Cebb Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I first tried installing OSx on one of my computers probably about 2 years ago and have come back and poked around at it a few times since. But this weekend I sat down and was determined to do the job. IAtkos 10.6.3 wouldn't install to my disapointment. But I dug up an old Kalyway 10.5.2 cd I had kicking around and sure enough got everything up and running with a vanilla kernel. Sleep, sound, networking, video... can't complain. Well.. except for the lack of support for newer Safari browsers and iLife. So here I am, looking for guidance. I understand the Vanilla Kernel should allow me to use Apple updates, however, when I try and do the software update, it makes it about 1/3 into the install and tells me the computer needs to be rebooted. And then it won't boot, giving me the same pop-up window a few seconds into the boot process that my system needs to be shut-down. Can somebody point me to a good guide on upgrading Kalyway with a vanilla kernel? Is there another 10.6 I may want to try installing? Or should I just be happy to have 10.5.2 and accept my station in the world?

Unrealized^ Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do you have a AMD or Intel CPU? I personally have AMD and I use a boot cd in order to boot after updating the OS.

dothacker Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yes, there's another snow leopard you haven't tried... it's called RETAIL install. updating 10.5.2 to 10.5.8 will have quite some work, including some terminal use. Google for the steps on how to do it.

Cebb Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do you have a AMD or Intel CPU? I personally have AMD and I use a boot cd in order to boot after updating the OS. It's an intel core 2 duo. It looks like it 'should' work. I was just wondering if I was missing an important step before running the upgrade.
