1. Install Zeph's OS X 10.5.1 (there is no instant reboot problem with this install DVD on Phenom)

1.1. If you have "waiting for root device" message on boot, you need to add chipsets ext to install DVD, this is can been done easy with Transmac under Windows. Just download chipsets kext, copy it to Extensions folder on ISO (using Transmac) and burn new install DVD. Boot DVD with "-f -v" flags.

1.2 If you have "blinking cursor" problem on boot of installed OS X, here is the solution http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc3

2. Update to 10.5.2 using "10.5.2 Update for AMD only, eddie11c".

3. Install Apple Graphics Update

4. Install drivers (video, audio) (kext helper is a good tool, if something goes wrong you can delete trouble kext from Windows using Transmac or just boot with -s flag, do as sayed on screen and with help of unix commands (rm (remove), cp (copy), ls(list current dir), cd (change directory)) fix problem from shell)

5. Update kernel to latest (using Kalyway all kernels package)

6. Fix rosetta (if games and some apps are crashing on start) (Solution taken from here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=91260&st=0#)

6.1. Download this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html

6.2. As root, move /usr/libexec/oah directory somewhere safe for backup
sudo -s
cd /usr/libexec
cp -R oah oah.bak

6.3. Copy the downloaded file into /usr/libexec/
rm -rf /usr/libexec/oah
cp -R ~/Downloads/oah

Thanks to the developers for a chance to try Mac OSX!
