People don't bother to read, end up getting "Waiting for root device" and come running back.

I didnt want to be disrespectful. I have 4 systems at home, 3 nf4 AMD and one Intel, with iPC only 25% (1 system) works. I did everything by the book (I'm in osx86 long enough so i know what i have to do), tried complete and minimum setup (bootloader, chipset, kernel) didnt work either way. With Leo4All and Kallyway (both 10.5.2.) i had 100% success.
And I understand that some distros just dont work on some systems. I like iPC, it has many many kexts, fixes, updates, kernels etc. Would be nice to use it with all my systems.
I think that in some cases the 10.5.6. update in distro is to blame for not working. Apple did a lot of changes there...
I will give a try with the final version, till now i used beta patched version all the way to PPF5.
i wasnt here in the challenging Tiger days. But, from what I read it was almoust impossible to get 10.4 working on AMD system so I guess i didnt miss a lot of fun
