verdant Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 in the link to the pre update and update in bike town it says Archive1.1.3a and isn't the latest 1.1.4 ?? Everything updated now in this thread....... Thanks,As I said this is better then no reply at all..... But it is not every day I'm called stupid.....but If the shoe fits right? I'm the network /IT on-call (for the company I work for) this week. Since I have a lot of needy folks out there, I am a little sleep deprived. And when you get around 50 it takes a lot out of you….. Like thinking.... As you say the time to worry is when you do not even get a reply......I understand both sides but as time goes on I understand Mysticuc C*'s frustration even more, as I encounter the same issues in many posts as he does......... Further to Mysticus C* suggestion......if you have the HDD space, you may consider doing what I have done, which is to set up a small 10GB OS X volume as the first partition on my OSX HDD, onto which I installed a basic Kalyway 10.5.2 OS X system, with cpus=1 and maxmem=2048 in com.apple.Boot.plist, as my OS X HDD boot volume. It acts as the bootloader, system cloner, large file transferrer via LAN/Firewire etc. for the Main and Test OS X volumes in the 2nd and 3rd partitions on the OS X HDD......I can then mess around with the Main and Test OS X system and if they brick I can still sort things out as the HDD bootloader on my 10GB OS X Boot volume is never at risk.......

22HERTZ Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Im not sure what else there is to tell. I downloaded pre/post and combo-update, put them on my desk top, ran pre, ran update, and at about 97% of update being done it crashed and I was forced to restart.

Mysticus C* Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 BIKE TOWN LINK IS UPDATED TO MY NEW SITE NOW, SO NO MORE PMs!!! (also I am quite fed up with people who keep messagig that there is no link in the website... you guys are total morons... just fncking learn to click on menus! and read the titles in the menus) Stephen: right size of shoe only fits the right people i only told u to learn to do the clone guide... if you are a clever it guy, u will try what i suggested, and once u start using it, u will see how valuable that simple clone guide is, and u ll see how much countless of hours of pain it will save u from... 22hz: put your hardware specs in your signature so we dont need to go back and forth... try booting as verdant suggested: -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048 and do the update, but before that i suggested to learn cloning... before you guys keep complaining after every other trial, just learn to do the clone guide, and u ll see how important it is to learn that and how valuable it is..

Beerkex'd Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 installed 10.5.5 update, now i cant get sound to work, if i press some "media" key the keyboard stop working. Also rebot/shutdown doesnt work. Try the StageXNU 9.4.0 kernel to fix your shutdown/reboot issues. I'm not sure, I think you can run the updater again and select only the kernel. Or you can use Pacifist to extract the kernel and matching system.kext 9.4.0 from the package. Use OSX86Tools to install the kernel and system.kext. Find Pacifist and OSX86Tools with Google. What keyboard do you have, and is it PS2 or USB? (Try to understand that saying "the keyboard stop working" is not enough information for anyone to help you). Apple keyboards don't have "media keys" (well, they have volume and eject buttons but that's not what you meant). Go to the manufacturers website and see if they have any drivers or software for your keyboard. For example, if you have a Logitech keyboard, download and install the Logitech Control Center software for OSX.

linkdead13 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ok here goes: Steps I took to try and update Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 Firstly Specs: Processor: Intel p4 3.5 GHz Mobo: Asus P5ND2-Sli N Nvidia Nforce Chipset Hard Drive : IDE Maxtor 40g mem: 4x 1g ddr2 Video: Nvidia Gforce 6600x pci express Next Kalway install option Fonts:Unchecked Lang Trans: Unchecked Kernel: 9.2 sleep Gfx: Unchecked Audio: Defaults Network: Added ralink 2500 chipset under wifi Mobo: All Third Party: Unchecked iphoto Patches: Time Machine Fix All is well with the Install Lastly Updating Downloaded the 10.5.5 Combo update from Apple Downloaded the 1.4 archive with a little luck from Mysticus Extracted both to desktop rebooted hit f8 for command prompt loaded -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048 (loaded to Desktop)( though was wondering because the prescott is not dual core, but you said try it with nforce chipset so that i did) Double clicked the Pre Patch (installed ok) Double clicked the combo update when the combo update finalized everything locked up no mouse no keyboard and it forced me to restart before applying the post patch any ideas? and sorry i was so very vague last night I spend the day trolling the internet trying to find a solve. Thank Anyone and Everyone ahead of time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109102-complete-updates-for-newbies-and-all-currently-1055-combo-only-intel-cpus/page/66/#findComment-935464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-K Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 So, installed like your said on Test-Partition (Run Prepare for Combo Update, Official 10.5.5 Combo Update, and Post Combo Update Patch (choosed GMAX3100 Laptop, XNU 9.4, and Ps2, the rest restore) and rebooted). Now, it goes to spinning Apple and...black screen, reboot...goes again to spinning apple, mouse appears, spinning Apple freezes...but the mouse can still move...and I'm staying there. Tried it three times, the spinning Apple freezes always... EDIT: Booted with -v, only the Power Management couldn't be loaded, the Rest seems to be ok...and now, the funny Part: Also here the mouse appears, but I'm staying in the Verbose-Mode..looks funny . Mysticus, what do you think about this? So, my luck that I tested this on the Test-Partition . Again, this doesn't worked for me, but I'm shure that it worked for others, so thanks Mysticus for the great Work you're doing here!!!

Mysticus C* Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 linkdead: than forfeedback... do you have clone partition as per in my guide in first post?... if not, please take the time to have a propar structure with the clone guide... once done? clone your main working (10.5.2 kalyway installed partition) to test partition... when cloning done, dont restart, just install the updates as in the guide, but this time, make sure you choose the test partition as installation location... got it? let it finish the update... dont worry about freezing... (this is to track down the driver that is causing this issue)... when the freeze occurs... reboot, and at start press f8, and choose the test partition, use -v to track down the panic message, when you see the panic, get screen cap of it... we will figure out which driver causing the issue... my guess is either applehwsensor, or appleefi driver... it cant be nvidia drivers because normal drivers are already loaded so they ll cause panic in next start up... but thats not an issue since you will boot to main again and do the last part (post patch) and can remove the trouble drivers manually which will do the trick hopefully... wanna help to track down these {censored} drivers? that is responsible for some of the nforce mobo issues... if you help me track this down, u ll also help others by doing so...

jowuo Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 jowuo: was your sound card working before the update? is your sound card listed in the ALC list in the update? what is the fncking chipset on your mobo!!! sorry... my specs are now in signature. sound was working using 10.5.4 and the sonotone dell pack. (sigmatel 9288) any clue? Try the StageXNU 9.4.0 kernel to fix your shutdown/reboot issues. I'm not sure, I think you can run the updater again and select only the kernel.

SnoopKatt Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have a couple questions: 1. I'm at 10.5.2 Kalyway, and I didn't install the Vanilla kernel. Can I install it with this update? 2. This seems like a lot could go wrong for such a small update. What does the update actually do and is it worth it?

The Vietnamese love Mac Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi Mysticus C* I can't update to 10.5.5 though I strictly follow your instruction. With 1.1.2 Patch, I could finish all the updates and installations but the computer could not boot (showing problems with vga). As soon as I finish customising the Post-Patch with 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 Patches, and starting the installtion, the installer shows an error dialogue saying "The installer could not write the receipt to..." This really discourages me because I have tried all available methods to update my system to the 10.5.5, and none of them works for me. Yours is my last hope, which now is also hopeless.

Mine is an Asus laptop (V1jp) currently running Leo4All 10.5.2 (updated using Kalaway 10.5.2 from Leo4All 10.5.1). The video card is ATI x1700. When I used your 1.1.2 patch, I got the "vga failed" error message. You just mentioned me to use ATI 1950 but it didn't work, either. The 1.1.3/1.1.4 patches, as you know, give "The installer could not write the receipt...".
