Krule Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 You might try the attached kext - backup first!!! No guarantees, but if it works and you're ever in NZ, you can shout me a beer. Good luck. Andy. Great, this .kext worked. Restart and shutdown are behaving as they should. I have yet to test sleep. Not only that it worked, even Geekbench (approx 3600) with it's sniffing methods, now reports my Hackintosh as iMac7.1. Well NZ (if it is New Zeland) is quite far from Bosnia, so it is a slim chance for me to drop by. But if I am ever near by, or you near Sarajevo, be sure that a keg of beer is all yours on my tab. Just send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, New Zealand which is, as you rightly point out, quite some distance from Bosnia. So the beer will be a 'rain check' one. PS: Just did a GeekBench 32 bit (freebie) run... score was 2895.

altidore Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 My "about this mac" no longer works after applying the update. Please... What could i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fly Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Every time I try to install the 10.5.3 Combo update, right when I get the green check makes saying that it has installed successfully, the gray screen comes down and says I need to restart my comp. I run the terminal script form the first post. I have no clue what would cause this stupid error. (I have to reinstall my how Leo install cause when i try to boot back up into mac, the boot loader just loops me back to the beginning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien2xx Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I got the already patched 10.5.3 package from bhast2 (Thanks so much!!), it supposed to be ready, now, do I run it? or I need to install Zeph utility too, just some more info before I go for it... I am running Leo4allv3 Thanks... EDIT:... well, I went ahead and double clicked on the pkg file, it installed, rebooted twice and its up and running, it worked perfectly... no problems so far.... NICE!!!!!!! ... seems to be faster now... everything works, video, sound, etc... Thanks so much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbywan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 ok i updated with kalyway's 10.5.3 combo update... i had to install gma950.pkg to get my video working correctly. my eyes are a little tired from staring at the screen at 1024 x 768 for about 10 min. Thanks to all particularly kalyway. I'm right where you're at, stuck at 1024x768 QE/CI enabled and everything else works. Can you tell me how to get this gma950.pkg so that i can change resolutions again please? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solow Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Updated my Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 using the Kaly updater found on "the bay". It worked perfectly as I opted to replace my 5.2 vanilla kernel with the newer 5.3 vanilla kernel. Of course Nvinject video lost QI and QE even though the resolution remained correct for my 19" wide monitor at 1440 x 900. I tried to install the latest nvinject 0.2.1 after deleting the old nvinject.kext, deleting the extensions.mkext, repairing permissions, logging out and back in, etc. Didn't work for me. I didn't try the Pacifist method however as explained a few pages earlier in this thread. Being lazy I googled "natit" and found this link http://tinyurl.com/yaswdx where I used the included installer and installed Natit successfully restoring my QE, QI, to full glory. All is well running 10.5.3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puppetj Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 10.5.2 update guide didnt work for me, after reboot i get endless rebooting. btw whats dsmos.kext? are you suppose to have it, i never did, so now what? can i fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"dsmos.kext" is used instead of Apples "Don't Steal Mac OS.kext" to allow your PC to fool OS X into thinking it is running on a real Intel Mac. Yes you do need this file! If you search these forums you should be able to find a solution to your update problem. My guess is that you did something wrong during the update (likely not correctly running that script that constantly deletes a file the updater tries to write to your drive). I think you have to start in single user mode to fix the problem but do a search of the forum to get the proper explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estebanrao Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 yes alien, I downloaded the patch from the bay and create one with the app just in case and the two of them where the same so.... Really works... I applied mobdin kernel that works (without sleep support) Can y use Vainilla kernel? or would it be worst? (AMD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

build Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Guys, Quick one. I've done everything fine. I have not rebooted yet, and I'm trying to install my old kexts. For some reason it will not accept my root password. I've even tried kext helper. Anyone know why? didn't do this with 10.5.2? *update Could not find a reason for it not accepting my root password (I use it all the time). In the end, I rebooted and used my secondary 10.5 install to access the drive and replace the kexts. Edited my NVinject info.plist with a 0 like below to get CI/QE back. <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>0</integer> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you would already have had dsmos.kext installed on your Hackintosh in System/Library/Extensions. If not then I don't know why you would try using an update to 10.5.3 using this method. I found a torrent for one of the many update installers out there on the bay etc. Kalyway, Jas, and others have them available. Perhaps you would be better off to grab one of them and try it out. But first you need to be able to boot up somehow. Starting in single user mode might get you somewhere but perhaps not. You could try to grab another hard drive and install Leopard on it temporarily to be able to access the broken install. That way you can copy dsmos.kext from it to your broken install and perhaps figure out how to fix it. Since you gave few details it is impossible to tell you how to fix much of anything though. Try to tell us what the details of your machine, operating system, and actions are. Maybe someone can really help out in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you could boot up off the Kalyway Leopard install disc and try restoring your backed up system using disc utility. I have never done that but it might just work for you. If you are running an AMD processor you might have r3d3.kext instead of dsmos.kext in your System/Library/Extensions folder. It has the same function only for AMD versus Intel processors. Regardless if you are able to restore your old 10.5.2 wait and do more research before attempting to upgrade it to 10.5.3 next time. Be sure you know which method to use for your hardware (especially if you have an AMD processor). It is always wise to have a second hard drive with a cloned system on it that is bootable. Use carboncopycloner, tri-backup, etc to do that. Then you can safely experiment on it with updates and mods without screwing up your main system. Hard drives are very inexpensive versus how much time and worry it takes to repair a system that gets broken by an update etc. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
