Has anybody succeeded in installing on an ati x200 chipset with an sb400?

In tiger this has always been a problem the ata access would be so slow that installation took practically forever.
Solution was to install osx through vmware than install these kexts: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=13413
And than boot natively.

I can't get leopard to install through vmware, spinning beachball on starry backdrop is as far as I get.

ps.
I did get qe ci working on my ati x700 mobility using callisto and koverg patches andybody got this working in leopard on a x700 or similar card?

1.twist im running zeph 10.5.1 the only problem i had is the 1 minute left issue and occasionally i had to make the mac partition bootable...after reinstalling leo of course :)... oh yeah i have it installed on a ide hdd
2. you cannot install leo in vmware :)

Okay thanks! so I gather 10.5.1 will install without modifications? Or did you have to use the zappadoc or scousi ata kexts?

without modifications
