EDIT: Now check apple's software updates (apple menu) 377MB? + Combo here 669 MB Before updating check this Netkas info and this DSDT and this Chameleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ BlurKing Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 You made me run Software Update immediately XD Anyway it isn't released yet. Software Update says no software available, none posted on Apple website yet... they probably found more bugs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Something BIG must be on the way!!? I've had a few firmware upgrades today on my NEW MacBook! This is normally a good indication of it happening! SticMAC You made me run Software Update immediately XD Anyway it isn't released yet.

Dr. Hurt Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Firmware update? They probably changed something in the way Macs boot because the firmware dated Dec 10 is for all Macs. I have a feeling that the next update will break our hacks. It's gonna be more than DSDT and RTC. Anyway, I don't have the update in my software update.

Volcacius Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've seen some users in the forum that are already using 10.5.6 beta version with DSDT patch and no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sofpedia is not good for credible news. MacRumors also say that posibly 10.5.6 will be released on Frinday, but as you can check no release yet. But why is so important that 10.5.6 should be in front page news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why is so important that 10.5.6 should be in front page news I ment Apple front page, though it should be in this site's front cauz 10.5.5 was a front news?

flibblesan Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 This DSDT business worries me a lot. As it's impossible to produce a working DSDT patch for my HP desktop, I'll end up stuck on 10.5.5 for the foreseeable future.. unless some bright spark produces a way to install 10.5.6 without the DSDT requirements.

Why not take AppleRTC.kext from 10.5.5 and put it in 10.5.6? I believe that should work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ajob Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 2 questions regarding 10.5.6 - Will the XNU Voodoo release kernel help if it blocks the dsmos, power management and hwsensor kexts, or is it just the RTC kext thats the killer? For those who can't patch DSDT, will it be possible to use a disabler.kext in advance to stop the rtc and other dangerous or irrelevant kexts from loading - I guess a packaged installer for a generic disabler.kext could be useful as an update prep tool if this is the case?

netkas Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 you cant remove applertc.kext - system will not work. u can use older one, from 10.5.5, but then u need to use few pther low level kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
