AMD SSE2 w/10.4.8 Semthex 8.8.1 Beta9

[(pMr)dEATHiNjUNE]

for those of you running an SSE2 based AMD system whom are not looking to flatline their existing installation and all upon it just to get upto the 8.8.1 kernel this may or may not be a solution for you but it worked for me:

 

working installation of 10.4.4/5/6/7 (AMD)

JaS 10.4.8 AMD SSE2 Combo Update

JaS 10.4.8 AMD SSE2 SemtheX Beta9 pkg

 

1. had a working installation of the AMD Goatsecx 10.4.6 w/10.4.7 AMD Update and JaS's 10.4.8 AMD SSE2 Combo Update (kernel version 8.4.1) applied and everything working short of my Ricoh PCMCIA cardbus

2. through a Terminal performed the following:

sudo -s

mkdir /exts_backup (or whatever you wish to call it)

cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext /exts_backup/

cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext /exts_backup/

3. installed JaS 10.4.8 AMD SSE2 w/SemtheX Beta9 pkg

4. back in Terminal performed the following:

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCCardFamily.kext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

cp -R /exts_backup/*.* /System/Library/Extensions/

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext*

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext*

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext*

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext*

5. repaired Disk Permissions through Disk Utility

6. back in Terminal performed the following:

update_prebinding -root / -force

reboot

7. restarted

 

so far everything works like a charm. am making an image of this environment before i take another stab at installing the Security Update 2006-007 (Intel) update and posting some screenshots. hope this gets someone else somewhere.
