HMK Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'v been using Tiger full time for almost a year now. Recently I installed Leopard on another partition using Uphuck release (iATKOS). My question is, is there a way to update my Tiger installation using that release or any other one? Going thru the hassle of re-installing all of my applications on a clean Leopard installation is a problem for me and for many others i am sure. Any help/guides will be appreciated.

A-Man Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The easiest way to "upgrade" is to connect your Tiger installation via USB to your working Leopard installation and use Migration Assistant (Applications--->Utilities-->Migration Assistant).

I simply installed Kalyway over my existing installation of XxX Tiger 10.4.10 with Efi 8.0, vanilla kernel and GUID partition scheme. Of course I made a clone installation of my Tiger to an external usb harddrive and before checked, whether i could boot from this external harddrive in the case, i could not boot from internal harddisk. There was one problem: I could not log in into my old account from the Tiger installation. I did delete /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and could create a new user with admin rights. i logged in with the new user, created a new user with my old account name, and with chown to my old home directory i took over my homedirectory again.

HMK Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Okay, I posted this 3 days ago, and was too eager to start the updated experience even before I get the useful hints from you guys, so this what I did in the last 3 days: 1- Using iAKToS 1.0i, I installed Leopard over Tiger with stock kernel and efi. The partition was mbr and kept so. Installation went fine, but when booting I got the kernel panic. I rebooted from another Tiger partition/Installation and fixed the disk which I installed Leopard on. When rebooting the kernel panic didn't happen, instead I was faced with an endless error regarding launchd and directoryService. 2- I installed Leopard on an empty partition and booted just fine, then i copied all the system and essential files (using superDuper) from that to the problematic Leopard update. Didn't help, same endless error. 3- I downloaded Kalyway latest release. Now I was thinking of trying to install from Kalyway over the failed Leopard update. I dont know if I should try Kibitz fix first, it seems that i lost my accounts because of superDuper, I think it overwritten something in the accounts settings because now when i try Migration Assistant from the fresh Leopard installation, it gives me 0 kb to be copied, although it detects the accounts, it doesn't detect the differences, my fault.

HMK Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ok here is the update: 1- I deleted /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and rebooted, but it didnt help, I am still faced with the repeted launchd error about DirectoryService. I dont know what the error really means, but i guess its something to do with the accounts or the journal index? 2- I tried to reinstall from Kalyway's, but after starting the installation (starting the files copying stage) it gave me a msg that the os cant be installed with a restart button. 3- I booted from the partition and tried /sbin/fsck -fy no errors found, then /sbin/mount -uw / followed by /usr/sbin/diskutil repairPermissions / and now i got could not repair permission because an undelying task error 9972. Same happened if i tried to repair permissions when booting from Kayway's. Now I am stuck, any other suggestions is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
