NYC Coyote Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just noticed that myself. Honestly, I would wait for a Kalyway update pack or something of that sort. Why even worry, and do you need to be the first one on the block with the update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player To Be Named Later Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi man No patch needed in my hackintosh kalyway 10.5.3 Only Software Update. Seems to be work fine here!!!!! Regards I can also confirm this. I knew it was a gamble, but I figured worst case, time machine for the win. Everything appears to be functioning correctly. CI, QE, sound, network, etc. I was running a Kalyway 10.5.2 install upgraded using the Kalyway 10.5.3 updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feek Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Aye, I just did the same, all working. 10.5.2 Kalyway, manual 10.5.3 install and it just patched itself quite happily, all working. I'm running vanilla kernel on a C2D CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalMatrix Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've been waiting for this patch to fix the spaces issues. Gonna wait a bit before I update though. Had a hard time with 10.5.3 so I don't want to just jump into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivhg Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just Backup your extensions folder before doing this update..... I am doing a time machine backup before installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cave Man Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Has anyone went from 10.5.2 directly to 10.5.4, and if so did you use the Software Update or stand-alone 10.5.4 updater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wig72 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I can confirm that no patch is needed for updating via software update. Fabulous ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivhg Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 No standalone Updater as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cave Man Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just Backup your extensions folder before doing this update..... I am doing a time machine backup before installing. Jiver, In the event of a Time Machine restore, can you just reinstall from the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD, then use Migration Assistant to get everything back from the TM volume, including video drivers and audio patch? Or do you need to reapply those after the reinstall? I just don't want to trash my setup if something goes wrong... Thanks, CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I just upated with software update, everything seems fine.

Cave Man Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It would be great if everyone who's been successful would report what they updated from (e.g., 10.5.3, 10.5.2, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulobrien Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Kalyway 10.5.2 updated to 10.5.3 with Vanilla Kernel, NVKush with AppleSMBIOS 28 and Azalia sound install, updated via Software Update and all good.

coccolino_dbro Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Be more specific, people, or you might put some others in trouble... for example, I bet all who succeded were running a vanilla kernel; maybe other will believe otherwise and break their non-vanilla installs.

Cave Man Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update (561MB):http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...mboupdate.html This one should work with 10.5.0-10.5.3 (using Apple's standard rules of updates). Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update (88MB):http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054update.html This one requires that you're already using 10.5.3 (delta updater).

mitch_de Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I done it with the delta (59 MB) Softwareupdate. NO PROBLEM : MSI 965 NEO-F; E2160; ATI 2600 XT I look everytime in the .pkg with pacifist BEFORE i update - so i can see if some of the critical things (Audio, Video, IDE,SATA ...) are updated. If found, i wouldt installit the "quick way". In this small 10.5.4 update : no changes for critical things for my system, except as always new kernel / system.kext But you need an CD,C2D or E21XX CPU to use the new kernel (vanilla) /. Or wait for patched AMD/Pentium D Kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I pursume people would need a vanilla kernel to install it straight from software update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
