Even after 48 hours from the official relase of Mac OS X 10.5.8 from Apple we are happy to announce the release of the upgrade kit Delta and Combo of the version 10.5.8.

You can install both the updates KIT on others OSx86 distros ( for example Kalyway, Leo4All, iATKOS, iPC, etc.. ) and works on Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 systems.

The delta version has a size of 292 Mb, but you must have installed Mac OS X 10.5.7, while for the combo version ( 775 Mb ) you can update your system with all version of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.

The updates allow you to keep all main patch installed with the distro ( es. AppleHDA.kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext, AppleACPIPlatform.kext, IONetWorkingFamily.kext etc.. ) and you can find the original files instead in Kext Disabled.

After upgraded, you can use iDeneb.Tool.v10.5.8.mpkg for install all patches, original files and others utility.

For more info and download, you can visit the official site of iDeneb.

I have already installed 10.5.8 but I would love to test out the iDeneb tools 10.5.8, I will appreciate it if anyone its nice to send me the file to me? thanks!

you can find the file on official site of iDeneb.

Yeah I know, but I don't want to download 292MB when I just need the tools not the whole update.

uhm.. maybe, enter some hours, there will be also only tool.

ok, now there is also only tool.

Thanks!

Great & fast work! Separate tool should be very useful too...

yo jack layne hmm can you
upload the 10.5.8 files in: www.thepiratebay.org www.mininova.org www.demonoid.com
because when i try 2 download the delta update it ask me for premium acount [in your webpage] and those things will never work, the download always freezes and i cant get it thanks in advance

Log in on the main page of their site until the login box on the download page shows you're logged in (refresh a few times). Also try to allow cookies from there etc...

So I do have a question about the iDeneb.Tool.v10.5.8.mpkg, the 10.5.8 extensions in it are compatible with what systems? (I've got an Intel dual Xeon here with ESB2 southbridge & 5400 series MCH, system profiler has never shown all 12Mb of cache on these cpu's, only 6 as in a consumer quad core.)

Problem after ugrade:
From IDeneb 10.5.5 to IDeneb 10.5.8 using IDeneb Combo upgrade. After reboot i receive:



I use Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L an Sata hard disk.

Anyone knows how to fix?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, update from iDeneb 10.5.7 worked fine. Booted up with the voodoo kernel, then installed the voodoo 9.5.0 kernel with iDeneb Tool to make it the default (that's right, yeah?).

One bug was I lost QE & CI on my x1950xt after the update. I reinstalled empty_skull's beta 10.5.7 driver again, but still no qe ci joy. I then reinstalled empty_skull's 10.5.6 kexts with kext helper, rebooted and now all is good.

Ok, I seemed to have lost graphics, black screen after the boot where desktop is mean to appear :/

I installed delta update and everything still works great! I had to reinstall the battery bundle, i mean i backed up the previous powermanagement.bundle and repair permissions.

I still use my voodoo controller... about the kernel i was using voodoo 9.5.0, but with the update, now is vanilla 9.8.0 and i'm lovin' it!

Is not necessary to reinstall the seatbelt.kext

I also updated my bootloader, from chamaleon 2rc1 to 2rc2, using the package included.

My my laptop is a LG R510...

PS: i had 10.5.7 version, updated using a ideneb combo 10.5.7 from a iPC DL 10.5.6

Thanks a lot! However, it would be really good if you could share the files through famous torrent sources too, like ThePirateBay or Demonoid, because Megaupload is blocked over here. Torrents can be shared much easier.

Thanks again for the effort and time.

Sorry but this update doesn't work.

I am upgrading from iDeneb 10.5.6 to iDeneb 10.5.8 but I get "Still Waiting for root device error" after upgrade to 10.5.8.

I made a backup of the kexts in the Extensions folder before trying to upgrade to 10.5.8 but don't know what command to write on terminal on the iDeneb DVD to get the back up kexts restored.

Please advise?

after installing the combo, system will not shutdown completely like how it was on 10.5.6. when i installed the 10.5.7 combo update it fixed the shutdown problem so i guess i'll have to revert to it.

Updated iatkos v7 and ideneb 10.5.7 using this update and it worked for me.

On ideneb i did -v and typed vanilla like the directions stated but it would not boot so i had to go into use my second install to go into the drive and repair permissions and that worked fine for me.

In iatkos i did the same thing by typing -v -f vanilla and all was ok.

In both i had to reapply some backup kexts but that was no biggie for me.

Thanks Jack Layne for the kit
Using the software update rendered one of my installs useless

For people having trouble booting back into you system
try repairing permission that worked fine for me. If not try -v -x -f commands so that you can see what is going on etc.

Pls help instruct me how to update to v 10.5.8 via tool kit 10.5.8 iDeneb. I mean, after i had download this tool and how can i mark option to install? thanks - if you can, pls also post image on this to view.

I tried it and made a mess, can you please explain step by step how to use it, I'm using a iDeneb 10.5.7 on a Samsung NC10

i used the combo upgrade kit to update my hackintosh desktop and notebook (sony) VGN-NS11Z) . Both were in 10.5.5.

For my desktop, after 2 reboots, everything goes flawless and for my notebook, one reboot was enough.

So, my desktop had a kalyway 10.5.5 distro and the notebook had a ideneb 10.5.5 distro.

I have a dual boot on both systems (Seven & OSX 10.5.8)

For my notebook, the GC is an ATI 3430 mobility, i've never had CI/QE enabled.

Thanks to ideneb for their upgrade kit.

Ok, I just updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 using the iDeneb Delta Upgrade Kit and it works perfectly. I ran the update, and my system booted up as usual afterwards. However, I was wondering, am I supposed to use the iDeneb Update Tool to install "Original Kext 10.5.8," "ACPI Kext," "SMBIOS Extensions," or any of the other patches included?

I originally did a vanilla install from the retail DVD 10.5.6 using the Weaksauce guide. My hardware is listed in my sig.

Everything seems to be working fine at the moment, but I wanted to be sure if I am supposed to install the patches from the Update Tool or not.

Thanks

Since this update I have been getting infrequent/random but annoying kernel panics without any errors in system Console/logs, with system audio muted they've gone away. AppleHDA related I'm sure, am using the 883 injector (3 ports) from the iDeneb 1.5.1 install cd.

this is how I update my iDeneb 10.5.7 to 5.8. First I made a backup of my extensions folder, than I updated through apple update, just like real mac , of course it didn't boot, so I booted in Windows 7, installed mac drive, opened my os x hdd, deleted extensions, copied and pasted my backed extensions, rebooted my system using any os x DVD, from DVD I repaired hard drive and permission, rebooted again , I chose safe mode -x -f , viola booted into OS X , from OS X I used OSx86 utility to repair extensions/permissions again, rebooted and it works like a charm, video/audio, everything. so try this method.

I had iDeneb 10.5.6 updated to 10.5.7. Used the Delta version and lost graphics.
My card is ATI HD4870 1GB.

Tried -v -f without success.

Can anyone help me??

Thanks!

iDeneb 10.5.7 update to 10.5.8 with Delta Upgrade didn't work, hangs at "still waiting for root device."

MSI P35 Neo-F, Q6600, 6 gigs of DDR2 (maxmem=3072), 500 gig SATA drive, DVD burner SATA, GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB.

Everything working with 10.5.7 except for the memory >3 gigs, I reckon it has something to do with the drives which seem to be running in IDE mode. Strangely my BIOS doesn't have AHCI option available, only IDE/Disabled!

No way for me to boot after update. Something goes wrong with cpu clock both with voodoo or anv kernels.

Ok, I just updated my Dell Latitude D620 from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 using the iDeneb Combo Upgrade Kit... and it works perfectly using ImDude method... first i backed-up my Extensions folder and the run the combo update... after that i just follow every step that ImDude used except boot from DVD...

Thanks

Just tried updating my leo4all (10.5.4) now stuck in endless reboot cycle.

Please help me what should i do?

Got it working did a repair permissions using disk then started using voodoo at boot

Here's one for ya. I ran the Combo Updater from Ideneb OSX10.5.6 to OSX10.5.8... auto rebooted twice. No ethernet. Restored my Yukon kext and got that working. Everything else seems fine except for one little annoying thing...

When I go to "About this Mac", click on "More Info" my machine crashes when trying to see the details for my GFX card. I can look at everything else, ie: firewire, usb, etc, but as soon as I select Graphics, I get the "You must restart your computer" error. I can live with it as everything is running fine.

What is even more strange is that I actually have the Apple graphics card upgrade which is a Radeon 2600xt. You would think that the OS would just accept it.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Maybe I need a different kext file for it?

I did it ImDude's way... just without booting back into the DVD... and it worked perfectly! I went from iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 using the combo kit. I have audio/video/mouse/keyboard/ethernet/restart. I tried shutdown and it shuts everything off, but does not power down the system. I'll look into that. Also my USB is kind of messing up... it doesn't want to mount my USB drives or flash drives. Hmm... something else I'll be looking into.

So, it seems that when the system updates using the iDeneb updates, something in the /Extensions gets lost and messes things up. So... just in case... backup your /Extensions folder using:

sudo cp -rf /System/Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions_old

...and everything should be ok. And I had also never heard of MacDrive before! That is an awesome tool to have and it works with my Windows 7 64-bit! Sweet! Thanks for you guys help.

Hi all,

Excuse my ignorance but can someone please point me in the direction of the ImDude method.



Thanks

Apologies, I see it now.

I have no graphics at all after the 10.5.8 iDeneb Delta Update.

Nvidia GeForce 7600 GO in Toshiba Satellite P100.

When I press the power button and then R the machine restarts, so the OS itself is responsive. It is just that there is no graphical UI at all.

I applied my 10.5.7 Extensions backup --> same thing, so it seems to be something outside the Extensions folder (Framebuffer? OpenGL?).

Does anybody have an idea, or experience with this 10.5.8 update NVidia graphics bug?

Thanks,
Bugs

This is how I upgraded from Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.8. First I did a fresh install of 10.5.2 and then downloaded iDeneb 10.5.7 Combo Update. For some reason, every time I tried installing the update, it would freeze at around 41 or 42% rendering Mac OS unusable. I couldn't even get it to go into safe mode Finally, I installed a clean version of Kalyway, booted into safe mode and installed 10.5.7. Worked like a charm! I followed the installation guides from the posts, rebooted twice and was up and running with 10.5.7. For 10.5.8, all I did was download the Delta update from Apple. I installed Disabler.kext and dsmos.kext using OSX86Tools, rebooted, and backed up my Extensions folder. I performed the update, opened OSX86Tools and did the following: >>> Check repair permissions >>> Set kext permissions >>> Clear extensions cache >>> Restart. After reboot I had 10.5.8! All I had to do after that was copy my backed up Extensions folder into the existing Extensions folder to fix some minor issues such as slow internet and errors under System Profile where it was showing I only had 3.25 gigs of ram installed. Also, to fix the issue with System profile where it gives an error under Hardware Overview all I did was replace the SPPlatformReporter.spreporter file under the SystemProfiler folder. I must say I am thoroughly enjoying my 10.5.8 with full HD resolution on a GTX 260 video card with everything enabled.

System specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ running at 2.53 GHz
4 gigs of OCZ DDR ram
K8N Platinum SLI motherboard
BFG GeForce GTX 260 896 mb ram video card
24" HP w2338H monitor
