chrono807 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm running iATKOS 4i on an MSI 975x Platinum. I'm using EFI, and everything literally worked out of the box - including audio and LAN. My SATA controller is in IDE mode (couldn't get this board working in AHCI mode for some reason). I have three hard drives, all MBR (not IDE). I'm running the vanilla kernel on a Core 2. What software updates can I safely do? Which ones should I avoid? The point upgrades (like when 10.5.5 comes out) are what scares me, because to be perfectly honest, now that my computer's working, I don't really want to get stuck reinstalling again. However, I know that sometimes the security updates patch the kernel as well, which theoretically shouldn't be a problem, right? Additional info - before I began installing my software, I did run every single software update, including a security update, with no problems. The install disc already had the latest 10.5.4, so it didn't do any point upgrades. Thanks in advance!

chrono807 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm running the vanilla kernel, but I noticed some of the posts on the forum mention that USB support is killed by Apple's point updates. I've been out of the game too long - iATKOS 10.5.1 worked TOO well on my old non-EFI system so I didn't bother with any of the updates until I upgraded the system. When I replaced the board I did a full reinstall with iATKOS 4i.
