I use "iDeneb 10.5.5 V1.3 INtel & AMD" to install the leopard successed with this option :

1. AMD patch, 2. Kernel 9.4.0(I think this is voodoo) 3. chipset : via. Don't select any display card patch otherwise system won't boot.

 

Until now I still can't find any solution to make the display(only 1024*768 mode right now) , audio and network work.
