Hi,
i make a guide to install Leopard on P4M890T-M2 for those who have my same HW
(See my sign for HW )

What we need :
- iDeneb DVD 1.4 - Leopard 10.5.6
- some Kext -> see later
- Windows Xp installed and running

So begin:

0) From windows create a primary partition MBR /FAt32 and name it Leopard
Boot iDeneb DVD and with Disk Utility format Leopard partition with HFS+ journaling, MBR, and make it active and bootable.

1) Install iDeneb DVD with these options:
- Kernel 9.2.0 (better compability)
- Chipset Via/sis/marvell
- NvDarwin 512Mb - video per GeForce 7300 -> only if you have my same Video card
- network card RTL3189 - no kext needed OOB
- audio card - ALC662 -> install Kext later
- AppleACPI_SMC_Fix -> very important
- Cpus=1 Fix -> very important
- All applications - if you want

When the installation on HDD is finished and reboot PC, you stop here :
....
MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers ...
.....

2) Now from windows XP , use transMac to copy/update the kexts needed
if a kext is present , you need to delete it before to copy to S/L/E
- AppleACPIPlatform.Kext
- AppleAPIC.Kext
- IOFamilyPlugIn.Kext

3) Now reboot HDD with -x -v parameters ( use also cpus=1 if you don't have select it during installation)

if you get a Kernel Panic on AppleACPIFamilyPlugIn (you need to reinstall Fix ACPI SMC Fix fron ideneb DVD ) deselect "main system" to make fast patch otherwise all the files are reinstalled ( it takes too much).

4) Now you get welcome screen, bla bla, create user ,etc.

5) Then with KextHelper you can install audio card ALC662 using AppleHDA.kext inside ALC662_kext.zip

6) That's it

See attached Files

Cheers

Hints:
- In Bios set SATA to IDE compatible mode
- To dual boot from Win XP you have to use chain0 and modify boot.ini adding a line C:\chain0="Mac OS X86"

Hi Dj-Elroy,
for KP try to verify/repair permissions on OSX HDD with Disk Utility.

For ATI X1900 - you must use NATIT.kext for Leopard : it enables QE/CI for X1900

Hi Dj-Elroy,
Try to substitute the Kernel for fix Kp.

Use iDeneb Dvd , deselect iDeneb System pack , and select Kernel 9.2.0 .
