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.
