Does kalyway 10.5.1 support ICH2, because I think that that is my problem trying to install it, because I can load the dvd, load the ktext, then reboot; I have not been able to make it to the installation GUI, just loading ktext and then reboots.

Hi ! I have the same motherboard with a 1.7 GHz CPU (willamette), a GeForce FX5200 and 1Gb of RAM and the only way that I was able to install Leopard on it is with the JAS 10.5.4 distribution.

 

I had to install these packages from the disc : "StageXNU" ; "Intel SSE2 SSE3 9.2.0 Sleep" ; "Intel-ICHx" ; "AC97Audio" ; "AppleIntelPIIXATA" ; "Intel ICH and PIIX Controller"... I also installed the "IOUSBFamily" and "System kext 10.5.2", but I don't know if its a necessity. And for my GeForce FX5200, I installed the Natit package from the JAS 10.4.8 distribution.

 

I was able to install it and to boot on it. It also seems that the graphic card is working well (with QE/CI), but applications are really unstable... When I open "About This Mac" it crashes and I can't open iCal...

 

It would be nice to find the solution to these problems, but at least I'm able to run Leopard on this old {censored}.... The best solution is to buy a new computer... If you build a computer yourself you can get a really good computer (dual/quad core) for less than 500$...
