user2 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I had to replace the Ioplatformplugin too. I can only boot 10.4.6 in safe mode otherwise I get a panic. edit: in verbose mode I was getting a chud error so I safe booted and uininstalled it. When booting normaly I no longer get a panic but the gui in unuseable, its' distorted, and what I can mke out is not in the correct position on the screen.

kin123 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The error I get from Darwin when I start with the -v: Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin This appears in yellow! As for the other post about this being unconfirmed, WELL IT'S CONFIRMED, I am sitting here with 10.4.6 booting. Follow the instructions yourself, make some changes to his scripts to make them run and you will get the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kin123 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Partial Patch Solution for 10.4.6 Step 1 - Backup your files a. Start up into single user mode (-s). Mount the file system with the commands on the screen. b. Backup the Kernel: cd / cp mach_kernel mach_kernel.bak c. You should backup your Extensions folder as well. Step 2 - Download the files you need. a. Download the 10.4.6 Intel update from Apple. b. Download the original decrypted files that you will need to put back in order to boot. I've taken the liberty of commenting out the lines as needed in the replace.sh so it will run regardless of OS version. http://tinyurl.com/nryyo c. Uzip the file above to a folder that is easily accessible from the root of the filesystem. Step 3 - The install a. Mount and run the 10.4.6 Intel update you've downloaded. The install will fail at 50% of "Optimizing" and freeze your computer. b. Manually restart your computer and boot into single user mode using your BACKUP kernel. "mach_kernal.bak -s" c. Put back your old kernel into place: cd / cp mach_kernel.bak mach_kernel d. Go to the folder where you extracted the decryped files. Run replace.sh ./replace.sh e. run the command: update_prebinding -root / -force f. Assuming no errors, Restart using the reboot command! -or- redo step d & e. These steps will get you to a booting 10.4.6 -- however if you watch carefully the messages in verbose mode, you will see some things are failing. Also, you may want to restore some of your backup kext's, as I've noticed by ATI video card no longer has QE and CI working. Hopefully some of you pro's can update this method to make it work perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzar Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Warning for people with a real cpu, DON'T install 10.4.6 it will royally screw up your system and there will no way to recover it until maxxuss patches the new homosexual cpuid {censored} added by the retarded apple code monkey. Damned {censored} let's hope they go out of business soon, boycott anything apple/intel/ati the evil trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

declan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Its funny really how we all crave the latest, and the question is what benefit really is it. Especially as it could screw everything up. I found it handy to keep a spare os x running on a 10 gb hard drive, can just swap cables without worrying about screwing os x, comes in handy for browsing my main os x drive to fix things.

jpolster2005 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Can anyone confirm the following does 10.4.6 stop me from using my realtek LAN card, and my WG311t CARD? In need to have wireless working, which is my Netgear WG311T card!. Does it break QE/CI on GMA900? Does it break the sound on AC97? In order to convince me to install 10.4.6 on my machine someone (maxxuss or someone else) will have to create a no-brainer install package that is easy and requires no complicated stuff, just double click and installl! 10.4.5 is working perfectly on my DC 5100 and i dont intend to screw that up! (I just need to find some Intel compatible GAMES and DVD rippers. Rosetta slows down DVD21x too much) on a side note does anyone know why the About this Mac shows why i have a 4.3 GHZ CPU and the system profiler says i have a 6 GHZ cpu when i only have a 3GHZ CPU?

If you open it with pacifist it's under the applications folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokinDerrick Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I right click on "MacOSXUpd10.4.5Intel.pkg" and pick "show package contents" and inside that is a "contents" folder inside that is resources and a few other things, there is no "applications" folder. alright, i went to the website and saw one called "update combo for intel" and I'm gonna try that one, it has a bigger filesize.

Proteo Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm not trying to tell you blind, but the folder is there. Right at the top of the list. I just updated all the applications, I see no differences though. Edit: Sorry man, I'm the blind one. I didn't read your post well. I'm talking about Pacifist, so opening the package there shows the folder. I haven't tried to open it in the way you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
