_Psy_ Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The guide appears to have worked for my system, but there are some oddities that have appeared afterward. First I'll let you know what my hardware is and then what the issues are. Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz CPU (It's either a 530 or 531) Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2C Motherboard 4 GB Corsair Value Select DDR2-667 2 80 GB Samsung hard drives. (1 for system the other for Timemachine) Nvidia 7200 GS 128MB Video Card So the update went off without a hitch, but after completing the final boot, I went into "About this Mac" and OS X think I now have a 4 Ghz unknown CPU. For some odd unexplained reason I can't actually enter timemachine anymore. It opens a window with my desktop contents and then it sits there like its frozen until I hit the X in the top left corner of the window. It appears to still do backups though, so I'm not sure what's going on. I am curious though if I would be able to get some detailed help from you guys about another issue that has persisted from the very beginning. NOTE: I am a noob when it comes to OS X, but not Linux, and I know that these 2 OSes have there similarities, so I shouldn't be completely lost with your guidance. When I installed OS X, from the Kalyway 10.5.2 disc, I just had it load every kernel available becasue I wasn't sure which one would work properly. Now that I know the sleep and speedstep kernels work, how do I have OS X boot from one of them automagically without having to type it EVERY time? Thanks guys for all the help you have already supplied and all the help to come! does it work ? because when i was doing this in the middle of the process showed to me that screen "you have to reboot" your pc, and always when i boot i got the same error.. is there a hope? or do i hv to format?

Omakayd Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Why are you guys asking about upgrading to 10.5.5 and the problems associated with it? read the title of the thread it says: 10.5.3 Update Guide l3rn 2 r3ad? maybe you can read that... >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livius Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi guys, sorry for the question...I'm switching from Leo on my DEll just a week ago and I'm such a dummy...so, here the question: My Leo version is a 10.5.2 Kalyway, it should be possible to install directly the 10.5.5 combo update following this nice guide? ...Or I have to pass by all the previous update version before? Thanks in advance! Livius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveskunk Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 you should be able to update directly to 10.5.5 since it's comboupdate. i will give it a try this week on my hp pavilion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking8 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 does it work ? because when i was doing this in the middle of the process showed to me that screen "you have to reboot" your pc, and always when i boot i got the same error.. is there a hope? or do i hv to format? Regards! I guess the short answer is that it does work, just with differing issues attached to each persons PC's because of having different hardware. I'm still so new at this that I really don't have any help I can give, sorry. With the issues I am having, I don't know the first thing I would need to do fix them, so I am going to format/reinstall and try to do an update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 and see if things work better, and when more promising info comes out on updating to 10.5.5, I'll revisit it then. I was just curious if anyone has an easy way of booting with a specific kernel without having to type it's name each and every boot? Thanks!

sfboarders Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I tried this method from Kalaway 10.5.2 and used the netkas method and tried it with 10.5.5 kalaway and all I got when I rebooted was the gray screen. After a couple of minutes I got a no/don't do that symbol (if you know what I mean). I also got this same error when I tried updating with the Mystious C way. Your help is greatly appreciated.

rheneas Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I know others have used this technique to install 10.5.5 successfully. However I tried it from Kalyway 10.5.4 and got a kernel panic while the installer was running. Using -v to boot there was a repeated statement about "No HPET" or something like that (sorry for the lame description). It also seemed to choke on the absence of the AppleCPUPowerManagement.kext. Incidentally I successfully installed 10.5.5. using Mysticus C's approach but that is AHCI only and wouldn't allow me to boot into XP, which I have on a separate HDD.

I ran the update no doing the following steps prior to. I was under the impression that it would be ok. OBVIOUSLY now my computer is broken because I didnt do this, now my question is, can I fix this at all? if so, can some one help me to do it ? thanks. [EDIT] So, I just remembered that I had my time machine connected. Can I use this to restore my Hackintosh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrimaxi Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi, Thanks for this Guide. I did a fresh install of Kalyway 10.5.2 and everything went fine except audio (but I have the patch for this). Audioazalia patch applied. I downloaded the combo update to upgrade to 10.5.5. Upgrade to 10.5.5 following the guide but now my PS2 keyboard and network doesn't work anymore. What can I do ? I assume I should find in the Kalyway DVD the ktext for my network and the ps2 fix, isn't it? And how can I install those ktext? Thank you in advance Adrimaxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmi2002 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi this is a very basic questions about updating, but I can't find the answers after reading several threads on updating from 10.5.x to 10.5.y. All upgrade threads say i should back up my drivers before starting the update and then replace them after replacing "the line Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext with dsmos.kext". How do I back up my drivers. Do I simply copy them out of the extensions folder and paste them back after the install. Or do I individually reinstall all the kexts needed for my mobo with kext helper? If someone can help me out with this will be really appreciated. If there is a thread that I missed somewhere that explains this in more detail can someone please point me to it. Thanks. My system profile is in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secret52 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have an Intel Desktop board. Booted off the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD and installed just fine. Updated to 10.5.3 Kalyway Combo Update. Updated to 10.5.4 using netkas guide and Pacifist. Started the 10.5.5 Combo Update using the netkas guide again with Pacifist. About half way through the update, it gave me the grey reboot screen. Rebooted and continuously get the grey screen. I can see the bash screen behind it and it says: Mac OS Version: Not Yet Set Kernel Version: Darwin 9.3.0 When doing the 10.5.5 update I ignored the mach_kernel update. Is this necessary for the update to work? I used it when updating to 10.5.4. System Specs: Motherboard: Intel D1001GGC CPU: Celeron D (Prescott) Memory: 1GB (2x512) Video: ATI Radeon X200 onboard Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB OS: Windows XP (40GB) OSX86 - Kalyway 10.5.2 updated to 10.5.4 mach_kernel (currently broken due to 10.5.5 combo update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_GUS Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi!, I have an Asus P5KPL-AM with a XFX geforce 7200 GS. And I installed the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd (sse2/sse3) EFI V8. Out of the box worked, (or disk), just fine. But then I tried to update It to 1.5.5 following this guide. What happens is that the file you mention I have to edit /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1 does not exist. Anyway I try to create It and add the text line, but inmediatly when I save It, It displays an error "bus error" on the screen. Any clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
