10.5.2 kalyway to 10.5.6 with Asus P5W DH Deluxe

[Reaktor]

Hi

 

I have been running Kalyway 10.5.2 since it's release and I have been very happy with it!

But iWork 09 has come out, and in the end of this month, iLife 09 comes out too, and they require 10.5.6 -- time to update in other words

 

This is my setup:

 

Motherboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E660 (@2.8Ghz)

Graphics: nVidia Geforce 8800GT (G92, 512MB)

6 GB of RAM (2x1GB + 2x2GB) @ 800 MHz and a couple of hard drives

 

My road to 10.5.6

First, I'm in need of windows for gaming, so I'll partition my main drive in 2.

First partition for XP, second for Leopard. After installing XP on the first

partition, I start on Leopard

 

-- Installation of Kalyway 10.5.2 --

This one is pretty straight forward, I let the computer boot up with the

kalyway disc, start Disk Utility and format the second partition to HFS+ (Journaled)

I then install Leopard to that partition with vanilla kernel

 

I do not care about audio or video drivers in this step, but I do care about networking,

so I install all the network drivers (altough I really only need one)

 

after installation, the system reboots and takes you to account setup

and network setup and so forth - after that you are on the desktop

 

One nice feature you get when you install windows first and leopard after, is that

you get OS X boot menu at boot, which makes it easy to choose operating system.

 

-- Installation of Kalyway_10.5.3_ComboUpdate --

Start with Kalyway_UpdCombo10.5.3.pkg

When it's finished, do not reboot - install kalyway_10.5.3_kernel.pkg

reboot.

 

At boot menu, enter "update -v" and press enter, after a while, you will be

at the desktop with Leopard 10.5.3 installed

 

============================

 

Okay, this is as far as I have gotten today, I tried to go up to 10.5.5 with

apples unmodified MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.5.dmg, by following this guide:

but no luck, the system didn't load after that.

 

Anyone with Asus P5W DH Deluxe who would like to help?

I have nearly the same system on a P5wDH

 

Here's my guide plagarized from various sources but works great.

 

Kalyway 10.5.2 EFI V8

updated to 10.5.4 with downloaded delta update from apple (not combo)

2. Mount DMG

6. Type 'su root' and enter your password

7. Type 'while sleep 1 ; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ; done' (the terminal window should just 'freeze' (it's processing a loop))

8. Run the updater (MacOSXUpd10.5.5.pkg) from the volume you mounted earlier. When it completes do NOT restart

9. Switch back to the Terminal window

10. Press Ctrl-C
