Some highlights from apple:
What's included in this update:

• Upgrades Safari to version 4.0.2.
• Improves the accuracy of full history search in Safari 4.
• Resolves an issue in which certain resolutions might not appear in the Display pane in System Preferences.
• Dragging an Aperture image into Automator now invokes an Aperture action instead of incorrectly invoking an iPhoto action.
• Resolves an issue that could prevent importing of large photo and movie files from digital cameras.
• Improves overall Bluetooth reliability with external devices, USB webcams and printers.
• Addresses an issue that could cause extended startup times.
• Improves iCal reliability with MobileMe Sync and CalDav.
• Addresses data reliability issues with iDisk and MobileMe.
• Improves overall reliability with AFP.
• Improves overall reliability with Managed Client.
• Improves compatibility and reliability for joining AirPort networks.
• Improves Sync Service reliability.
• Includes additional RAW image support for several third-party cameras.
• Improves compatibility with some external USB hard drives.
• Includes latest security fixes.

And the best is - it seems to be save to install for Hackintosh, because I wrote this from my freshly to 10.5.8 updatet IDeneb. In my case, the only things I have to do after install: 1. permission repair, 2. Reinstall NewHDIconfix, 3. Reinstall TMfix, thats it...
Looks like it boots faster than before - okay....
Enjoy!

I'm on AMD and I was able to update with only a few steps.

1. Use AMD patcher to patch update
2. Reinstall Voodoo Kernel 9.5 from iPC 10.5.6
3. Reinstall 10.5.5 version of seatbelt.kext
4. Reinstall audio driver
5. Reinstall Chameleon 2.0 RC2

I'm pleased to be running 10.5.8 on its first day of release!

It seems to break sleep however. I hope it will be an easy fix.

I'm having the same issue But, on the bright side, it didn't completely bork my install! That second reboot scared the crap out of me...

just updated my 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 w/o bigger issues
after the upgrade I just replaced the AppleSMBios with version 28 and reverted AppleHDA for sound

Some kext get updated while the upgrade but the kext timestamp does not get updated. This is valid for the two files mentioned above which is why it took me a couple of minutes to find them ;-)

I'm running an Asus P5Q Pro with Q9550 CPU and ATI 3870 with QE

Gigabyte EP45-UD3R went well


sleep is now broken though



it was working great in 10.5.7

anyone else having problems with sleeep?

Sorry, I forgot to say that.

updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 on my inspiron 1525 and it crashed. i will be reinstalling tonight

Same here, Sleep was working great in 10.5.7 without patch and now is totally broken.

Hi Konami,

sleep image is unusable for you...

you have got a ATI video so that generate 1/4 monitor on start!!


bye

Upgraded from an iAtkos 10.5.7 build. Just downloaded the 10.5.8 update (non combo) from here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/

I boot my OSX off an external e-sata drive connected via a jmicron controller... No issues there.

Simply ran the update and didn't need to do anything. Everything is working including the audio (kX Audio) video is fine and my USB hard drives are now mounting properly - it used to not be detected and/or hang the system.

So far so good

Regarding Sleep not working anymore.

It doesn't by any means have anything to do with this little sower saving option, which had to be enabled in 10.5.7 to fix sleep?



Sorry for the german screen of my power saving options, but it should point you in the right direction. It should have been ticked for sleep to work in 10.5.7. Could someone who already has updated to 10.5.8 check if sleep works when this option ist unticked?

Cheers,
Maroder

Just installed on an Acer 6935g with ideneb .... and now my trackpad and keyboard dont work!!!!

It takes plenty time to boot up .

During the booting screen I have a ban on the apple and it takes 4-5 mins before to log in !!!

any Ideas?

Did you repair the permissions after install?

Anybody running this on a Latitude E6400? I'm running 99% vanilla (with Chameleon 2.0RC2), NVIDIA Quadro graphics.

Just did it ... still no keyboard and trackpad! :-)

I tried to boot in verbose mode and I obtain this error :

"failed to load extension com.apple.driver.applesmbios"


Maybe if I install this kext again I could fix the problem ....

I'm afraid to update. I'm still back on 10.5.6 Because 10.5.7 Completely killed my install.
I have a dell XPS M140 With a Intel Centrino Processor Intel Graphics, and 2GB of Ram, Only Thing I've ever changed is upgrading the ram to 2GB and adding a new wireless card (intel -> broadcom) If anyone could tell me how to update or give me any advice I would really appreciate it.

repair permissions helps only sometimes in case of slow system, not with keyboard or trackpad. Is the system performance better now?




Hallo Maroder,

da Du ein deutsches System benutzt, gehe ich einfach mal davon aus, das Du auch die Sprache sprichst. Also in meinem Fall funktioniert der Sleep-Modus. Früher hatte ich auch Probleme damit und hatte das Feature abgeschaltet. Ich habe es gerade eben ausprobiert und es klappt wunderbar. Die Checkbuttons, die Du hast, habe ich allerdings gar nicht. Bei mir gibt es nur 2 Optionen: 1. Wenn möglich Ruhezustand der Festplatten aktivieren - habe ich an und 2. Aktivieren des Ruhezustands über Ein-/Ausschalter ermöglichen - habe ich nicht an.

To make a long story short: In my case sleep is working.

Did you used a patch? because you have more options in the energy saver option, I don't have these options.

I simply removed disabler.kext from my extensions.mkext and from extra/extensions, rebooted and now sleep works.

As I wrote above I had to reinstall the AppleSMBios since the upgrade to 10.5.8 did some changes inside this file. I was getting the same message (in yellow) while booting with -v. I'm using version 28, search in this forum for it

My approach is to take a whole backup of the extension folder before the upgrade so I can more easily go back for single kext files and backup the new ones again before I overwrite them with the old ones so I can go back to them as well if needed ;-)

David

The extension folder backup could be a very good idea but like any others backups ... you realize to do it after u cant do it anymore !!! :-) Anyway yes the message was in yellow i think I have your same problem ... sohave I to reinstall the applesmbios version 28?

For anyone who wants an easy way to update... Please head over to Netkas.org. Follow the easy steps and use OSX86tools and you'll be all set.

I added the step of backing up my extensions (kexts) with OSX86tools and reinstalling using osxTools and my system is 100% 10.5.8

Cheers guys

At least that was the one I had running before and now after the upgrade to 10.5.8. You could get it from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112134

Since the current AppleSMBios is not working I guess you risk very little by trying it out ;-)

David

Damn...I've upgraded and after restart I've got USB back. Since I've updated from my iATKOS 10.5.5 to 10.5.7 via Software Update, I had problems mounting any USB device. I needed to have them mounted while booting or otherwise they weren't recognized.

Now, I've updated to 10.5.8, did a simple restart and everything worked like a charm (well, the sound was gone, but still listed in the System Preferences). Then I plugged in my external USB-HD and it...boom...there was it listed in the Finder and mounted on the Desktop.

But still the audio issue...so I did the permissions repair from the iATKOS-DVD, re-booted, sound where back....but now the USB isn't work again....WTF???

Does anybody know a fix for the USB mount issue?
thx in advance.

Specs are: C2D E8400 3,0GHz ; Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.1 + iATKOS 10.5.5 (updated to 10.5.8 via software update)

As far as I know - it´s better tor run permission repair from the working partition, not from an external disk. Only use an externel Disk to repair your harddrive.

He's on a laptop with model identifier set as MacBook(Pro). The available settings differ depending on which model identifier you use.

I've gotten 'Allow powerbutton to sleep the computer' to appear in Energy Saver by using iMac9,1 as model identifier in smbios.plist.

Just installed vanilla kernel, that is without selecting any kernel during installation... was kernel 9.5, then, updated to 10.5.8, kernel is now 9.8.... cooled...

I'm not!

The method doesn't work for me on my DV9000 laptop. Like other people, I just get disabled trackpad, keyboard and sound. Restoring the Extensions didn't make any difference. I've tried (and reinstalled) 3 or 4 times now, so I've given up. It's 10.5.7 for me!

Funnily enough, on my desktop install, I just used 'Software Update' without doing any other steps and it worked fine.

You have to edit the ACPIPlatform dependency version in ACPIPS2Nub.kext and restore your sound kext.

The thing is, I can't because (like others) my touchpad and keyboard are disabled!

Seriously, why does everyone always freak out so much about these updates? Nothing interesting happened, and it rarely does. It's just minor bugfixes and security update!

Maybe it is because I have a real Mac and do not have to be scared to wreck my machine just so an Aperture instead of an iPhoto action is invoked, but isn't that as if MS fanboys would get into a frenzy about the newest patchday? And now please don't tell me they do or I'll bang my head against the next wall I can find...

Great work .. really informative .. and thanks a lot for sharing ..
script install

Get a USB mouse somewhere and use the onscreen keyboard.

Thanks a lot. I didn't even know there was an onscreen keyboard.

TBH, I've given up on 10.5.8 on my laptop at least. After trying a lot of advice, and having to do 4 or 5 re-installs, I'm going to stick with my (working perfectly) 10.5.7.

@Imacken,

I'm on an Acer Laptop using 10.5.8 and my PS2 keyboard and trackpad work fine. I'm using Chameleon with the Extra/Extensions method and in the Extensions folder I have VoodooPS2Controller.kext.

In the VoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins folder, I have:

VoodooPS2Mouse,kext, VoodooPS2Keyboard,kext and VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext.

The only thing I did is I edited the info.plist of all 4 kexts so that I have:

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
<string>Root</string>

That way they all auto-load from the Extra/Extensions folder.

By the way, I am using retail Leopard 10.5.0 that I updated to 10.5.8. Even back when I using ApplePS2Controller and AppleACIPS2Nub, everything was working fine on 10.5.8 and 10.5.7. I switched to VoodooPS2Controller because there's more trackpad customizations and options in System Preference.

In addition, the beauty of using Chameleon and the Extra/Extensions folder is that all my modified kexts are in the Extra/Extensions folder. So, when I update, everything that was working in the previous version, work just as fine in the next update without me having to go back to System/Library/Extensions and making modifications. Everything has been working fine since 10.5.6. Nothing gets broken when I update. I also have com.apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist in the Extra folder. So, I always use Vanilla AppleACPIPlatform and everything shows up perfect in about this mac and system profiler.

Good luck.

well the same for me, I've lost touchpad and keybord, no solution found

Mail app is incompatible with the new update.

I also had a problem with mail. 2 days after the install of the update, I can´t get my new mails anymore. I just reinstall my mail preferences from a time machine backup before the update and everything works fine. You find it in your user folder/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Good luck!

I had the same problem I think, and in my case it was because I have TwoFingerScrolling installed so I just removed FFScroll and SmartScroll from /Library/StartupItems/ and reboot. I got keyboadr and touchpad back. Than I installed AppleSMBios and just reinstall audio codec and powermanagement because it was missing and of course TwoFingersScrolling have to be installed again but the most imporant, it works fine now

My problem with 10.5.8 update is that USB doesn't work anymore... kind of.
My external HDD, which has it's own power source, works normally... but everything else (including my iphone) doesn't work.
And if i plug in my USB drive... the light turns on briefly and then it turns off.
With my iphone, USB port doesn't even supply the current to charge it.

Maybe i did a mistake when updating... before updating i backed up my extensions folder, and after updating, i restored the whole thing to get the sound back (and after that, removed AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and Disabler kexts). I did that because i figured that it was just a minor update, and that other extensions were unchanged.

Everything else works pefectly.

What should i do to get USB back?

Oh yes... would someone be kind enough to zip their Extensions (from the 10.5.8 install) folder and upload it to rapidshare or something like that?

Thx

Thanks for the tip. I tried it by using Time Machine as well. but it doesnt seem to work.

I fixed my problem!!!

The problem was caused by restoring all the Extensions (although the only thing that needed fixing was sound)... seems that 10.5.7 USB kext is not the same as 10.5.8... and that caused problems

So... i did this:

1. download 10.5.8 update from apple.com
2. update again (following the steps described by netkas)
3. after everything is done, just restore the extensions you need

voila... everything works now... my flash drives, my iPhone... great!

Good news!

Install went fine here with Netkas' instructions
Like last time I had a KP on first reboot, but on second reboot everything was working, just had to restore applehda.kext...

Sleep unfortunately still not working

If you have an nvidia card, get rid of your present injection method (device properties string, DSDT patch or injector) and try NVenabler (find it at the ProjectOSX forums). Not only did it make S3 sleep work for me, I also got fully working TV-out. Note that you can only have two working displays at once, so it's either secondary monitor or TV.
