Konami® Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 all these updates that you see in your software updates are safe to install, however when is about to upgrade from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 make sure you do it with backups and with current guides that is in the forum. Even if it safe, is not 100% guarantee that will work updating from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 thought software update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyster Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I can confirm that it is NOT save to update from Iatkos 10.5.4 -> 10.5.6. The "push the power button" message is showing up. Make sure you make a backup of your adored files before you update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ve got iatkos 10.5.5 on my AcerAspireOne - working best! But I would like to know for sure that there is not a problem with 10.5.6 - because my grandfather told me: "Boy, never change a running system"!

Antonio Max Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Upgrading iAtkos i5 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 went successfully trough system update, but lost all usb too (strange thing is that both keyboard and mice are usb, and both work fine, but when a pen-drive or something is attached none of them work (fine at 10.5.5)) Any clues on updating with USB support to 10.5.6 using iatkos 10.5.5? Also have tried to replace updated system.kext with the 10.5.5 version in library/temp and that caused a 'push power button' crash. Any help? Thanks!!

Beerkex'd Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Gentlemen, I believe this is what you're looking for: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117029 Slice's IOPCIFamily.kext caused a kernel panic on my hack. Be sure to keep a backup of your existing one before trying out his. Also make sure that kernel and system.kext versions match. You can see version info in System Profiler.

Antonio Max Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks Beerkex'd, but i have figured out how to make it here. First time ive installed vodoo kernel and then replacing 10.5.6 system.kext with the system 9.5.kext got me a `press power button` screen with no restore at all. Second time ive managed to install with the vanilla kernel (no kernel selected) and removepowermanagement, disabler, all sata things and a bunch of other iatkos 5i dvd options and all went just fine, all usb working and time machine was ok. Updated to 10.5.6 using a downloaded comboupdate from apple, all went just fine this time, got all usbs working and the system is stable atm, but timemachine wont work anymore since the error about not finding the network drive is there and i have no idea on how to fix it (any tips???) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam253 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 is it possible to update iatkos 5i if you have the chameleon bootloader? i think i may have this because when i turn on my computer it tells me its chameleon at the top before it boots into the apple logo im not very knowledgeable on this type of thing, although id love to know if i can update. i dont wanna mess up my hack as i have everything working, right down to quartz extreme. i need to be certain before i update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Max Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 AFAIK you cannot update using system update if you are not using vanilla kernel. (am I wrong ppl?) I've been there before and got my osx crashed. Maybe you could try to use the update method described by others using all that highly nerdy stuff. Do a search for 10.5.6 update released, is something about DFI or something like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Max Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 As stated here: http://iatkos.wikidot.com/preparing-an-upgradable-system "It is better to use the stock kernel. If any custom kernel is selected then you will need to replace the System.kext with the one in /Library/Temp after applying the update." Thats the reason why I reinstalled leopard using no kernel selected, so this scary replace thing wont hit me Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow t. robot Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 i updated to 10.5.6 from an iATKOS v5i install on a vanilla kernel with no problems other than loss of usb, however as i have atheros ar5007eg wireless and a GMA 4500m there wasnt that much working that it could break...overall however it seems to be safe as long as this usb dosnt prove to be too hard to restore...

vassalle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I too upgraded from iatkos v5i and lost my usb. installing slice's usb 2.0 kexts for leapord did the trick for me. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow t. robot Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 thanks for saving me some time vassalle... slices kext fixed my usb as well... just kexthelper install and reboot then usb was back, which says to me at least 10.5.6 update is safe from iAtkos v5i since even some real macs seem to lose usb, among other things.... ...it is nice to be able to use my external hard drive and see my blackberry again though....
