Author Update #3 @FoneBone 2008-02-06

so i decided to reinstall and i gave it another chance, but the end was the same. has anyone else the ToH_kexts.zip from the wiki?

btw. it's not nessessary to reinstall, you only have to copy the two files from the boot cd to your hd and restart osx first time with -x. that's it.

is it possible that your files aren't compatible to OS X 10.5?

Author Update #5 @FoneBone 2008-02-10

Now it works… I've found an AppleSMBIOS.kext and there was no need for the IOFamilyNetwork.kext.
