Worked fine

 

Things I did to have a working system.

 

Backed up and reinstalled my ATIRNDRV.kext to have a working FB for my 3650

Replaced SPPlatformReporter.spreporter to fix "there was an error blablabla" in System Profiler

Reinstalled my Audio driver using OSX86Tools and its online database ... I am getting lazy after 4 years lol.

 

Thats it, specs in sig.

I did couple days ago via System Update from Apple right after I finish installed 10.5.6 retail version on My ASUS P5Q + Q8200 + GeForce 94000GT/512 everything work fine accept my 9400GT seem to be running very slow and I still have no idea how to fix it.... 'cause I looked up in system profiler it detects my graphic in a funny way "Chipset Model: I Can Has Model?" but "ROM Revision: nVidia GeForce 9400 GT OpenGL Engine [EFI]" sadly I can't open the DVD Player it just saying "A valid device could not be found for playback. [-70017]".....>> anyone had this problem and got it fixed?

I just updated my iPC 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 via Software Update. Absolutely no issues thus far. I did however reinstall my 3 audio kexts using kext helper. I'm not sure if I had to do this because I forgot to turn back on my onboard sound in the bios. I have been using XP alot lately.

 

I did have to use the -v -f flags at the Darwin bootloader for the first time to make it work.

 

I recommend backing up your kexts with OSXtools and doing a TM backup. I didn't need to but it was reassuring.

Updating from 10.5.6 went well.

 

Only had to make a new LegacyAppleYukon2.plist because of the new Yukon2 driver in 10.5.7, and I'm getting sound assertion errors on boot now that I didn't get in 10.5.6. Sound works fine though.

 

Running full vanilla retail 10.5.7 with all modifications (just a few - mainly sound and LAN) loaded from EFI partition via Chameleon 2.0 RC1.

 

As an added bonus I got shutdown and full cold boot ability back. Haven't had that since 10.5.5.

Your link is wrong. I used it to reply to your post.

 

"I Can Has Model" is from Diabolik's NVKush injector, it shows that message in lolcatspeak when it doesn't recognize your video card.

 

Try another injector or an EFI Device Property String - or open info.plist inside NVKush.kext and put your video cards device ID in it.

Updating to 10.5.6 via the software update worked fine for me, I just had to reinstall my audio kext.

 

As for video problems, I'd suggest going the EFI route, just make sure you have up to date utilities/A good/up to date version of EFI Studio as the original doesn't have that many cards/doesn't work for a lot of the ones it does have. I think 1.1 is the last version, the modified one off of the iPC 10.5.6 disk has even more devices.

There's also a bunch of Device Property Strings available in OSX86Tools.

 

However, Device Property Strings are not necessarily better than injectors. Both do the same thing and achieve the same end result.

 

It's also possible to insert your video card directly into the DSDT table, but this only works if the card's device ID is already present in OSX' Nvidia extensions. Unless you modify them of course but then you might as well use an injector or a Device Properties String.
