10.5.8 is the max. What kind of disk did you you use when you tried to install 10.5?

Make sure you use a 10.5.6 retail or older 10.5.4, 10.5.1, or 10.5.0 retail if installing 10.5.

Note that Mac will not boot into 9, and will lose access to Classic under the Mac OS X 10.5 boot. For more on updating to 10.5 including the retail disc description, see this tip:
