whizkid515 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have a fully working install of iPC 10.5.6 (PPF1&PPF2) on my Gateway 500XL. Since this uses a Pentium 4, I have the voodoo 9.5.0 kernel installed. I want to make my install as vanilla as possible. I have Chameleon RC2 installed. What exactly should I do so my install doesn't get nuked if I update to 10.5.8? I know about the Extras directory, but I don't know exactly what kexts to put in there, or where the kernel goes, etc. Specs: Pentium 4 2.6 Northwood (no sse3) 80 GB IDE Hard Drive (I don't think it's on a JMicron controller, but I have the kext anyway) GeForce 5200 FX AGP (I used NVKush Complete) Some AC97-based codec (AppleAC97Audio.kext) SoundBlaster Audigy (kxaudio) Voodoo 9.5.0 VoodooUSBEHCI for sleep ApplePS2Controller.kext Thanks!

whizkid515 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 First-- Do you have a backup?2nd-- I did the upgrades & re-ran the IPC installer with the options picked when doing the install, except for the base system. I hope you understand that. BUT if you have anything you can't afford to lose that is not backed up............. I have installed a few kexts that were not on the iPC install disk. I'm just wondering if I can put stuff in the extras directory and have it work more like a boot-132 install (i.e. updates work fine).
