10.6 Snow Leopard PowerPC Development

[Gamerabbit]

I've been using Snow Leopard on my PowerMac G5 for the past few months, and here are the issues I've encountered:
- Bluetooth isn't working properly (it worked fine on Leopard).
- Couldn't initialize an HDD.
- iTunes crashes quite often, especially when dragging and dropping items.
- Unable to install Adobe apps or Apple Pro apps.
- Airport Extreme cannot be accessed through Finder.
- Airport Express AirPlay was working but has stopped functioning.
(Planning to do a fresh install to try again, just in case)

My system is pure vanilla, just Geforce 6600LE, two HDD (not SSD), 3,5 GB of ram

Do you have ANY FireWire devices plugged in? In my early testing, I found that this would freeze the boot, but a little further along. I would get to the beginnings of the desktop and then it would freeze. Unplugging all my Firewire devices got me past that to a full and working desktop.

This was for Sorbet Leopard specifically, but I am wondering if a similar issue may plague SL_PPC.

That is a bug specifically in “Sorbet” Leopard. There is no issue with FW devices on 10.6.8 (or 10a190). I have a few FW drives chain-linked to the Quad, everything boots fine when they are connected.
