Unable to install SL, unable to update from 10.5.4

Hello,

Hopefully someone can shed some light on my issues here. Ive been all over forums and google as well as *a different site*...

1st- I can seemingly only install 10.5.4 with Leo4all or iDeneb.
Ive tried iAkos 4.1 and 7, which show the "no" symbol on cd boot.
Tried iDeneb 10.5.4, 10.5.8 with the same results; 1.3 (10.5.4) will install.

2nd - I cant update successfully - hangs with a kernel panic; nor can I boot SL (to a seperate HD, possibly due to it being an ide hd). For example; Ive gone through many guides, fought with DSDT patcher (build fail), copied kexts, repaired permissions and all that, but no matter what I do I get a kernel panic on my Leo side afterwards- even though I hadnt modified anything on that drive - only the SL drive. I cant boot to SL - I get a loading Darwin X86 prompt, then it hangs with a frozen cursor.

I dont necessarily need SL, I just need something higher than 10.5.4- preferably .8 but will settle for .7 - Im trying to run iLife9 since my mac g5 upstairs is a ppc and a slow-balls POS.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you need any more information, I would be glad to post it.

Thanks for your time.
