However for some reason my 10.4.8 would error out every time shortly after choosing the language and reboot. So I grabbed my 10.4.7 disks and this worked great up until the reboot. I moved the kext files, rebooted and it passes the gray screen only to stop once it gets to the blue screen and then nothing. I have the same system, C840 with the P3 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 60GB HD, Installing via vmware 6.0.4 workstation. Any suggestions? Hey I love this.

Here is where you want to type the following as the screen should be instructing you to do, /sbin/fsck -fy. Then hit enter on your keyboard.

That will happen particularly if you did not follow step #5:

“If all went well, you should arrive at a screen that says localhost:/ root#. Here is where you want to type the following as the screen should be instructing you to do, /sbin/fsck -fy. Then hit enter on your keyboard. After that is successfully ran, type /sbin/mount -uw / (mount the harddisk root) and hit enter.”

If you still receive the error you’re encountering, post up exactly what it says on the screen. Make sure to follow EVERY step to the “t”, because Unix/BSD is not forgiving like Windows/DOS/CMD.
