Hi

 

Before I start - big thx to Kalyway for the 10.5.1 DVD

 

I've had it running on my Lenovo X60 Tablet and it's stable apart from the odd graphical glitch top left, and no sound, and of course no tablet pen / touchscreen...

 

I just downloaded the 10.5.3 combo updater to go from the original 10.5.1 to 10.5.3

 

I followed the instructions exactly - 1st pkg installed, no reboot

2nd pkg installed

3 - reboot

4 - it then hung at the apple logo with the spinning wheel thing... so I rebooted, F8 and typed "update -v"

 

That all worked fine.

 

Rebooted

 

It booted up got to the blue screen before it normally loads up the desktop and it just sit's there. Funny thing is I think it's actually 'running' - because the MSN Messenger is set to open at login and it kicks me out of messenger on my iMac when the tablet boots...

 

But - no gfx display...

 

Please, can anyone help?

 

i've got the Intel G945 chipset...it all worked before the combo update.

 

Thanks...

Probably not related as I have a vanilla install but... After updating my system to 10.5.3 and replacing/deleting the necessary kext, the system appeared to hang on the blue screen you a referring to. I let it run for 10 minutes or so and then hard reset thinking it was hung. After a few attempts, I gave up and went to bed with the computer stuck on the blue screen. This morning, it had moved to the login screen and allowed me to log in as normal.

Just rebooted now after installing new graphics drivers and it seems to again be very slow at getting past the blue screen...

 

Edit. Turns out this is OT but my problem was indeed graphics driver related. I followed the instructions on this post and all is well again.

I have the exact same problem....

 

I was originally on 10.5.1 Kalyway working fine and tried the 10.5.3 Kalyway update. Installed first package and didn't reboot, installed second package but did not choose a new kernel. I'm wondering whether you updated your kernel or not as I was going to retry and choose the modbin one...

 

Once I reboot with update -v everything seems to come up and then it just sits there at the blue screen... I've waited about 5-10mins and rebooted again but it still stays at the blue screen...

 

Any ideas on this? Should I update my kernel to the vanilla or modbin? The modbin one seems to fit my specs (intel, sse3 etc)...

HiWell I've tried leaving it for hours like the previous poster... nadaWhen I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 I didn't choose ANY of the CUSTOMIZATION options - so I'm assuming it's vanilla...which is why when I installed the kernal package, I told it to use Vanilla rather than the MODxxx kernal...But still - it's not working... Any idea how to flag this to the Mod's / Kaly?HA!Guess what!??My original post was correct! The laptop is running and it's all ok = apart from still on the blue screen.. However because I have an iMac I can use SHARE SCREEN from Finder - and BOOM! I'm into my laptop and the desktop etc is all there!So I have access in! Can see / run everything.......so please anyone? What can I do to get my gfx back?Elphaba

As I said in my original post, it's on the Lenovo X60 Tablet - the Intel G945 chipset

 

When I SCREEN SHARE in then it doesn't seem as if it thinks there is too monitors... I'm thinking it's more a gfx kext that frakked it up... trying to find the leopard gfx update from kaly that was used from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 and maybe they'll fix it...

 

BTW on the Kaly post for 10.5.2 DVD, he mentions doing two commands from the F8 point...1. "mount -uw /"2. "/movevideodrivers"

 

Well, I don't understand his very brief instructions...

 

I've done the first one, and that did something with 4 files...but the 2nd command is gibberish...

 

I've tried "mount -uw /movevideodrivers" but that didn't work as there is no folder or anything in the root called "movevideodrivers" as shown by typing "ls"

 

Any other ideas?

 

However, when Screen Sharing - About my mac shows 10.5.3! lol

 

Also the track point and keyboard is dead where as in 10.5.1 they were working perfectly

This issue must be related to the intel gma945 chipset. I had the same problem (unresolved yet) with the "graphics update" that was available a few months ago and which messed up my working system. It seems that Apple must have included this "graphics update" into their 10.5.3 package. Someone had advised me then to replace all Intel gma950 extensions with a netkas extension, which I still haven't dared trying myself.

The same was for me... I have (had :) ) 10.5.2 Kalyway installed and yesterday downloaded Kalyway 10.5.3 Combo Update.. Tried to install the first package, but the installation didn't terminate remaining in the blue screen... I left the pc on all night to wait for a change, but this morning it was still in that blue screen.... I decided to reset and now what I have is the Apple gray boot screen never going further to allow me to log in... :)

Ok. I've installed Kaly's 10.5.2 and then had to find a seperate kext for audio, but everything is working fine so far - except for the missing transparency selector for the menu bar and of course the tablet / pen / touchscreen ....

 

Hope this helps anyone else.

Just an update on my blue screen situation. I could never get the Kalyway 10.5.3 updater to work for my configuration. I just so happened to come across another 10.5.3 version update:

 

JaS OsX86 10.5.3 Intel SSE3 Combo Update + SMB Fix

 

and tried this one. After running it and rebooting I am now happily in 10.5.3 and all I had to do was install this version of the 10.5.3 update, nothing else (ie: didn't play with replacing kexts etc etc it just worked after reboot)

 

Hopefully this helps someone else

So the graphics update had some strange behaviour, that's true. In my case it switched my first and my second video output port of my ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. Anyway: it worked.

 

In general: it takes 2 reboots (as described also by netkas himself)

In short: after having applied all the necessary steps to update to 10.5.3 (you may also find much more detailed set of instructions on many places on the net - like here).

 

On first reboot it takes up to 4 minutes to reboot again, during this time, my screen was black and didn't indicate anything.

This means on first reboot it does not bring yuo back to your well known and beloved login screen (if enabled) or desktop. Instead it prepares your system for another reboot.

 

On second reboot it takes again some more seconds.

 

I hope that helped anyhow...

All you need is to restore AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext from the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD. This fixes the Display issue. It fixed my Dell Latitude 630 which is Intel GMA 945 display

 

Thank god, that worked! I had a blue screen on my Sony VAIO and that fixed it. Thanks dude!

Great for you! How do I restore this file?

 

I'm going -s at startup to go to root and what do I do next to copy the file from my DVD to my Leopard installation?

 

Please help - I'm tired of watching this stupid blue screen.

 

(I'm a complete newbie, so please write step-by-step tutorial how to do that.... please please please...)

 

Thanks,

Whoever has the blue screen after combo update, just follow what kalyway says in 10.5.2 readme for blank and bluescreen. Your bluescreen issue will disappear for sure.

 

It worked for me. try the commands....mount -vw / an d the rest given in the readme doc.

 

Enjoy :D
