Hi! I´ve got a problem with my G5 PowerPC. I formated it, and when I was going to install OS X 10.5 again it didn't work. It just said that "This OS X can not be installed on this computer". I googled a bit, and came across a method of "faking out the Leopard with open firmware". I noticed that it was for G4, so I change the coding to "G5" since I only got an error message when I typed "G4". I booted the CD, but I've still got the same problem. May the reason be that the CD I have is Intel? (don't know if it is though...) What can I do?
Unable to install Leopard on my G5 PowerPC

Bottomline: You either need the original OS disk that came with the machine or a Retail Disk. Can't install OEM from a different machine
