pookeye Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 has anyone tried Zeph's AMD Software Update with 10.5.3 update? I've searched everywhere to find out what the results were, did it work? i tried to install the security update using his update, and it made my install restart all the time, my guess is the kernel probably got updated too to 9.2.2 which caused my restarting all the time... since I have an AMD that is.... anybody?

Snerler Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I just used the 0.5 version to update to 10.5.3. Then I installed the 9.3 kernel.pkg and restarted. This is the first time that i was able to successfully update my AMD computer with out reinstalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joege Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm having issues with the updater and installing 10.5.3 at this time. Have a post over at: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry800358 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac2310 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I have a kalyway 10.5.2 and I used ASU (0.5) to upgrade it to 10.5.4. I ran the update combo package manually and was able to upgrade it. I had issues with graphics (8600 GT - nvidia). I used the nvisntaller.v.52.pkg. I had save my video kext earlier and after installing the package copied it back to the system/library/extensions to get hardware accelerated graphics.

Joege Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 How are you running the combo update manually? I watch the download proceed then the file gets moved to a "temporary" area or so it says. From there, the extraction process starts and then promptly locks up. I'm thinking that my machine may update successfully if I perform the steps manually. Let me know on this when you have a moment. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preskush Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm having the same issue as Joege... 10.5.2 Zephyroth installed and once the pkg is downloaded, the updater says "Moving packages to temporary folder" and never moves an inch past that. Any instructions on manual install or other suggestions would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joege Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Link to the pic of the issue in question. Of course this was for the 10.5.3 update, but the same exact thing is happening for 10.5.4. AMD Kernel Panic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cicyoass Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I just have to say, what a amazing piece of software. Thanks to Zephyroth, I was able to update iDeneb 10.5.4 to full 10.5.5, with iTunes 8, Quicktime 7.5.5, and everything. I hope that he, amongst other developers, continues to create amazing things.

olina Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Source (For download link please visit the original page) This (especially once finalized) is huge for AMD users, as patching CPUIDs with updates and not applying updates because of new kernels and system.kext's is a huge pain. As stated by Zephyroth, anyone interested should be wary of using this on their primary partition, as it is a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
