Upgrading to 10.5.7 was problematic. My working 10.5.4 install would not have supported the video card which I wanted so I had to bite the bullet.
Steps
Restored from TM backup
Installed iAtkos 7 over the top choosing Voodoo kernel 9.5.0, Chameleon2 and USB kext (No network, No Video)
Successful but the root password has changed and I can’t sudo anymore
Changed root password from install disk
Booted safe -x and visudo to add myself
Now can boot but only from install disk rd=disk0s3 (3rd partition)
Started Linux Mint and installed ms-sys from sourceforge. ms-sys -m /dev/sda to fix mbr
gparted shows boot flag set for OSX partition but still can’t boot
This leaves video which has old drivers and freezes occasionally and network to fix
