Open Terminal and type
uname -aand reply back with what it says.
here is what it say with the uname:
Darwin leopard-system-product-name.local 9.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Tue Feb 5 16:13:22 PST 2008; 9c31:xnu-1228.3.13~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
Try installing the Voodoo Kernel. You can get it here: http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ ↗
Here is a direct download: xnu-dev.googl ecode.com/files/Voodoo_Kernel_Release_1.0_Rev_A.dmg
Remember to use a matching system.kext which I believe is included in the package.
thnx i will try this tonight and keep you posted.
also, do i need a special "software update" program to replace the built in software update? i used to have one but reinstalled since then and the program "amd software update" from zephyroth cant seem to be found anymore..

Zephyroth's Software News (UPDATE 2008 Aug 18) →
But if the Voodoo Kernel will work for you, you don't need to use it as it does the AMD pathcing itself.
(Just take the usal Combo Upgrade guides, instead of the System Update for complete Systemupgrades.)
ok update: i managed to update to 10.5.8 with a different distribution.
i was using zephyroth 10.5.2...
i used iaktos 10.5.7 and the updates seems to work well.. but i do have another problem
i miss the driver for my videocard: ati hd 3870
and my sound drivers seems to be buggy... i do have sound but i hear somekind of scratching noise when i listen to something... maybe my drivers are wrong... the soundcard is the realtek rlc883.
