Panarchy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hello! Just wondering! Found 10.5.4 in my Software update thing. Is it usually within a day that the new one is released? Or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrog007 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just to let you know, what most people are doing is just doing the apple software update. Atleast that's what I did, and I had no problem, it just killed my usb acceptance. Other than that, works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hmm, would doing the update, then a repatch of the kernel work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 If your CPU is not Core2, then modbin has released a patched 9.4 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrog007 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 How would I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well I've got a Core2 Quad CPU... Um, will my USB support be stuffed if I update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perimbean Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yup! Core 2 Quad is supported. I'm running that on my machine. Cheers! perimbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xazac Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 If your CPU is not Core2, then modbin has released a patched 9.4 kernel. My CPU is not a Core 2, it's a Core Duo T2300. And Vanilla works VERY WELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steenamaroo Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 from what i've gathered, usb will fail if the kernel is updated, without a matching system.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ok, thx Will wait for a new system.kext then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steenamaroo Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 there should be a system.kext available for your kernel. i'm no guru,,,,so try searching for how to find your kernel version and system kext versions, if they mismatch,,,,either search for a matching kernel ,or system kext on the forums. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Waffles Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I would like a new Kalyway distro too. Save time updating, get newest kext/patches is always good If you read this kalyway, plz plz update your distro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cizle Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I once did the update and it killed my whole system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Maybe I won't try it then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrog007 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Ahh I need to find out what my system.kext is and my system kernel are! Apparently from what I'm getting I have a mismatched system.kext and system kernel... so how do I found out if that's true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AubieTiger Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Are these updates absolutely necessary? I'm at 10.5.2 and hesistant to combo pkg as I have my system configured just right. I guess what i'm asking is that will I run into compatibility problems anytime soon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Are these updates absolutely necessary? I'm at 10.5.2 and hesistant to combo pkg as I have my system configured just right. I guess what i'm asking is that will I run into compatibility problems anytime soon?? I was a little hesitant at first, but I made a backup and tried the 10.5.3 Kalyway Combo Update and it worked fine on my 10.5.2 kalyway installation. Followed the instructions (make sure to not hit "Restart" until after you've run the other package) and rebooted to 10.5.3. I'm patiently waiting for the Kalyway 10.5.4 update package. He makes it so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesonBowen Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi All Successful update to 10.5.4 using software update. My system was at 10.5.3 thanks to kalyway update. I thought i would brave it and try the update and sure enough it worked. Oddly enough after reboot i typed "uname -a" to see which kernel i was running. It repoted 9.2 by TOH, odd. I then rebooted and typed in "-f update -v" , now im running off the 9.4 vanilla kernel. Good luck to all who attempt this. Oh yeah specs Aopen i975xa-YDG Intel T7200 2GHZ oc'd @ 2.4GHZ EVGA 7800GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Went from Kaly 10.5.2 disk > Kaly 10.5.3 combo update (and followed the instructions in the thread) > 10.5.4 through normal apple software update. Working fine. CI/QE no longer worked after combo, but answer in thread. Gigabyte P35-DS3L 8800GT C2D 2ghz It was literally a brand new machine with first install so I had nothing to lose, but all is really solid now, Im very happy!

krassi Vassev Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Everyone, the best solution is to install "Chameleon" and update directly from Apple. Your distro automatically becomes Mac OS X. No more troubles and patches. No more Jas, Leo4all, Kalyway...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roTTenMyTH Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Okay great, i will give Chameleon a try, but im running on a sse2 system, wont it still break if software update decides to install sse3 kernels??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Krassi, can you please explain that to me? I am using Kalyway 10.5.2. to my knowledge there are several non-standard things that have been installed by Kalyway, including things like AppleSMBIOS.kext, NVinject, audio drivers for my mobo, etc.. Also the power handling kext I think was removed. Probably more, I don't know of a list that explains all the hacks. Additionally, a sleep kernel is used by default. All of that is on top of PC_EFI, which is basically the same thing as Chameleon. Chameleon does make it possible to use a completely vanilla kernel, but often people are not using the vanilla kernel and often they have various different custom tweaked drivers to work 100% well with their hardware. So if you then apply an update from Apple its going to overwrite some of those kext tweaks and leave you with something that might work or might not. That is how I understand it. Just because you have Chameleon installed does not mean you can just apply the apple updates without concern.....unless I'm missing something.

sei-aidyn Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Started with the Leo4Allv3 10.5.2 and updated using Kalyway 10.5.3 Combo update... then followed using 10.5.4 Software update. Everything works fine even since i didn't have to worry about Video drivers due to ATI HD3850. Just curious though because now i'm having the 'White Menus' issue. Anybody else have the same problem? and can anybody help me with a fix for it, if there is one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_maestro Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Are these updates absolutely necessary? I'm at 10.5.2 and hesistant to combo pkg as I have my system configured just right. I guess what i'm asking is that will I run into compatibility problems anytime soon?? The 10.5.3 is a big update from .2 -- it includes the Leopard Graphics update, and support for many new printers. The main reason I went to .3 was for the Brother Printer drivers, but as a bonus I got QE/CI working with my Intel GMA X3100 graphichs (although I had to use the 3100FB kext from the .2 install). The 10.5.4 update seems pretty minor. According to apple, "The 10.5.4 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac." More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1994 For my money, if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it -- unless it's for a specific reason.
