iPC dev. Thank you for all your hard work

I have been running Zephyroth's 10.5.2 updated over the last year to 10.5.5. I have had some issues, but nothing I couldn't fix or live with. I liked it so much, I gave my G5 to my wife and my HacIntosh became my main machine. When I tried to update to 10.5.6, it all came crashing down around my ears. I kept back-ups so nothing of value was lost. I tried to install (unsuccessfully) almost all the distros out there (including iPC 10.5.6 beta), and finally settled on Lawless 10.5.4. However, I couldn't update it, even to 10.5.5. I became acutely aware of my need for stability and bought a MacBook Pro. Today, after several tries, I installed iPC 10.5.6 final on my HacIntosh. I have been able to iron out the few glitches, and now it is more stable than it's ever been.

Again, thank you to all that worked on this, and all who contributed to the cause.

Rick

Possible installation?

Is it possible to install iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 on my system, I have tried with other distributions I while a go but never succeed with them probably due to my Nforce3 chip. So to my question: will this distribution work on my system, or do I have to prepare the installation DVD with some special Kext for example VIA instead of AppleNforce.
(I have install all the updates to the DVD, five updates).

Apple NForceATA: found 0 units

Hi Hara Taiki, PCwiz & all, Can anybody advise on how I can work around this problem? I can install iPC but cannot boot into install,Apple NForceATA: found 0 units. I have a Presario F500 AMD Sempron. Chipset is Nvidia MCP51, nForce 410/430 MCP. I have tried many different ways but cannot boot. I can, however, install Kalyway 10.5.2 and Leo4all 4.1 and boot to desktop but I really want iPC and it's superior peripherals support and voodoo. Please help me. There must be a way to include what I need to boot.
