I have googled around, and any info I have found did not work, and resulted in having to reinstall several times. This is my Hardware:

 

Motherboard: MSI PM8M-V (OS X IDs as MS-7104)

Video: nVidia geForce 7600 GS

Audio: Turtle Beach Montego DDL

RAM: 1.5GB

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz SSE2

Chipset: Via

Network: Via Rhine II

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Edit: I should probably mention every time I updated, using various tutorials, it would start an endless cycle of booting/rebooting, wouldnt get further than the bootloader.

Ok. The endless reboot makes me suspect that you didn't choose a custom kernel. You'll need something like the Voodoo kernel to boot on a Pentium CPU. You didn't mention which distro you used, but I know iAtkos v7 comes with two versions of Voodoo...

 

I said it in the subject ;) It's IPC 10.5.6. I installed the voodoo kernel 9.5.0 that came with it on the disk. The endless reboot only occurs after I try to update the OS to 10.5.8 and it endless reboots. That was the first time, and I figure the stock updates write the kernel. After I tried some various tutorials I still can't get it to update.

Have you tried this. After the update, before you restart, run the installer again from the IPC disc. Or alternatively do the update restart from the IPC disc & run the installer. Worked for me when I Had IPC Leopard.

 

When you say this, what do you mean? Like just completely reinstall over the update?

You just need to pick the extra kexts you picked in the customise options that you did when you first installed, you dont need to install the base system again

 

That did it. Thanks!

 

 

Oh sorry, I didn't notice you were having a problem updating. My apologies.

 

It's all good.
