[factory]

Hi,

After trying diferent ways to make the update possible I give you the steps to make it happen simply.

 

TAKING THE OS TO 10.4.9

--------------------------------

 

1) Run Software Update and install all but Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.9

 

2) Download kernel, go to irc channel #1049 at irc.osx86.hu

Read topic, choose sse3 or sse2 kernel, depends on your cpu

 

5) Go to the terminal and log as root

sudo -s (then enter your password)

 

6) Backup your Extensions folder

cp -r /System/Library/Extensions /1048

 

7) Backup your current kernel

cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old

 

8) Install update MacOSXUpd10.4.9Intel.pkg

For INTEL download from http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...dateintel.html

For AMD extract from 1049_AMD_DELTA.zip

DO NOT PRESS RESTART BUTTON AFTER IT!!!

 

9) Replace kernel with one downloaded before

cp /where you unpack/mach_kernel /mach_kernel

 

10) Recover AppleSMBios.kext from the one backuped before

cp -r /1048/AppleSMBios.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

 

11) Delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext if it found

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

 

12) ONLY FOR AMD Users...

Recover AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the one backuped before

cp -r /1048/AppleACPIPlatform.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

 

13) Repair kexts permissions

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

 

14) Delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

15) To avoid diskarb errors make the following

rm /etc/rc.installer_cleanup

 

16) Reboot

 

17) To test the update use: uname -a

 

Notes:

* If you have problems with loginwindow, apply this patch 10.4.4.loginwindow.pkg

* If you have problems sharing files, apply this patch MPIP103_10.4.9.SMB.CIFS.APF.FIX.dmg

 

 

APPLYING SECURITY UPDATE 2007-005

------------------------------------------------

 

1) Download the patched versions of some files and unzip into /patch

[REMOVED]

 

2) Run Software Update and install all the updates

 

3) Boot in single mode

At the system start use -s

 

4) Mount the file system with read/write rights

/sbin/mount -uw /

 

5) sh /patch/patch.txt

 

 

That's all.. after all of these step you have an updated system!
