superfaen Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 "im currently on kalyway 10.5.2, went back from 10.5.3 due to it's buggy nature (orange hdd's, ahci unknown etc). " The orange icons is not a 10.5.3 bug, it's a hacking issue that is easily fixed with AHCIFIX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshunhiro Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It doesn't look like you have to do the dsmos mod with this. Should be safe directly from Software Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I originally did the Beta upgrade, so my systems said they was up to date! But there were many additions to the newer Update, so I re-did it. I only had to add my Wireless card's Id to the BCM4311 kext on my HP to get that working again! All in all the upgrade went smooth on both machines SticMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinnggoff Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 what about 9600gt, did anyone find device id for 96006t at 10.5.4 update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerboy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I also am on Kalyway 10.5.3, however I don't remember which kernel I checked at install time. Is there any way of figuring out what kernel I'm running (whether it's vanilla or a custom one)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I see most people missed this part!? "Download the update installer and run it manually. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. These versions of the standalone installers are available from Apple Support Downloads. The Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update is recommended for all versions of Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.3. The delta update lets you update from Mac OS X 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 The combo update lets you update from Mac OS X 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, or 10.5.3 to 10.5.4" Just thought it might answer more questions?

xbc Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Works on a retail install method, straight from the software update on a GA-P35-D3SL. Sleep broke, but I am blaming Vmware Fusion 1.1.3 on that. Same thing happened on 10.5.3. I had to deinstall and reinstall Vmware 1.1.3, and sleep is working again. I guess it has to do with the virtual net drivers.

qbattersby Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Worked fine here from 10.5.3 (Which AHCI got screwed on and had to be fixed) - directly from software update. Recommended to all vanilla users. PS. Ignore my sig - need to updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poco Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'll try now but I'm backing up using TimeMachine just in case. The last 10.5.3 update showed me the benefit of backing up. It took me a total of 34 hours to install(I forgot to backup). iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbattersby Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 ipoco> I am with you - I used JaS 10.5.3 update and ended up spending about 2 hours to fix - just needed to replace my AHCI kexts due to my crappy mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The main problem for me was the graphics kexts that I had the sense to backup and replace in the end. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alamoa Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 worked almost flawlessly. Was in 10.5.2, upgraded to kaly 10.5.3, lost qe/ci, upgraded to 10.5.4, deleted everything starting with GeForce from /system/library/extensions, reinstalled with NVinstaller_V.41 package. Voila. . overall, seems more stable and an increase in 5 points in the Xbench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckplumber Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Worked flawlessly for me via Software Update. Updated the backup disk first, just to be sure and then the main. Don't notice a difference, but haven't played with it much yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Worked for me. I used the update dmg not the ComboUpdate. There is no editing required just install I think. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
