What? where did you get that i have a kernel panic?? man all i was asking are the kext to be backup not that i have a kernel panic.. check my post if i have a problem with kernel..

Software update gave me a Kernel Panic on install on my 10.4,5 JaS install.

You need to get hold of the old AHCI kexts:

AppleAHCIPort.kext
IOAHCIFamily.kext

Best way is to boot off install DVD or another partition if you have it and replace the ones in /System/Library/Extensions

It is because the update nuked your BadAxe2 SATA - it will start to boot but then OS X proper cannot continue to load. Incidentally, if you install the delta as opposed to the combo, you won't have this problem as it doesn't contain the AHCI kexts. The combo is all updates from 10.5.1 up rolled into one. I believe the AHCI problem for us BadAxe2 users came in at 10.5.2.

EDIT: I just read again and see you are using Boot 132. I've never used this method but, from what little I read, you may have to copy these kexts to your /Extras (or whatever) location instead.

OOps...After update, system hangs at the white screen with the apple logo. then i force restart and a restart message comes up. It has been an endless loop of restart for me. do i neeed to leave the system even when it looks like it has hang for about 10mins or more? Need help on this. System works was working flawlessly before update.

I am unable to install the update for 10.5.5 tried 5 times .. the installer freezes up at 69 %(Installation Complete) in safe mode and 73 % (Installation Complete) in Normal mode. I am using Kalyway 10.5.4 . I tried the Kalyway 10.5.3 trick to update its also not working .

Specification
HP DV9000 Laptops
Ram 4 GB
Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz .

First of all - let's think about benefits/improvements in 10.5.5 before jeopardizing our working installs. So far i've noticed only these "benefits" in 10.5.5:

slower boot time (approx. 31 sec.)
lower score in Xbench 161,10

Hopefully I'm not experiencing any issues after upgrade (apps are working, sleep/restart/shut down working as well...)

Knowing that I would reconsider upgrading...

I downloaded the standalone update from Apple rather than going through Software Update. Have always done that so I have the updater handy if I need it again.

Installed and rebooted just fine. No issues. With the exception of AppleHDA and AppleACPIPlatform, all my patched/edited kexts load from the Extra extensions folder. I have the onboard audio disabled atm so I don't know if that got replaced with the update but the version numbers of my other patched kexts are the same as their system extensions copies, so it seems most of those weren't in the update. AppleACPIPlatform doesn't seem to have been replaced as restart works fine.

So much for continuous improvement eh!

My xbench scores are roughly equal to 10.5.4. I say roughly because, with xbench, you tend to get a slightly different score each time anyway. Latest score was 191.

I'm interested to do some graphics benchmarking using OpenGL Extensions Viewer as one of the things that interested me about 10.5.5 was the "graphics improvements". I haven't got around to this - may try later. I think it is fair to say that so far, OS X has not exploited the power of recent graphics cards. Case in point - I didn't see any major improvements going from a 7600GT to 8800GT in desktop and 3D applications.

Updated successfully but no QE Support. Please help

Successfully installed the Update 10.5.5 . 20 % speed and operating optimization achieved. Special Thanks to Netkas, isKylla and Kalyway for the proper instructions of update.

To enable Quartz Extreme I used PC Wiz OS Utility Thanks to PC Wiz . Everything is working perfectly at my End .

WHEN UPDATE FINISHED I`M FORCED TO RESTART!

This (but with current leopard desktop in the back) Click to view attachment comes up when update has finished and i CAN`T go back to system to stop ``while....`` script in Terminal and do the rest of the update. So i`m forced to shutdown computer with power knob (no RESTART knob on Vaio) and after Apple logo the screen obove comes again.
I have to get rid of the screen above to finish the installation but it`s like freezed

Restart with -v :Package 0 did`t get an HPET. That`s because I could`t finished installation i guess.

Oh, and I reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 twice and tried to update with 10.5.5

My hackintosh: Asus P5K-E Wifi, Intel Quad Core Q6600, 4GB RAM, HD and DVD on SATA onboard controller.

Case 1: i had a system installed with a Kalyway 10.5.2 + 10.5.3 comboupdate + 10.5.4 (from system update). I tried to update via System Update with this guide. It rebooted before finishing to update.

Case 2: reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 + 10.5.3 (comboupdate + vanilla kernel) + 10.5.5 from system update. Result: Still waiting for root device.
Case 3: reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 (vanilla kernel) + 10.5.5 from system update. Result: Still waiting for root device.

Case 4: reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 + 10.5.3 (comboupdate + vanilla kernel) + 10.5.4 (downloaded update package from Apple site) + 10.5.5 update package (downloaded from Apple site: i repeat the update, not the comboupdate).
Result: all working, just reinstalled audio.

Is there a learned person present who can tell me whether this update works:
a ) only for vanilla kernels
b ) for vanilla AND modified kernels, it
i) updates both vanilla and modified kernels (wishful thinking)
ii) updates vanilla kernel but leaves modified kernel (don't think so, somehow)
iii) doesn't update the kernel (don't think so either because I've seen the kernel files in the update
package using Pacifist.

Has anyone upgraded to 10.5.5 with a hacked kernel? Any special steps to take care of?

Thanks! I love you all!

For all those who had hung up problems after restart (I also had too) Here's an easy solution that worked for me.

I suposse that almost all of you had dual OS. Windows and OSx86. If don't I can't help.

The problem is when you install de update (316MB) It suddenly restarts the system and you don't have time to apply the string in terminal. So once it restart and you see the kernel panic screen there's nothing to do. You need to remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext so restart and boot up in windows. Install MacDrive v.7 to allow windows "see" the HSFJ Mac partition. Now go to /System/Library/Extensions/ and delete the file AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and restart in Mac. That's all. At least it worked for me.

Now you'll need to enable the QuartzExtreme using 9f23installer.pkg for Ati and nVidia graphics cards or the rest of drivers you missed.

You need to run the terminal command BEFORE you start the update, not AFTER. Try again. The guide did say to do that.

You have to use the Terminal before AND AFTER the installation but before reboot. But if after the installation the system reboots automatically you don´t even have a chance to use the Terminal the second time.





Did that;). Now I have the apple logo and the circle circling around and around .... But that´s a step forward, will work on that;)

No Problems here, everything is working fine.

Hardware is: Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi/AP, C2D E6300, Geforce 7950GT, and 4 GB OCZ Memory.

Running OSX Retail with chameleon EFI.

Hehe. I'm in the exact same situation as you except that I have p5k se. Been through the different cases but I startet case 4 now. Good to see that it hopefully will work. Trying the other cases before reading this cost me som time though, but thanks for the heads up!

EDIT:Kernel panic during installation of 10.5.5 update (not combo). Think I'm gonna give up on 10.5.5 for now. Waiting for a kalyway combo updater!

a. Yes, works with vanilla kernels.


b. Yes, works for vanilla and modified kernels.

i/ii/iii) Replaces kernel with vanilla 9.5 kernel.  So, if you are using a modified kernel, you'll have to replace the old modified kernel.



I have installed with a PD 820 which requires a hacked kernel.  I had to replace the hacked 9.4 kernel and System.kext (among the other necessary kexts) to continue on peacefully.





I'm not sure where you got the idea that you need to run the AICPUPM.kext loop before and after.  However, this is wrong.


The loop is ran THROUGHOUT the update process.  See: while.

In essence, the script tries to remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext every second.  Thus, when the kext appears in the extension directory, it is removed immediately.

Running this script before the update will remove nothing (as it isn't there).  Running it after will run too late... as some systems will kernel panic as the kext hits the dir... and you'll be stuck with a partial install and a kext that prevents system startup.

Run the script and let it continue, install the package, and exit the script once installation is complete.  Replace necessary kexts and reboot.



This isn't that difficult, people.

"This isn't that difficult, people."

So true.

Thx!

I understand that it isn't that difficult but I am past that now. The update finished fine on my computer but when I clicked to reboot I got the faded kernel panic screen or something and I had to hold down the power to turn off the computer and then turn it back on. When I boot now it gets to a part that says something about jnl (I am not at home right now I don't have the exact message) but it doesn't look like an error message. The computer just sits there and does nothing from that. I did delete the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext but I am still not able to boot. I can't boot with -x either but I can with -s.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

I have a dell vostro 1500 and I used iAtkos 10.5.4 to initially install osx86 with a vanilla kernel (I think)

When you get a chance, post a picture of the screen. Without information as to the point of hang or the processes that led up to it we can't be of much help.

It sounds as though you only partially updated. I'm not familiar with any solutions for a system in this state... Personally, I'd write it off as FUBAR'd and start from scratch. Next time ensuring to follow all steps accurately.

I figured that it was FUBAR'd that sucks. oh well we will see.

Thanks

I really hope there is a way to fix it though. Can I re-run the updater somehow. Any other things I can try before saying it is FUBAR?

Sorry, I got you confused with someone else.



There's actually a good chance you'll be able to repair your system since you are able to boot into single-user mode (-s).  Post your screen so we can see in detail what's happening and maybe one of us could give you a hand.

Running 10.5.5...so far so good. QE/CI still enabled and my sound is functional...no kexts to reload just yet.

I won't lie, I was a little nervous...but if you follow all the directions and use the netkas script there should be no issues as long as you are running vanilla

OS X at version 10.5.5 is definitely making better use of my 8800GT now compared with 10.5.4. My previous OpenMark score was around 24-26000. Now it is in the thirties:

Here is a few links of screenshots of where my boot process stops at.

Thanks for all the help. Let me know if you have anything.

Works great from Software Update using Boot 132

AMD SYSTEM HERE / 105.5. patched INSTALL = BROKE LOGIN? ... Installed from 10.5.4 after downloading 10.5.5 through ASU. The install went well it seemed, i had to re enter my video card dev id's but that was no be deal. When the computer got to the logging in portion though it wouldn't budge, i had full control of the mouse and could see my desktop but that was it. Safe Boot was actually in worse shape and only allowed me to go to the blue screen with the Mouse.

It appeared that the only thing that was patched in my 10.5.5 update was something with iCal and that was it??

I ended up doing an A&I (archive and install)...

How I A&I:
Boot to install DVD & remove all files in the root directory except for "applications" & "users" through terminal on the install disc and then continue with the install. It will not touch the folders and you will have a working system. Now your user folder will not be added as a user but you can get around that by enabling root when the system is back up, logging into root and adding an account whos 'short name' is the same as your user folder in /mac hd/Users. When you hit create it will say "a folder with the name ***** already exist... do you want to you that / this folder?", say yes or ok or what ever and then log out. BING BANG BOOM your account is back and running. This is why i am not so scared about screwing the system, i can always do this and get back and running pretty fast.

Has anyone had this issue with the AMD processor....

I've installed this, with a few issues.

Had to reinstall the modbin kernel. Now I only get a blank screen with mouse pointer after boot has finished. I've tried kush nvinject and NvInstall. Any ideas?

safe mode works.

EDIT: All works now. 9f23installer fixed it!!

Wow! On 10.5.4 I got an OpenMark score 1/10 of nano2nd's! ...but to all intents & purposes it does everyting its asked; I can watch videos OK, I don't play any games...

Question: If this was YOUR system, would you,
a ) Upgrade quickly to 10.5.5 and see if it increases dramatically
b ) Get a new AGP video card as no PCIe slot on this mother...
c ) Get a new mother and PCIe video card
d ) Save money, time and trouble and wait for someone to release a modified 9.5 kernel?
e ) Something else (please state)

Thanks madman, tried various methods from through the forums to get my system to work with 10.5.5 without any success. Have a P5B Deluxe and attempted the Combo upgrade, with reboot problems. I was able to get into the system by replacing the IOACPIFAMILY.KEXT from the 10.5.4 but would present an error telling me it was installed incorrectly and screw the system again.

Luckily had a backup of my 10.5.4 Kalway on another drive, restored it and let the Apple software update run through the 10.5.5 update. It did the reboot early (think about 80%) and when it rebooted hung. So used Madman's advice booted into windows and used MacDrive to remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Let the machine reboot twice and now have a fully working system.

Cheers m8, hope it's helpful for someone else.

Oh and by the way, 1st time I tried to update using the Combo I followed http://netkas.org/ guide to the letter, but I was one of the unfortunate ones it' didn't work for

If you did want to play games you wouldn't be bothering with hackintosh would you?

You need to use Pacifist to reapply the Leopard 1.0 Graphics update found here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/leo...csupdate10.html
Reapply your old X3100 kexts if they have been modified for your hackintosh.

Reboot with -f flag and you should have QE and CI working again.

If I did want to play games I'd consider myself retarded, mainly because I played (the original) Wolfenstein when it came out, also (anyone remember this) Catacomb Abyss, which I consider better (I even got the shareware pack of 3 different Catacomb games and enjoyed them all, even tho basically same ting.)

The point is, if anyone can show me ANY modern game that's more than 1º away from these I'll give them a piece of chocolate - and that's saying something.

Boot-132 is pretty cool, updated relatively easily. The system was spinning the wheel after the first reboot but I reset and the machine booted up fine. Graphics do appear a little quicker in OpenMark...going from about 29000 to 37000 on the nVidia 9800 GTX+. What's interesting is I no longer see NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Engine for the 9800, but rather NVIDIA GeForce Pre-Release Unknown OpenGL Engine, which has boosted supported OpenGL 3.0 functions from 3 to 12 of 21 in OGL Extensions Viewer. Apple working on 9800 support?

Apparently people are having trouble with the concept of following instructions to the T. Here is exactly what I did:

1. Updated from 10.5.2 kalyway install to 10.5.3 kalyway patch.
2. Updated from 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 normally with the delta 10.5.4 update from here.
3. Download manually the delta 10.5.5 update from here. Do NOT use the Apple Software Updater. If you do, it will restart automatically on you and you can't install it the way it should be.
4. Open up terminal and run the following:
# sudo su
-this gives you root access
# mkdir -p /1054/extensions
-this creates the necessary directories you'll need to backup your kernel and extensions
# cp -r /mach_kernel /1054/
-backup your 10.5.4 kernel
# cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/* /1054/extensions/
-backup your extensions in case you need to restore any of them
# while sleep 1; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext; done
-this checks if that kext is added every second and then removes it
-you cannot remove it manually yourself, let terminal take care of it for you, otherwise it will kernel panic on you
-leave this running until I tell you to stop it, do not press ctrl+c or close terminal right now
5. Mount the 10.5.5 delta dmg and start the update process but do NOT press restart at the end of it
6. Once it asks you to restart, instead change focus back to the terminal window and press ctrl+c to stop the process you began of automatically deleting /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext every second
7. Edit with textedit the file /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1 and replace /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext with any of the following depending on which kext you have in your install:
/System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext OR
/System/Library/Extensions/r3d3.kext OR
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleDecrypt.kext
-The kext you use has to be in your /System/Library/Extensions/ already, don't put one that doesn't exist, one has to be there prior. Mine was dsmos.kext for example.
-But if you don't find /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext, leave it as is
8. If you used a custom kernel, run the install all kernel pkg and choose the kernel you used before installing that, then close it after.
-not needed if you can use the vanilla kernel
9. In that 10.5.5 Delta Update window, now you can press the restart button.
10. To get power management working again I installed the 10.5.3 power management pkg and rebooted.

This worked for me on my dell inspiron 1525 laptop but I skipped step 8 because I can use the vanilla kernel. Most of the problems that people are having here seems to stem not following or misunderstanding the instructions. If you're still having problems, wait for kalyway or someone else to release a patched 10.5.5 delta update so you don't have to open the terminal.

This is my story:
I live in Houston, and Ike took away my power couples days ago. I didn't have any thing to do except messing around with iPhone SDK on my X61 tablet. Then Itunes popped up and asked me to update, so I turned on Software Update to check if anything else needs update too. That's when 10.5.5 came. It stopped at 34% and asked me to hard restart my computer. After that I kept receiving HPET errors. Thanks to the helps on IM forums, I booted into Windows Vista and used MacDrive to delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Mac OS X booted up but Finder was killed at boot time. After some research, I got it fixed.
Now I can confirm 10.5.5 run perfectly on X61 tablet PC.

I'm using iDeneb 10.5.4 as a base installation. I'm running the Vanilla kernel and tried to use the Software Update (as this worked for everything else) and then it crashed my system. Restored it and then downloaded the Combo update and used Netkas's guide (thanks man) and the install worked perfectly. My system now boots in less than 20 seconds!!!

Will this work on an sse2 laptop??

No, I think a lot of people are having to deal with the unexpected Kernel Panic half-way through the install. It happened to me; I wish you could have seen the look on my face.

not good... since i updated my iMac to 10.5.5 in my screen each time that I switch on my computer apprears that (file attached)

when I open a window or I move a file or something that "moves" pixels in screen this "thing" disappear... I tried to reinstall update from 601mb file but nothing changed.


what's going on?


PS: yes I know.. I should clean my desktop too... ehee but this is not important here

What graphics card are you running?

Can you paste your Graphics/Displays page from System Profiler?

I'm not sure why the kernel panic halfway through the install is unexpected.

- Does this update contain AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext?

If the answer is yes, then deal with it either through use of Pacifist or by using the delete script from Netkas' 10.5.2 instructions. I continue to be amazed by the number of people who expect to have this working without having to understand any of the inner mechanics of the Mac OS. If a release is issued, have a look at the contents. Anything you have previously modded, hacked or replaced (e.g. kexts) that is listed in the package contents will need to be managed carefully by you - either as is done for the power management extension above or by simply replacing with backed up copies post update.

If you don't want to have to work all of this out and you want your OS X to "just work" I suggest you buy a Mac. Great computers and almost guaranteed not to get screwed up by Software Update.

I can confirm that the guide in page number 1 works

1. Installed Kalyway 10.5.2
2. Combo Update Kaly 10.5.3
3. Downloaded 10.5.4 from Apple. Installed without a glicth
4. Followed the removal of IntelAppleCPUPowerManagement.kext
5. Proceeded to install 10.5.5
6. Success. No need to install anything. Everything works

Thanks everyone. This is my first post. I just want to thank all of you who made this possible

It does indeed, you knew that! But that is not the point. The installer is crashing before restart. I do understand the foolishness you are describing, -but you cannot follow the instructions verbatim, as they do not account for the possibility of the crash. I'm not being stupid - and i'm never suggested that I should close my eyes and run -everything will be okay.
It was an unexpected event. I'm glad you never had to experience it too.

Now I fell real stupid.... I forgot about the graphics update, thanks jayman30 for reminding me!!!!! now all is working fine. Now all I have do do is update my primary partition. Thanks

I had to do this with the modified GMA900 kexts also.

where did you get that package where can i find it


edit
found it at NVinstaller.com for anyone who wants to give this a try.

Same problem here with the halfway abortion. I tried with
but when I reboot with -x -v -f i won`t boot, instead some Crashreport saved in blabla order
