thewierdone2000 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey, I have a successful install of 10.5.2 using iAtkos v2i, I would like to upgrade it to 10.5.3, or even better, 10.5.4. I can install the updates fine following various guides, but because I am installing a vanilla 9.3 kernel it causes panic on boot, resulting in an instant crash. I have tried installing iAtkos with a vanilla 9.2.2 kernel, and it too causes an instacrash, sugesting that it has to do with the kernel not being the nforce patched kernel. I was wondering if there was a patched kernel for 9.3 made to work with nForce chipsets, and if not, how would you sugest getting an update to 10.5.3/10.5.4. Could I use kalyway combo updater, and then not install the kernel in the second part? Am I screwed when it comes to updating to 10.5.4 until someone releases an installer without a new kernel bundled in it, or does 10.5.4 not even use a new kernel? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m82a1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i believe u could use the kalyway combo updater, make a signature so everyone could see ur rig tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Updated sig, can anyone confirm or deny m82a1's advice? AFIK, from having an nForce chipset MOBO myself (nforce 650i), you cannot install a vanilla kernel.....also I am not aware yet of a 9.3.0 kernel modded for nforce.....but checkout http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102 for the Mysticus C* 1.4b 10.5.3 Combo updater which is what I have successfully used to update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3......

Hey, I had tried that before and it errored out during the install (seemed to be in an infinite loop and never progressed), but I will try it again. Did you use a specific kernel or just the one it uses by default? Thanks again for the help! Edit: I tried it again, and it worked! I am now on 10.5.3, which brings me to the question: Can I use software update to get me to 10.5.4, or will it screw with my kernel? Thanks a ton for all the help guys!

m82a1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 it will rewrite the vanilla kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewierdone2000 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Do you think it would work if I forcequit the installer and pasted the current (9.2) kernel over the one it uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you hope to gain by trying to do this right now.......why not wait for a proper 10.5.4 Combo Updater......from Mysticus C* Anyhow if you try, the system and kernel need to be version-matched in order for USB mounting/unmounting to work properly......
