That said, I wouldn't worry too much about Leopard (OS X 10.5) yet, the machine we emulate isn't really supported by it to begin with and there are a number of issues there.
Tiger (OS X 10.4) seems to work well.
The last supported for PowerMac3,1 we emulate now is 10.4.11. 10.5 could be installed with a hack (that is, on real hardware, not on qemu). More info on this is here in case someone is interested: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/faq/power-mac-g4-hack-to-r...
I'm working on lifting up the whole Mac model, adding a PMU model, a SunGEM, bringing MacIO a bit more up to date etc... At that point I'll make sure 10.5 works well.
This is very exciting. Looking forward to it.

I agree with Ben, that regression is not important. I did finally succeed in installing Leopard on an “external” drive connected as USB hard disk. The installer warned that this disk would not be bootable and when it finished reported that it could not make the disk bootable. G5 and earlier seem not able to boot from USB anyway. When I attached the resulting disk as IDE device, it would not boot. The reverse also didnt work. Connecting the dvd image as usb drive didn’t allow boot.
Okay in that case I consider myself overruled ;) Will carry on testing this evening...
ATB,
Mark.
