©öñFü5íóÑ Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have been absent from the OSx86 scene for the better part of the year and have missed updates 10.5.3 THROUGH 10.5.5. Currently, I'm running off of Kalyway 10.5.2 and would like to get up to 10.5.5. Is it possible to update directly to 10.5.5 from Kalyway 10.5.2? Without having to go through 10.5.3 and/or 10.5.4? It is only slightly frustrating trying to find what I need since most resulting web articles and forum threads already contain the terms "10.5.2", "10.5.5", "10.5.3", "10.5.4"..... and many don't even seem to be relevant. So please, if you can, spell out your installation process and make sure to give specific details when appropriate. I've made this topic so that anyone else who wants to update directly can find the info they need. This is for updating from KALYWAY 10.5.2. Thanks.

Suprjacob Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hm. I'm not an expert on OSX86 of any sort, but you could try downloading the iDeneb 10.5.5 disc from a certain bay for pirates. And then install that over your current install (without reformatting)? I don't know if that would corrupt anything or not. Or, if you want to just completely reinstall using iDeneb (only 10.5.5 disc i found, please tell if there are more, have not used it), that would work too.

_Psy_ Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 i did without problems, i had 10.5.2 kalyway and i downloaded combo update and i install using netkas method, before you have to do some tricks like backup your kernel and also extentions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrbx Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I tried the combo update using netkas method but it trashed my install.. my best method is to use kalyway 10.5.3 combo , then upgrade to 10.5.4 delta, and finally upgrade to 10.5.5 delta using netkas method.

MooNLighT Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 It's possible... I've just make upgrade This what I do: 1. downloaded comboupdate 10.5.5 from Apple site 2. Installed this kext: http://www.filefactory.com/file/d5af89/n/I...sabler_kext_zip 3. Restart system 4. Started Terminal, went under sudo -s and after password enter run default for this situation script: "while sleep 0.5; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext; done" 5.

MooNLighT Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Damn, forgot!!! Do not reboot while You don't make next step: You also need to replace "Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext" to "dsmos.kext" in /System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 in terminal as admin type: nano System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 and almost at the end of file this string For me this file was unreachable, so I've to go to InstallAtStartup and unlock it for my account (also inner files and directories) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computer Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi there. I updated my kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 now 3 times. I have done everything as the netkas method but I always end up rebooting to a still screening stating "using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster..." By the way I have done this on various machines and mine 3 times today, I must be missing something. My machine: core2duo E6550 2.33ghz, Asrock 1333-d667, 1gb ram.. Any help much appreciated.

sirNemanjapro Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ^Same as you. My install of Combo 10.5.5 breaks on 39%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2J Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I went through .3 and .4 with some troubles but I came over them, but 10.5.5 totally broke my system. I am re-installing right now the KalyWay 10.5.2 and will update to 10.5.4 only + new Chameleon 2.0 RC1 (tested and works fine). I just need to boot wit sleepkernel > ENTER.* I guess the 10.5.5 need EFI boot loader + Vanilla Kernel, the things I am never able to get, just guessing .. I am following this guide: http://######.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=105&Itemid=48 * If anyone can help me set the sleepkernel as a default boot kernel, I will be thankful. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSSPC Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 @moonlight I typed in this: nano System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 and I cant work out where to go from there, can you spell it out for me? I'm a n00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNLighT Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 @moonlight I typed in this: nano System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 and I cant work out where to go from there, can you spell it out for me? I'm a n00b Hi. If You just see empty editor in terminal, this can be same what I have. I'm even said about this For me this file was unreachable, so I've to go to InstallAtStartup and unlock it for my account (also inner files and directories) You have to locate "InstallAtStartup" in System folder via Finder. If You will see red sign with white brick, this mean, what you don't have rights to view this folder. Select "InstallAtStartup" folder, hit Cmd+I, in opened info panel go to "Sharing & permissions:" (hit on the lock icon and enter password) and add yourself in list of users there. Before close panel. After that, hit option wheel at the bottom of that info panel and choose: "Apply to enclosed items" And than try again type nano System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 in terminal window. BTW, maybe will much better use: sudo nano System/InstallAtStartup/script/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
