Turns out Eddie's did the job after all. I had an error with Zeph's release at the end of the install, prob EFI related but I couldn't be bothered so I went for Eddie's.

All good except for the GFX panic at first boot. I removed the proper kexts and then went for Zephs universal Nvidia installer with NVinject 0.2.1. Hopefully I can get my GFX string back later on.

So now I will take it step by step over a few days, I'm not in a hurry and will backup almost every major step of the way.
I'm not going to do the idlehalt tweak just yet cause maybe this release runs without issues.

So thx Eddie for the release. Hopefully you will still make proper updates too. 10.5.3 is near it seems so...

Eddie11c has been doing great with his latest release. Attached is picture of the statistics of the Official Wiki. Amazing numbers we are witnessing here. - Cheers

I tried to install leo4all rev2, installation succesful, instead of zeph's distro, which didn't even get to the installer stucking whith error «iousbfamily couldn't enumerate connected device». but using leo4all i noticed, that it's rather unstable, although i didn't load too much 3d-party kexts or something like this. actually, the only 3d-party kext was geforce & nvdaresman, others was OTB. i 've been noticed that there are different problems with system's permissions — they crashes regulary, though i didn't change anything. owner often resets to «system», i managed to enter password to write in folders which, actually, should be easy write-accessible for admin users and so on. because of it there are often problems with system's perfomance — it's rather slow, and with applications — one day photoshop just didn't want to launch, saying something about disk permissions. maybe someone has similar problems, or eddie knows a solution? yes, i tried permission repair, i'm not an idiot, but either terminal and disk utility didn't find any problems except few errors didn't connected to system files, which appeared every time i launch DU. any suggestions?

specs: nforce4 MB, athlon 3000+, ide hd, nvidia 6600gt.

Hi Guys. I'm working on a new computer for a friend. It's an Intel Core2Duo. Asus P5B. Intel P965 / ICH8. JMicron disabled in BIOS.
DVD boots fine. Created the partitions fine. Installs fine. Eject the DVD and it boots in Verbose mode loads lots of kexts just like normal, then right after it switches to the smaller text, it stops and says 'waiting for root device' (or something similar) Any ideas? Leo4All rev2. Using SATA DVD and SATA Hard drive.
Thanks!

Try this:

Issue: Upon booting DVD installer you see a message "waiting for root device…" This is a known issue that comes up quite frequently. Your IDE or SATA chipset may not be supported by the installer. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this problem. You must have a working install of OSX to do this.

Solution 1 Find a known working kext for your specific chipset.(Google is your friend)

hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite

Create a folder named Extensions on your Desktop
Unpack Extensions.mkext from the Leopard.ISO in this folder
mkextunpack -v -d /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Remove the MeDevil's kext(AppleNforceATA.kext)
Replace with the one known to work for your chipset
Fix the permissions on your new file
type

kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/mach_kernel -m /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions.mkext /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions

and place the newly created Extensions.mkext into the ISO and burn it to DVD and try again.

Thanks man, but the DVD booted fine so that wasn't the issue. I actually let the Kalyway DVD partition and format the hard drive, re-installed and it works fine now. Except for LAN. Marvell chip set but I don't know the Device ID. Any network cards just work out of the box?

Yep, just swap in any Realtek Ethernet Adapter (Ethernet Card) and that should do the trick. ;-)

Awesome! That did the trick. :-)
Oh! And the root device issue was because I forgot to check the ICH8 patch during install. My bad. ;-)

lol, not a problem. :-)

Funny stuff actualy. I see releases coming from everywhere for AMD yet all I read about are non working systems. Crashing, mouse movement bugs and what not.
I'm now at full default settings for my CPU and RAM and if I still experience the same issues then there isnt one single release working properly nor is there ever going to be one, for AMD that is.
I still wonder what the purpose is of these releases. Look at the desktop or working with the OS. To me, it seems OSX86 on AMD is more like a toy and on Intel it's serious business. Too bad though since currently I cannot afford an Intel or real Mac.
Anyway, I'll hold my nagging for later, when it does turn out to be everything else but my system.

On the good side (if there isnt even one in my case) Eddie's release has been the best for me.

Alright, I'll leave my system running overnight this time with Lightroom, Photoshop and others running and hopefully the apps wont crash this time.

Sorry again for my frustration and take care lads.
