themerk Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You need to be running PC EFI with vanilla kernel in order to successfully apply the 10.5.1 update through Software Updater. Here's an EFI tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabby Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Is it to late to apply that (in some kind of recovery) or do i have to reinstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You should be able to install the efi patch and all should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabby Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Tried the guide and moved the files over and patched. Still got the same problems. Guess i reinstall since i didnt have any important stuff in the OSX yet and then I'll EFI patch it the right way. Thanks anyway guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabby Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Reinstalled and back, EFI installed. I just found out why the last try on EFI failed. Its a Typo in the guide. When loading the Darvin Bootloader it says that you shall write "kernel.patched -s" its wrong. Its "mach_kernel.patched -s" Anyway... Its sort of working now. When i choose OSX in the bootmenu it starts loading and jumps back to the boot menu. But if i press F8 end add "-v" it works... wierd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
more or less Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I can confirm those boot problems with the 10.5.1 update as well. I first tried to run the BrazilMac postpatcher, and that got back to the HFS+ / cursor error. I then needed to reset the primary boot drive and bless it, and I found this guide EXTREMELY helpful. http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/658/howt...ot-setup-guide/ At first, I had the ToH running okay, but then got this crazy idea to run the patcher on it anyways. There is also a EFI tutorial, bit I am not sure about that just yet. The next stupid thing I am thinking about doing is trying the "vanilla kexts" w/out the EFI patch.... though I might do the EFI patch. I dunno. Its working pretty good and I don't want to bork it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie-The-Phoo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You should be able to install the efi patch and all should be okay. BJMoose , we have similar rigs so I thought you could share some of your experiences . I have managed to update to ver 10.5.1 (using SW update) but when I install iPhoto '08 and try to import my photos's (25,000) over ethernet link to my data store I get the very bad Multilanguage screen telling me to Hit the Power button or reset . I saw some talk on other forums regarding the onboard ethernet NIC of the BADAXE2 ? Do I have to update my Ethernet kext file once I have upgraded to EFI with 10.5.1 ?? Any tips would be fully appreciated . Thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 OFF TOPIC: Just some advice to help typing commands correctly in the bash terminal: to make sure that the syntax of your terminal commands and the names of the files you are using as parameters are correct, use the terminal's auto-complete function (TAB-Key). Simply enter the first few letters of the command or file you want to access, press TAB and osx will auto-complete the word for you. Please notice that if more than one files/commands match your entry, it will auto-complete only the string section that is common to all of the matches. You will notice this behavior when your word is not fully auto-completed as expected. In such cases, press TAB several times and you will be presented with the list of matching results. Try it out, it's delicious! hecker PS: Read a little more about this function, here: http://www.linux.com/articles/54005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
