likeatiger Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi, As per title, I've update dto 10.5.3 and now my system gets stuck booting just after the firewire loads. I'm running PC-EFI v8. Where am I supposed to be running this 'update -v' command and if it's from the boot loader, how do I do this without the Darwin bootloader or do I need to update boot.plist? thanks!

Where am I supposed to be running this 'update -v' command and if it's from the boot loader, how do I do this without the Darwin bootloader or do I need to update boot.plist? thanks! I struggled a bit with this upgrade. I had a fully-working Kalyway 10.5.2, but needed to upgrade to 10.5.3 for the Brother printer drivers. Anyway, after installation the Darwin bootloader shows up and you hit f8 for options. Then type update -v and it goes thru all the boot info stuff, and then it restarts and you should then be able to boot normally (without the update -v)... Did you remember to install your choice of vanilla or modbin before you restarted, as per the instructions? Also, make sure you perform the update on the os that is currently booted - that seemed to work better for me. If you're still having problems with boot, try using osx86 tools utility to install a different bootloader (I use the Chameleon and it works great). It's really handy for installing bootloaders, but does a bunch of other things (repair permissions, enable Quartz, all kinds of stuff).... Here's a link: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=104754 If you happen to have the Intel GMA X3100 video, let me know. I have an easy fix for that....

Garry R Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I was running Kalyway 10.5.2 perfectly last night, then downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.3 Combo Update needed for the iPhone SDK and installed it as per the instructions.... ... it now wont boot unaided... i have to type update -v every time i want to boot it I'm scared to do the 10.5.4 update now just in case Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115147-how-to-update-v-with-kalyway-1053/#findComment-848073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 "update" is not a command. It is an intermediate kernel in Kalyway Combo update which it needs for to boot for the first time after the update. Once it is done the combo update package comes with other kernels from which you have to chose one suitable for your setup. Vanilla 9.3 is best if you are running Intel Core2 CPUs if not modbin patched 9.3 is suitable. 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 update is straight forward Apple Software update, if you are on Core2 CPU. If on any other CPU you can use Zephyroth's ASU to update.

I'll use pcwiz's OSx86 tools to try and replace the kernel with one from the combo update... i'm very very new to this so bear with me I'm not Core2, i'm Intel P4 2.66GHz... so do you think i'll be ok on Apple Software Update?

nickhe Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 you cant use 10.5.3 becosue your is sse2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115147-how-to-update-v-with-kalyway-1053/#findComment-848245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry R Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 UPDATE - I ran the 10.5.4 from Apple Update and it worked fine. To recap: i'm running a P4 2.8Hz - installed 10.5.2 Kalyway, then did the combo update by Kalyway to 10.5.3.... then Apple Update All good. (I still have to do update -v though every time i boot up, hoping that pcwiz's OSx86 Tools will help me install a new Kernel though to fix that) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115147-how-to-update-v-with-kalyway-1053/#findComment-849178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You need to get modbin patched 9.4.0 Kernel which is suitable for your CPU and install using osxtools Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115147-how-to-update-v-with-kalyway-1053/#findComment-850243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitya Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi! I also tried Kalyway 10.5.3 combo update package (Demonoid) as written. Everything was smooth and without any problem. But only one problem: As I pull down the menus, everything is white and no letter can be seen, only for a fast flashes as I click on the "white". Do you have any suggestion? QE/CI is checked and is supported. I have Intel E8200, Gigabyte PA DS3R rev 2.1, Ati HD3650. Any help appreciated!

ender81 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I also had to run "update -v" every time after I updated from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3. Then I found out that update was not a command, it was the name of the kernel. So there were 2 solutions: 1: modify the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist using the commands: sudo -s nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist You will get a file that looks like this: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$ <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> </dict> </plist> Replace the line <string>mach_kernel</string> with <string>update</string> and save the document. 2: Make a backup of the used kernel and then rename the update kernel as the old one using the commands: sudo cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.bak sudo cp /update /mach_kernel You can select the old kernel any time entering mach_kernel.bak at boot.

Beerkex'd Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 As I remember it, the Kalyway 10.5.3 update came with a separate installer package that had several kernels in it. Just use that package to install an appropriate kernel for your hardware. IIRC the idea was to first install the update - without rebooting - and then install a kernel from the kernel package. Then reboot with update -v and then on the following reboot the system would boot with the kernel you had installed. For anyone that has the same "problem" as the OP, just tap F8 after your PC finishes POSTing. This will land you at the Darwin boot prompt.
