just leave your installed lawlessppc leo 10.5.4 and put IATKOS v7 DVD into your drive and boot from dvd rom, then press F8 and boot with this cmd rd=diskXsY where X stands for the number of disk on which you installed LAWLESS distro and Y stands for the partition number of disk on which you installed LAWLESS distro. examples: in my case
disk0s2 (first disk, second partition)
then hit enter it takes 2-3 min at grey apple screen and keep your eye on HDD LED or DVD LED lights repeatedly if not try again, then your lawless ppc leo 10.5.4 distro must boot, in my case it worked, i think it load all kexts from iatkosv7 distro then boots into lawless leo 10.5.4 distro.
try this may this help

Solution 3 - already have an IDE drive [OK]
Solution 4 - already have an SATA optical drive [OK]
Solution 5 -
rd=0s0 [still waiting foor boot device]
platform=x86pc -v [still waiting for boot device]
platform=acpi -v [still waiting for boot device]
-f -v [still waiting for boot device]
-x -v [system stopped,num lock freezed, or i have to wait > 1h ?]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have some other suggestions ?
seems with the injected AppleNForceATA.kext.zip it didn't work either.
with the original image - without injection, i had now the only success to install it,
but it didn't boot up.
Maybe i should also try those 1-5 solutions with cpus=1 ?

any help much appreciated.

Hello, excuse my poor english , i'm from Belgium.
I'm on Snow Leopard on a M4N72-E motherboard. Everything works ! Ethernet (just a bug i must activate lan after the boot process, i try to fix but i just finishing the installation), Nvidia 8500 GT (qe/ci), sound ...
Just for your help, for my experience it's impossible with IDE. I buy a DVD-ROM in sata and use the Hazard DVD ....
Kernel 10.2 - For Sound just AppleHDA - NVEnabler and NVInject for NVIDIA - NforceLan installed automatically - Must put Apple RTC (because no DSDT.aml)

It's not my first Osx, some things must be fix in the futur but installation and boot is easy ...

Over

PS : at the end of the installation i have a bug just after reboot, i must shut down with the button but no worry that's work. Suppose you know how formatting and how manage partition and boot.
M4N72-E
Ahtlon X2 5200+
2Gb DDR2 - 800
Nvidia 8500 GT

now i try to install it without injection of any driver,
only change the HDD from IDE to SATA for install, maybe now it works.
i hope.
