zephyroth,

Just for confirmation
I have to apply ur suggest solution in the terminal utility after booting from the DVD
or on the boot menu of dvd with flag as -s !!!

And also to mention that i have nvidia geforce go 1650 graphics card .... if I remove all the kext related to geforce & nvidia won't it break something other ????

prateesh, don't worry, It's not going to break anything.

To get rid of that firewire error whilst booting (in your case in single user mode), disable 1394 (FireWire) in BIOS.
It's not a problem to re-enable it later, as it will work.

Just disable it for now, and when your System will be set up,
then enable it again and you'll be able to use FireWire flawlessly.

Boot with -s again, or if it doesn't work, boot the dvd and use the built in Terminal.

Make sure that you type these commands as given:

Quote:
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
exit
After you successfully booted up your system (and only if you are on Rev.1),
install zephyroths NVIDIA drivers, which can be found at the wiki http://osx86.wikidot.com

I remove all GeForce and NV kext's and remove -v -legacy. Works fine for me without trouble. Big thanks for all people who work on this project and for helping us to run it on AMD machines.
My comp. runs on both cores.
Problem is with booting(can't boot at all and for booting i\m usinf tiger-install tiger and over it iinstall leopard and problem solved).
Thanks again and god bless u all.

Puttabong thanks for posting fast.Will u tell me how to fix booting without installing tiger first. I try'd with fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0s1 and all similar apraches but still nothing.
One question. When will be rev.2 and will it be ppf file or whole DVD. I ret'd to putt darvin boot loader in this AMD leo but still did not test it ( i putt it like in iatkos 1.0i in disk utility folder).
Thanks in advance your truly friend Lugmor.
