AppleADBButtons.kextAppleADBKeyboard.kextare missing. I’d look into those first. At least the keyboard is ADB on pre-2005 iBooks and PowerBooks AFAIK.

It reads:
Darwin Sorbet-Leopard.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:57:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh
It's the original 10.5.8 kernel.
BTW, did you try adding the two missing kexts from 10.5.8? That should™ fix your keyboard.
What I'd do is... grab a retail 10.5.6 (or grey 10.5.7 - the newer, the better) image, open the (hidden)
System/Installation/Packages folder, look for the package for the desired language pack and install it, either by simply double-clicking it or using Pacifist. As I've never tried this method, it's possible that this might overwrite existing files with older versions from the install image.

Hey, I restored the image to a USB drive using CCC 4.1.24 on Monterey, and I booted it on my 1.42 GHz iBook G4, it gives me a prohibitory sign after the Apple logo. How should I install this using a USB drive?
Boot again with Command-V held down after turning on. That will boot verbosely with lots of text, so you can see what's up. Post a photo of the text that's on the screen when it stops.
Please see my previous steps. Try to restore to a USB device on a PowerPC Mac instead of an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac.
Could I install Tiger on to one half of the hard drive then restore Sorbet Leopard to the other half when the install is done, and delete the Tiger partition?
Just to make sure, you did check Erase destination prior to restore? With that setting it should work as intended.
@Amethyst1 Thanks for covering the keyboard issue for me. I was not expecting the pre-USB PowerBook keyboards to be ADB-based; I really thought they phased that out with the Yikes! G4. Going forward, this is definitely something to include in the revised image.
@k24a1 This seems to be an issue with DiscordPPC as a whole rather than something limited to Sorbet Leopard. They most likely changed something in their website that prevents usage with any older versions of WebKit. For Discord, I suggest using TenFourFox / AquaWeb micro for now.
@stxtc Yes, if they're both on separate partitions.
@barracuda156 At times, a restore has only worked for me if Erase destination was deselected, and even then, only on Leopard Disk Utility, not Tiger. Other times it's worked fine either way.
I suppose your mileage may vary.

You can do this. You will want to install Tiger to the back partition (2nd) instead of the front partition (1st), so that when you delete it you'll have a better time extending the Sorbet partition to fill the disk (as it'll extend from the end instead of from the beginning. I've had issues with extending volumes from the beginning on APM).
A stopgap image is now in production to resolve the missing keyboard kext issue, among several other elements to enhance the user experience. Hopefully it should be out later today.
To those with ADB-based notebooks, please hold on just a little while longer. Thank you.

LCS is liquid cooling system basically aio water cooler. Is there a supported 3 for ppc?
You’re welcome - I faced the opposite issue with Jaguar on a 2005 12” PowerBook: its (USB-based) keyboard and trackpad didn’t work, which made me aware of this difference.
