Followed the instructions exactly. Reboot was stuck at the blue screen. Originally installed Natit universal for JaS 10.4.8 SSE2/SSE3.

Powered off and then back up to enter safe mode. Now its stuck at safe mode login screen with color wheel spinning continuously. There's no way I can get past the color wheel so I could enter my password.

thanks a lot . its worked for me without any problems

helloThere am going to try your way of installing update for my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, I have try the Jas 10.4.9 one, it dosen't work at all, this is going to be my 5 time trying to update! Hopely it work if not just have to go back and reload my 10.4.8 image back on againe!!!

I just try to update but no luck!!! The computer just keep on rebooting!!!
I guess just stay on my old 10.4.8 for now. Anyway to fix it with the DVD installation Disc? Because I don't want to reloads my image again!!! Can I repair the Drive, so it boot my old one again?

You’re the man!!!!

Worked perfectly for me

To all the non tech like me don’t forget to type “sudo –s” in Terminal when you come to option 5 in this guide and download 10.4.9 Delta updater size (160MB) from Apple site and not 10.4.9 Intel Combo update

Worked flawlessly with an sse2 p4, but I must tell that on the first boot the system is using quite a lot of ram

thank you! I try your update instruction for my Intel system desktop, it work fine it show my cpu corectly! I try the Jas version it show wrong CPU. But am trying to get the sound to work I have a build in sound card I think it Sigmatel My bord is Intel975BX2 some like that and my video is ATI 1950 pro 256 megebyte I use X1950XT installer it work, but it dosen't give me all the full function, but it give my hightes res. 1360x768 for my samung LCD TV display!

thanks : )

now if i can get os x to pick up my cpu temp and fans....

Followed the instructions and updated successfully
Rebooted and stuck at blue screen
Booted from DVD, ran the installer and installed only Jas Intel GMA 950 driver
Rebooted, passed the blue screen but stuck at black screen with cursor (without spinning wheel)
Rebooted at safe mode, browsed the DVD and installed Jas Intel GMA 950 driver package
Rebooted and stuck again at the black screen with cursor

I'll try to format it but i'll backup the 950 kexts before the update...

Any other ideas?

Everything worked well, including the 8.9.1 kernel update from KoolKat.

I forgot to backup AppleAPIC.kext though. It seems not to have hurt anything, but what exactly does that .kext do and where can I get my old version if need be?

Did you have JaS 10.4.8 before with kernel 8.8.1 before? You followed the guide from Ahmad?

How did you upgraded the kernel to 8.9.1 and do you have the new mach_kernel with automatic fsb detection?

You can get the new kernel off the irc
Go to netkas.freeflux.net

You are the man

this method works on my sony vaio
now I'm running Hackintosh 10.4.9 with kernel 8.8.1

Here I attached my desktop screen shot

Thanx very much

regards

Thank's a lot.Worked for me.

Which one 10.4.9? 160Mb or 310Mb?

The delta update, so the 160MB file.

Does it matter whether you're getting the Delta update via Apple Update within OS X or getting the update from a browser download?

I don't think it does, but you should just download the delta updater from apple's site to have a backup copy of it in case you need to re-install or use it on another computer.

I followed this and had a near perfect install, except it kernel panic when i first restarted. But after i restarted machine after the "You need to restart, please hold your on/off switch" it all worked fine

thank you very much!

Thank! Ahmad Moawya I have try your way of updating to 10.4.9 for both of AMD and intel, and they both work perfect, for the Amd all I have to do was download Tubegirl AMD test, and it work!!!, But one thing I notest when I update I lost my sound driver, but all I have to do was redo and it work again!!! Thank man could not have done it with out you!!!

Can i do this if my install is a 10.4.8 but I can't boot into it at the moment and I thought if i upgraded it would fix the gray screen problem but it looks like you have to do this from within mac,

I'm about ready to do the 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 + 8.9.1 kernel update on my Pentium M (SSE2) laptop. I see Ahmed's guide for the 10.4.9 update but I can't find instructions for updating to the new kernel. How do I do this?

Works great! Added the 8.9.1 SSE2 kernel also... and dsmos.kext

This didn't work for me. 10.4.8 and 8.8.1 kernel. Not using any custom kexts apart from skge for Marvell Gigabit LAN.

Did guide exactly as stated. Kernel panic on bootup. Will try -v -f later and report exact error.

OH MY....
Well no boot flags will work since you have a kernel panic. Are you sure that you have done everything correctly??!!
This guide does not update the kernel so it's very unlikely that it will cause a kernel panic.
However, if you updated to 8.9.1 kernel by netkas, then delete appleintelccpupower.kext
by using Mac Drive.

Edit: read the last line in the kernel panic to see what caused the panic.

thx man nice howto.. very quickly..
mach weiter so

Your method is dead on. I've successfully updated from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 following your guide on a Dell Latitude D600. It should be worth noting, however, that the BCM5071 built-in EtherNet driver hack did not survive and I will have to rebuild that this evening to get that machine back on the network.

All in all, way to go.

Works Great on my Asus-P5WDH E6600 Dual Core

Computernaam: Apple Development Platform

Just started using Mac, don 't now how to take a screenshot..

Totally Worked! Thanks I couldn't find the delta update so I used Mac OSXUpd10.4.9Intel.dmg
Using Dell XPS m140
GMA 900 worked after DiaboliK.GMA900.Fixer.pkg.zip
Sigmatel HDA 9200 worked after reinstalling AppleHDAPatcher_v1.15 and applying my Dell.txt codec dump.

insert your install DVD and find the taurga audo patch and install it that should work

Got it fixed due to my handy dandy flash drive of files!

Hi

Thanks for this wonderful method. I was successful in updating from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9. However, my ATI 9800Pro seems to have lost the approporiate kext after the update:

Type: Display
Bus: PCI
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4e48
Revision ID: 0x0000
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1280 x 1024
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

So there is no CI/QE; I will need to figure out how to get CI/QE back,

Cool

I was able to upgrade to the 10.4.9 version using your guide.

Also, I did upgrade the kernel using latest Koolkal's utility (search on green demon).

Before upgrading to the latest kernel I was able to open the "About this Mac" menu item from the Apple menu, after doing so selecting that item will cause the session to close (without any warning) and get back to the Login window, so please be aware of this should you decide to go with the Kernel upgrade.

So far, everything works for me, except for QE / CI: both have known issues on the ThinkPad T43 (visual tearing when using the method to enable QE / CI). I decided to skip those steps in favor of a more stable experience with Mac OS.

Thanks for the guide, this one seems to be by far, the easiest way to upgrade to 10.4.9

To those who have ATI9700/9800 cards and lost QE/CI after the 10.4.9 update:

A simple fix is to copy the 10.4.8 ATIRadeon9700.kext and ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin back into the /Systems/Library/Extensions

confirm overwrite, delete the kext cache, repair disk permission, and reboot

you should then get QE/CI back!

Cool

Well although this update worked for the Dell Latitude D600, it doesn't seem to yet be successful for the Dell Latitude C840 I have just performed it on. After once again following the instructions as annotated, I ran into an issue after the reboot where the machine will boot to the gray apple and the litte grayish pinwheel will spin, then for some unknown reason a thin line will appear at the bottom of the screen like a bad refresh rate was selected and the frozen image on the screen will fade away. This will leave me with a blank screen.

At this time I am attempting to determine what is causing this - if anyone else has encountered it please let me know. If I figure out I will report results back here. I am doing a -v -f as we speak.


### UPDATE ###

As I performed a F8 -v -f it ran it's course. Upon loading what looked to be NVidia drivers, even in console the grayish screen appeared and faded into the console like it was a realtime burn of the screen itself. I did see some errors regarding diskarb, but I am not concerned with those.

I reboot with a -v -x to see what else I might run into. One error that was notable was:

in6_ifattach_linklocal: failed to configure a link-local address on lo0 (errno=55)
in6_ifattach: lo0 failed to attach a linklocal address

I am researching this error now to see what resolution can be taken. For the timebeing, I will probably delete the NVidia kexts to see if I can boot the screen without an apparent kernel panic.


### UPDATE ###

Ok, so far as I can tell, when the 10.4.9 update was run, it apparently scheduled the system to default to the NVidia drivers that I believe I formerly deleted from the system. Because of this, it would scramble itself on boot. If you run into this problem when updating from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 on the same or similar system, look at booting with an F8 and the -v -s commands. Type use the file modification options listed on the MOTD message that pops up atop the root# prompt. Then do type cd /system/library/extensions and do an ls -a . This will give you a listing of that directory. Look for ANY files beginning with NVDA and do a rm -rf on them. From there, all you should have to do is a reboot and the system should startup as normal.


### UPDATE ###

Question: Did anyone's update leave their system slow to accomplish simple point-and-click operations such as clicking on the Apple at top left and selecting "About This Mac"? Additionally, did anyone have their application open off-screen?

Thanks for the how to !!!! Everything is workin perfect, couldn't have done it without cha

Thanks Amhad IT REALLY WORKS! Hehehehehe... I just had to Update some files after- But it went smoothly.. here's a shot of my 10.4.9 update

Nice to see my method working for most of the people. I really want to make an installer including 10.4.9 and the newest 8.9.1 kernel, but I don't have time . My finals start in May

how to do i go about looking for the system.kext on jas10.4.8 dvd.
clumsy me i didn't back up the system.kext. and now my dmg files ain't mounting.
i'll post a screenie when my system fully works

You need someone to send it to you by e-mail or something.
Instead you can use pacifist to get the kext from the intel package located on the DVD.

dude i've got the old 1 through the dvd.
but i have a problem. everytime i click the "about this mac" i get logged out just like that without any warning
any solutions for this bro?
thanks

That means that you did not backup and replace the login window properly.
Just check the root of your mac partition for the loginwindow.app and and copy it to the core services folder. (Check my instructions)
Otherwise, get it off the 10.4.8 DVD from the 10.4.4.loginwindow package.

BRILLIANT

woot thanks a million bro it work's beautifully now
here's a screenie

For those who have no sound, here's a simple solution:

The update puts BACK into the extensions folder, AppleHDA.kext. So if that was one of the entensions that was deleted in the AppleAzalia audio install, it will cause it not to work. So to fix, drag the file to the trash. Drag the two extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext to the trash and reboot.

I have an AMD X2 CPU. So to update i need to use the tubgirl update first? I saw that one perosn in this thread suceeded with an AMD. Does anyone know the steps I should take with AMD?

Well, all I can tell you is that these instructions will seriously mess OS X up if you have and AMD, unless the AMD kernel has decryption function (which I really doubt). For AMD you need decrypts. I'm not really sure about the packages available for AMD right now.

To update my AMD Athlon64 3200+, I followed the Intel instructions. I also backed up and restored the system.kext as well before rebooting.
