cmdshft Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 How to upgrade ToH RC2 Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.1 on Intel only! 1. Download the Apple Update from the website here 2. Backup your kernel to your desktop: sudo cp /mach_kernel ~/Desktop 3. Go to your extension folder and move any kexts you have customized to your dektop (nvidia kexts, natit, any wireless drivers, etc). Make sure to backup your AppleSMBIOS.kext if you used a custom one for the Adobe CS3 fix. Just drag and drop them to the desktop. 4. Run the update you downloaded. When it says it's finished, don't click anything, just move it to the side and ignore it for now. 5. Now, let's copy back your kernel and kext's: Kernel: sudo cp ~/Desktop/mach_kernel / Kexts: (natit is used as an example) sudo cp ~/Desktop/Natit.kext /System/Library/Extensions Repeat for each kext you copied to the desktop. 6. Time to run a few more commands. Kernel sudo chmod -R 644 /mach_kernel Kexts: (run these on each kext you copied back to the extensions folder, i will use AppleSMBIOS as an example) sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext 7. Go back to the installer, and finish it. Your system will now reboot. If you've done everything as directed, you will now have booted successfully into Mac OS X 10.5.1 8. Congrats, you're done!

MaskHere Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Didn't work for my ASUS W5F notebook. After a new fresh Leo install I followed these instructions and it shows a like desktop blue screen only. No icons, no cursor, nothing... I had no custom kext only that from Leo install. No software installed either. Can be my GMA950 video? It works fine in 10.5.0. Ci/QE ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detosx Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Didn't work for me. Like Maskhere the computer boots into a solid blue screen. I tried plugging in an external monitor but nothing. Laptop HPDV6205US with GMA950. Worked fine (and without Natit) using 10.5.0. Now I can't even boot in using -x safe mode. Any suggestions welcome!

Renard45 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 same problem here i have a blue screen too any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweppes Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I dont use this method. I updated with Pacifist. I check all except kernel. Works perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 I am not sure but it seems that 10.5.1 borks GMA950 support, everyone i talked to about this issue all have that chipset. Offhand i have no idea how you can fix it so i suggest that you dont update if you have GMA950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Jackson Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 You need the intel kexts which can be downloaded here: GMA950.zip Simply replace the existing kexts in /System/Library/Extensions with these and change to the appropriate ownership and permissions with: $sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleIntel* && chmod -R 755 AppleIntel* Finally remove Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext from /Systems/Library/: $sudo rm Extensions.kextcache Extensions.mkext Reboot and that should fix your display.

stasi Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 maybe it's better to backup the IONetworkingFamily.kext, too. After upgrading I had no ethernet network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyemac Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 How do you prevent Pacifist from installing the Kernel (or other files for that matter)? I dont't see any 'check' areas to decide whihc specific files to install within Pacifist. (Pacifist 2.5.1 - latest version). Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackedintosh Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Will the GMA950 package work for my 945GM chipset? I think they are compatible...And how do you copy the files if you can't get Leopard up and running (blue screen)? Can you do it from linux and how?

JorgeJones Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Could this method potentially work with 10.5.2 once it's released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
