Pandion Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi all, currently downloading new 10.5.5 update to my Kalyway install 10.5.2 and was wondering if this will mess it up if i proceed with the install once it is downloaded? Will it mess up my Kalyway 10.5.2 installation please? This is the official download from Apple, not a new Kalyway update by the way.

Lanceomni Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If you are running an AMD processor then there are several options. I found Zephiroth's ASU the easiest for me. I have listed the steps I took but I am sure that others will chime in with other methods. Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 1. Kalyway 10.5.2. Install. 2. Replaced the kernel with Voodoo's kernel 9.5 3. Replaced the System.kext with Vanilla System.kext 9.5 4. Used Zephiroth's ASU 0.5 with the "Modify Only" box checked to download and patch the 10.5.5 Combo update. (Checking the box will download and patch but not install the update. I did this so that I could manually inspect the update to make sure it had been patched. You dont really need to do this) 5. Created a backup image of my drive (See below) 6. Installed the update and restarted. Backing up your system I would highly recomend backing up the drive/partition which you have leopard on. In my case I have two drives of equal size and I keep my backup on it. Here is how I did it although others may have a better method. 1. Boot the Kalyway install disk. 2. Go to Disk Utility and click your Leopard partition and select unmount 3. Go to File/New/Disk image from "Yourleopardpartion" 4. Select the second drive/partition to be used in the backup. 5. Click save. I changed compressed to read only as Im not worried about how much space I use and I figured it would take less time. Now what you have is an exact image that you can fall back on if you mess something up. Likewise you can mount this image if you need something that was on the old drive. Backing up your extensions I would back everything in your System/Library/Extensions just in case something happens. I just used the above method and pulled files from the image I created. +++ Like I said before there are several other methods to update but I found this the easiest for me. You also may not have to update the kernel. I had an issue using updating without doing this first but I can not say if the problem was related to this or something else.

Pandion Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Are you running AMD or Intel? I apologize, I am running Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 (but used the core=1 patch at install, as well as had to do the /movevideodrivers to get the install to work on my Acer M5630 as I was hearing the post loadout welcome, but screen was black. Also my video card is a Radeon X1900 PCI-E but it wont recognize it and I default to a 1024x768 resolution not the native of 1290x1024. The actual videocard itself is a FireStream 9250 1 GIG DDR3, but at the moment I am using the X1900 drivers until the new 8.12 Catalyst becomes available later this month from ATi.

IC well I dont have much experience with updating on Intel.
