[How To] Upgrading to 10.4.10 using eGWan's easy patcher.

[BCrowie]

This tutorial is for users who want to update their 10.4.4 and 10.4.6 installations to 10.4.10

 

If your on 10.4.8 just skip ahead to Step 5

 

Took me a bunch of installations to get this right.

 

I did this on a Gateway 420GR

 

- Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.93ghz

- Intel 915gl chipset

- 1gb ddr

- Intel GMA 900 64mb

- 160gb - mac, 40gb - windows

 

Step 1 :

First off.... there are a few things to download.

 

1. eGWan's patch (search google: "egwan patch download" look out for japanese characters

)

2. Apple Intel Combo Update 10.4.8

3. Apple Intel Combo Update 10.4.10

4. (only required for Intel GMA 900 users)

Diabolik's Intel GMA 900 Fixer

 

Step 2 :

When those files are downloading... you need to back up your extensions.

 

Enter these commands in the terminal.

 

sudo -s

mkdir /Backup

cp -R /system/library/extensions/* /Backup

 

Step 3 :

After you backup and all downloads are finished run the 10.4.8 updater and DO NOT RESTART. Restarting at that time will ruin your hackintosh installation.

 

When its finished run eGWans patcher. Make sure to customize your installation with whatever kernel you want to use. Attention!! Intel GMA users.... select Intel GMA 950. The GMA 900 package will result in the screen being all blue, black and unusable after boot.

 

After the eGWan patch has completed.... reboot. During boot, it will take a bit longer and it will reboot on its own. Its normal.

 

Step 4 :

When you get into OS X backup your system files one more time. Open the terminal and keep it open during the next process.

 

Step 5 :

Run the 10.4.10 updater AND AGAIN... DONT REBOOT. Run the eGWan patch again selecting the same packages. BUT THIS TIME DONT REBOOT AFTER ITS FINISHED.

 

Step 6 :

We need to replace some kexts or it will result in a kernel panic during boot.

 

Take these kexts from the /Backup we created...

 

1. System.kext

2. AppleACPIPlatform.kext

 

**I would also recommend this process with the IONetworkingFamily.kext. I had problems with my networking when I didnt overwrite this file before I rebooted.

 

Copy those to /System/Library/Extensions/

 

Step 7 :

In the terminal type these commands

 

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext

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

 

do the same commands with the AppleACPIPlatform.kext

 

 

 

 

restart and pray.

 

*****Intel GMA 900 users... after reboot run Diabolik's Intel GMA 900 fixer. Reboot and tada! CI/QE support.

 

Let me know if theres any problems

So far... to upgrade the kernel I've had to do it manually. Im working on a patch of my own that will allow users to upgrade to whichever version of osx they want... 10.4.8, 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 with any kernel they want. Ill post notification when its available.
