Espionage724 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I tried to download the 10.5.6 update on iATKOS 10.5.4 (combo update) and it KP'ed at 18% done installing and when I rebooted the system, it KP'ed again. Hardware: 950GMA Intel Celeron M 420 @ 1.6GHz (single core) (more hardware in sig if needed) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143665-can-i-install-1056-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

iCF-74 ToughMac Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 This isn't a solution exactly .. more of a life boat approach I use for times like this - being fairly new to OSx * When you do your initial partitioning with disk utility, make at least 2 or 3 partitions (if only on the one HDD) * Install you 'latest' OSx86 DVD to the largest partition * Put aside one of the smaller partitions for backups * And I always install Kalyway 10.5.2 (absolutely bombproof on my Toughbook hardware) The reasoning is simple. I my latest and greatest install goes {censored} up after some blunder on my part, I try a couple things: I boot into Kalyway, and take the kexts I backed up there from a time when my other install was running nicely, and I just reinstall them to that 1st partition, correct permissions etc and try logging back in. Worst case scenario I just reinstall. Thankfully 24 hrs ago, for instance, my Kalyway (lifeboat) saved my ass, and allowed me to recover an initially unstable 10.5.6 update. Give yourself a way back into an unstable install .. we can't all be Unix gurus.

Espionage724 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I read up on his method, it said I needed DSDT but I read in other places it wasn't needed?

dawiinci Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Maybe you want to try the iPC 10.5.6 Release. I replaced my iDeneb Installation with this one.
