphire HD3870
PS. one time the installation went until the last minute and had the a unknown error
I hope you can help me!

Try to install without any drivers and add them later by booting in safe mode (-x) and installing them from DVD separately.
Doing so, you will identify the problem driver and then you just have to search internet for alternative driver that will work.
If so, it's may be a problem with your hardware. Try to disable all unneeded devices in BIOS (LPT Game Midi COM etc.). Try to boot installer in safe mode too. As the last resort - try to install Zephyroth 10.5.1 Rev.1 - it works better with SB600 bridges.
