Yes, those logs should just be reporting the kexts that came with 190 (aside from those installed by the script).

Hi @Project Alice,
Well the problem is that I still see references to Geforce.kext not being PPC and
that GeforcePPC kext is failling to load because NVDAResmanPPC kext
is not present.
GeforcePPC kext does not exist in the 096 only in Leopard.
Does it exist in the 190?
Can you check?
Best regards,
voidRunner

My 10A190 does have it, but it's possible that it was copied there from Leopard. I don't remember selecting that, but the version is identical so it is probably from Leopard.
Hi @Project Alice,
Can you try and remove all of them ( Geforce*.kext and NVDA* )
and replace with the ones from 096??

I can if I make a disk with 096 on it. I should probably have a partition with both, I didn't really think about that. I installed 190 over 96 when 190 became available.
Thank you, I’ll post the results of this in a couple days. I start my work stretch (3 12s) tomorrow morning.
I do try to watch this thread on my phone when I have time.
The ATI Rage128 kexts from Tiger (that also worked on Leopard) do their job on the G4 Titanium Books. Again with the mouse cursor artefacts (known from Leopard already). And also without CI/QE, but as the G4 and bus clock are rather weak, the difference is very noticable on that machine. From mostly unusable to quite ok´ish.

I got it booted on a 2005 PowerBook G4 (1.5-1.67 GHz) using the PPC_SL_10A190 image uploaded here (thanks!). It doesn't look like full graphs support is loaded, no wifi, and there's a lot of crashes. Nothing new there though, but one thing I didn't see mentioned is none of my USB drives are recognized. Also, sleep very much doesn't work, and it looks like I have to hard power down, then disconnect the power and the battery to fully shutdown (holding the power doesn't completely power off).
Thanks again! Very exciting. I'll have to test more after work.

Hi vddrnnr, I give you the screenshots of the panic kernel in the ibook g4 1.42 and also the dual g5 2.3 (PPC_SL_10A190 image uploaded)
I have used the disk utility to restore and also the CCC, getting panic kernels with both.
Thank you.
Image don't have /sbin files at all
@pepotrone Could you check your folder /Volumes/WhereInstalled106PPC/sbin
Also, tell me how to you download it from MEGAsync service, with or without stopping while download, I think that problem with Image happen when you (I'm) download with this Service partially, I mean when download sopped by traffic size exception, or may be this problem happen when image downloaded with problems in crypto service.
md5 PPC_SL_10A190.dmg (broken image)
MD5 (PPC_SL_10A190.dmg) = d951ddc7e07abab23e460fcb7d5dc0fa
With second try download also broken image: Empty launchd and zero size files
Anyone who use this image could you please check md5 or re-upload to another host if it no problem for you ?

USB drives are recognized, but Finder does not show them on the desktop. If you "go to folder" /Volumes/ they show up.
That´s a bug that was not present in 10A96 server afaik, so we might have to port over some parts from there.
On my G4 Powerbooks the situation with powerdown is as follows:
If you force-power-off by pressing the power button for a couple of seconds, the machine is really off. But I can only re-start it after doing a SMC reset in between (red charging LED turns back to green) by pressing shift-ctrl-alt plus pwr-on.
No need to detach power supply or battery then.

Alt-click the Finder icon in the Dock until Relaunch is shown in the context menu. Restarting Finder will put all your USB drive icons on the Desktop.
Fixed
With recovery in Disk Utils with erase partition and check image for recovery before.

Thank you for answering me
The image I downloaded has the same MD5 number that you have written, that is, d951ddc7e07abab23e460fcb7d5dc0fa.
I downloaded it from mega, continuously without interruption with the browser (one with firefox and one with Opera), so I understand that it will be correct.
Inside the /Sbin folder I have 62 files each with a different size.
What can I try?
Thank you

Try restore this image with doing next steps:
1) Open DiskUtility
2) Format (Erase) partition for install (maybe unnecessary)
3) Try to restore image with set checkbox "Erase partition" true
4) DiskUtility show message "This image need check for restore" (or similar) Press Ok, wait
5) Wait while image will be restored. (On my eMac this take ~10 minutes)
6) Set boot device and reboot
(for verbosity you can run this:
Code:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
Thank you. Success booting to my iMac G5Try restore this image with doing next steps:

Now to put a larger hard drive in and install properly with test transfer of my 10.5 account

Depends on how you define the "final build". Most fundamental would imho be the kernel itself, so we´d either have it compiled from sources for PPC or find the "last" one with PPC support. Kexts are more or less explored now, but frameworks are to be checked. There are still some severe bugs in our 10A190 combo that might only be resolved by finding suitable frameworks from either later builds (again, PPC support needed) or from 10.5.8 wherever possible due to dependencies...
But it´s "just a lot of work", I guess.
Hi! I restored the DMG shared on #200 post. Did that on Snow Leopard running on Mac Pro 1,1. All the hard disks were inside the Mac Pro. Moved the hard disk with the restored DMG to the G5 and booted just fine.
After minutes test I found issue with "Share" control panel, some items are hide when I tried to select file sharing, and panel was hang
Of course I have not QE, and CI is Software on my eMac

Nice config, how about noisy ? And speed of load for example Xcode ?
I restored the disk image in post #200 to a hard drive and installed it in a 15” PowerBook.
It boots after a long time, and I can hear the audio from the OS X “welcome” video but I can’t get past the first page of the setup screen. The cursor moves but I can’t click anything. Tried with an Apple USB mouse as well.
Update: a third reboot seems to have fixed that problem. It’s at the desktop now- WiFi not working and graphics are laggy.

THX¡¡¡¡¡
It already works at last!!!!!! And it is also extremely fast! It is a pity that Apple killed it, because it is incredible how fast it is!
That if the client version 90 has many bugs.
The bugs that I have found are the following:
- Network preferences: Share: when activating it does not respond.
- USB: USB drives are not displayed on the desktop.
- Finder: View as large icons does not show the text. If it is put into list mode, they are already displayed.
- Dashboard: The widget is activated but sometimes it closes unexpectedly.
Anyway it is impressive to see it work (my configuration is a Dual 2.3 g5 ppc970mp) with 8gb of ram and HD sata 8mb buffer (very normal).
If I can help more I would love to do it.
