what monitor did u hv cuz i installed ipc 10.5.2 and upgraded to 10.5.8 and both the resolution was bad and things were distorted and blurry. is it my graphics card or monitor or do i have to enable or disable quartz extreme?
I don't think the monitor is the problem. If you use a nvidia graphics card, remove any graphics related kexts and try using efi strings. Have no idea on how to do it with ATI though. =\
@rcoffie search for a way to remove the video "drivers" you selected during install.
Or:
Blue screen on bootup - This means that OS X doesn't see your monitor properly or your graphics card isn't working correctly. Reinstall again, but this time make sure you don't select any enablers/efi strings and you might also select the package to remove NVDAResman.kext, these would fix it, then you can login to gui and search drivers for your vga.
Hiya im currently trying to hakintosh one of my pc's atm i can get the 10.5.2 but i try the original combo update to get to 10.5.8 but its comes up with kernal panic know i was just woundering how you got it 10.5.8 and what driver did u pick to use your 9800gtx as i ahev a 8800gs which runs on the same chip.
You can't update straight to 10.5.8. I went step by step, to get 10.5.3 u can download the "10.5.3 Kalyway Combo Update" and to get from 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 download "Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update"from Apple website. After this point you may follow the guides from ihackintosh(dot)com . And for the graphics card I used EFI strings (OSX86Tools can do that for you).
Except for the hard drive, I have the exact same specs and I just downloaded Kalyway 10.5.2 but I can't seem to get the installer started. What do I need to do to my DVD or USB stick to get this working? Any help or a link to whatever instructions you used would be greatly appreciated.
The DVD should boot like any other OS install disc. Check if you DVD drive is set as the first boot device. If it is, then check these BIOS settings: bit . ly / 2pM0dY . If all fails signup ate insanelymac . com and check this topic : bit . ly / UTIra . I wish you luck, Leopard is really cool. =D
Damn, I tried everything, I think I've narrowed it down to my HD being connected via SATA instead of IDE, cuz I get the "still waiting for root device" error. How was your hd connected? I think I'm gonna give iATKos a shot.
Awesome advice, nforcelan worked right off the bat. I did the string trick after upgrading to 10.5.7 but I had to trick it into using the drivers for the 8800 gt 1gb instead of the 9800 gt 1gb. Thanks a lot, everythings running perfectly now.

Finally got it installed lol, I used a portable installation. Still cant figure out how to install those damn Ethernet and Video drivers. Any ideas?

install nforcelan.kext for network and you can use osx86tools to get the video working.
