I had a minor issue which i fixed today. Somehow i missed the option in 'Customizing installation' regarding ACPIplatform in spite of several offered options. Older version was installed which was preventing system to reboot properly. I could shutdown but when i want to restart, system would just freeze. Installed AppleACPIplatform 1.2.1 now and everything is working like a charm.
Tested CS3, Autodesk Maya, Toast (now its burning cds/dvds on my sata dvd-rw)
Great job on this one! And a note to the guys who wish to install it to pay attention when customizing install; eddie offered so many options, for newer or older machines, some choices (or letting the installation install its default choices) may or may not work on your system.

I tested it completely.
Dvd burning worked right after installation, yes with roxio toast 9. I installed no chipset kexts (sb600 for my board) during installation so drives in bios were set to sata->ahci mode. Toast works fine, no errors or whatsoever.
Later i installed chipset kexts, booted in native ide mode. This way i cant burn, 0x20 illegal request (or something like that). So if i want to burn i have to set drives to sata->ahci and then burn with toast.
take a glance at my post above, i had similar issue and fixed it by installing ACPI kext from zephyrot's dvd image.

How do you set drivers SATA -> AHCI ?
My SATA Controller is different. (Also i dont have option in motherboard settings to enable AHCI)
Do you have any reboot issues? For some reason I can't restart all the way, I get to where the screen goes blank, but then it hangs, and I have to hit the reset button. I am using AppleACPIplatform 1.2.1, then I installed the one from Zeph 10.5.2 Rev2 because that partition does reboot fine.
No i dont have any reboot issues. Everything is working perfect, except DVD/CD burning.
Cool, wish I could get mine to work 100%... Everything else seems to work except my mouse stutters when I am transferring files and the reboot problem.

First try to change APIC ACPI settings in BIOS to S3.
Then if your mouse/keyboard (wireless) is from Logitech then there is Driver direct from apple. Search on their site. (Logitech control ceter installer)

Shift to USB keyboard and mouse. That works the best.
Already there Still does it. Sleep only seems to work with S1 too.
I'm happy that in 10.5.3 / 9.0.3 kernel the computer doesn't go in sleep mode no more if I press the power button. The system was awaking, but not the gfx card

Installed leo4all v3.
I can't reset or shutdown properly. I used AppleACPIplatform 1.2.1 during install.
I got kexts from the working zephyroth install. So how exactly do I fix this issue?
I now have problems with the options in the Quicktime DivX codec and during installation of xcode the system crashes, next reboot gets a kernal panic. This wan't on 10.5.1, have to check why this happens now.
Your kernel panic is probably caused by the chud framework that installs with xcode.
Hmm, thanks for the info. But it doesn't even finish the installation, it crashes earlier. So not all components of Xcode will be installed and this is bad.
naquaada, I believe the XCode crashing issue is related to 10.5.2+, because at 10.5.1 this didn't happen to me either.
However, when I installed XCode on my 10.5.2 system, the system crashed almost at the end of the install.
I rebooted and had to fix the CHUD kernel error. After that XCode worked fine, even though it didn't seem to have finished the installation, which it apparently did.
