mark7714 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 You seem to need a 10.4.3 installation to upgrade your 10.4.4 to 10.4.5... I deleted my 10.4.3 once I was happy with 10.4.4. *shrug* I guess that means no 10.4.5 for me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark7714 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Unless! I think I may try booting in safe mode with the 10.4.3 DVD, mount my 10.4.4 drive, and do everything from there... I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work... So I'm wondering, can anyone else see a reason why this wouldn't work? I'd like to know before I screw anything up.

Sabr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Where are you guys downloading this patch from? Just gimme a hint... EDIT: Nevermind... Found it EDIT 2: Do you think I would be able to install 10.4.4 into a volume under 10.4.1, then update it with 10.4.5, then follow the guide and hope it's bootable? Becuase, I was having major issues when trying to install 10.4.4 under 10.4.1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayland Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hmmmm.... followed the instructions perfectly, and it didn't work for me... it gets to blue screen and sticks... will try again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyman Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Is the mach_kernel actually a new version or is it the same as in the 10.4.4 patch? If so, what are the advantages of updating to 10.4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxuss Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 dijn, thanks for the info on the typo. The rest with the blue screen etc: Do you have a AMD CPU? If so, the AMD_Enabler batch patcher with the new cpuid_patches.txt for 10.4.5 is required: cd /AMD_Enabler chmod 755 patcher ./patcher cpuid_patches.txt | tee result.txt | less Do not (!) use the cpuid_patches.txt from 10.4.4.

Wayland Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have the same problem it seems, it loads perfectly until the user loading screen and then goes to a black screen with a white square in upper left corner. If in safe mode, it just sticks on the blue screen with cursor. MB: P5LD2-Vm with Pentium 4 processor with sse3. Graphics card built in 945 chipset if that helps.

ut2211 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Maxxuss, I made a native installation (not vmware): copied AppleSMBIOS to AppleSMBIOS.kext/Content/MacOS in /System/Library/Extensions and now it works !! I'm writing this from 10.4.5 Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm writing this from 10.4.5 Thank you. I am still with dijn, no such luck here. Can the steps be repeated again and overwrite everything? Edit: Can anyone post a working kernel? I think in trying to get it to work I may have overwrote the good one... Oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 i think u forgot to repair the permissions after copying AppleSMBIOS and then i did maybe not usefull retype the command such as kextcache etc enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pion Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 any1 know whats new in 10.4.5? why do i need to upgrade? my current osx is 10.4.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ut2211 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Cyclonefr is right. I did as he says and now it works. I have this problem in the boot: kld_load_from_memory() failed for module com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin \^[[33mFailed to load extension com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin. \^[[0mCouldn't alloc class "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin" and now I have a fixed resolution (1024x768) in display preferences. I used to have all resolutions in 10.4.4. and 10.4.3. QE and CI are still supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxuss Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 First of all, this kld_load_from_memory() failed for module com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin \^[[33mFailed to load extension com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin. \^[[0mCouldn't alloc class "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin" is ok. It's a warning we could live with. It's caused due to missing kernel dependencies. However, anything related to SMC only matters for the orginal Intel Mac hardware: TPM chip, backlit keyboard. I removed the instructions for updating from under 10.4.4. It did not work. I will have to figure out, what's the cause here. The updating from 10.4.3 works. I have tried several times. However, make sure you make a backup of your system files, like Extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
