Will post the results, Thanks Was able to boot with this last Empire EFI but still not able to install it, please see below: In order to be able to boot it had to disable HT and leave the Cores down to 1 1 - Insert Leopard DVD and press F5 2 - When selecting the empty HDD it shows me the below error. Will try getting a new Leopard Image to see if this solves this issue.
