VmWare Image: MacOS X Leopard 10.5.8 (iDeneb V1.6 Lite Edition)

If it is a possibility for you, you might want to consider trying the 10.6 install (using VMware v7). This combination works incredibly smoothly. Have a look at the post: -to-snow-leopard-mac-os-x-10-6-and-vmware-workstation-7/
no, it said slist. the chameleon version was 1.0.11 (ideneb v1.3). occasionally it gets to a gray screen with the apple logo in the middle, but just hangs there. I tried ideneb v1.4 but experienced the same issues. I'm about to try iPC for leopard 10.5.6, and then I'll try kalyway leopard 10.5.2, but I'm half expecting to experience the same issues with all the distro's that I have.

i did not need to use the -v or -legacy boot flags, nor -f at any point.
I had tried them in my troubleshooting, but what worked in the end didn't require these flags, although I do run a 64 bit OS. maybe this is due to the recent support addition for Mac OS X in virtualbox.
I selected as the OS, Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server
I did not need to edit the xml file for setextradata whatsoever in my working versions.
I did in the mac os x install (both iatkos and ideneb) need to install the voodoo kernel
everything works fine with chameleon 2.0 loader, except after installation and reboot, when it brings you to the first step on first boot for registration, stated it didn't recognize my keyboard, but my mouse was unresponsive. I found a snippet from someone in a closed thread for HID in the xml file located in the users directory under machines
i editted this entry (after closing virtualbox) and changed
changed the PS2 to USB in the mouse entry, (i have no PS2 devices) saved, re-opened virtualbox, rebooted my ideneb install and then was able to successfully boot.
I did need to install (upon install) various things like my nvidia driver, etc. this will vary depending on your hardware. keep at it!
although this spanned across 36 hours of me tinkering and testing, I now have a fully working 10.5.8 and I could not for the life of me get any version of 10.5.x bootable and rebootable on vmware.. so virtualbox, although required a lot of time, has proved to be amazing ?
Also, I had no luck with iPC, even with changing the boot loader, i would consistently get an error on boot (even with using F8, -v -f -legacy all same result) as many other had with boot.plist not found)
