After some screwing around, I finally got 10.5.2 rev2 installed on my system, but I am unable to get it to boot.
First off, I had some problems with IOUSBFamily.kext. Someone in another thread told the OP to remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext instead, so I tried that first but the problem persisted. Finally I removed the IOUSBFamily.kext and that problem was eliminated.
The next issue I had was a "display: family specific matching fails" error (when booting with -v -f -x). I seem to have fixed this by removing NVinject.kext and NVDAResmon.kext.
Now after all this, I'm getting a "unknown SIGSEGV code 0" on boot.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
My specs are:
M/board: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
CPU: AMD X2 4400+
Video: Gigabyte 7300GT 256mb
I'd really appreciate any help you can give me!

Okay, I have now resolved this issue myself.
For anyone with similar hardware, try reinstalling without selecting a kernel. I believe this installs the 9.0.0 kernel, which works fine for me
