Zephyroth's AMD Software Update in Public Testing

I just used the 0.5 version to update to 10.5.3. Then I installed the 9.3 kernel.pkg and restarted. This is the first time that i was able to successfully update my AMD computer with out reinstalling.

pookeye, you didn't search at the right place then. :-)

I'm having issues with the updater and installing 10.5.3 at this time.

Have a post over at: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry800358

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a kalyway 10.5.2 and I used ASU (0.5) to upgrade it to 10.5.4. I ran the update combo package manually and was able to upgrade it. I had issues with graphics (8600 GT - nvidia). I used the nvisntaller.v.52.pkg. I had save my video kext earlier and after installing the package copied it back to the system/library/extensions to get hardware accelerated graphics.

Works like a charm - The ASU is a life saver

How are you running the combo update manually? I watch the download proceed then the file gets moved to a "temporary" area or so it says. From there, the extraction process starts and then promptly locks up. I'm thinking that my machine may update successfully if I perform the steps manually.

Let me know on this when you have a moment. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue as Joege... 10.5.2 Zephyroth installed and once the pkg is downloaded, the updater says "Moving packages to temporary folder" and never moves an inch past that.

Any instructions on manual install or other suggestions would be great.

Link to the pic of the issue in question. Of course this was for the 10.5.3 update, but the same exact thing is happening for 10.5.4.

Hi buddies,

This is not exactly the right place for support regarding Zephyroth's AMD Software updater.

Thank you Puttabong! Exactly what I needed.

hi!!!

can somebody help me? ASU beta5 and enter my password (root) and showme this error: AppleScript Error sh: -c: line 12: syntax error: unexpected end of file (2) .I can´t continue.....

I just have to say, what a amazing piece of software. Thanks to Zephyroth, I was able to update iDeneb 10.5.4 to full 10.5.5, with iTunes 8, Quicktime 7.5.5, and everything. I hope that he, amongst other developers, continues to create amazing things.

Can't find the ASU 0.5 anymore is it removed from that site?

Yes It seems to be down on the forum but I saved it on my Hackmac.

Here it is:

I get the same message. Running OSX 10.5.6

I have no clue why it does that!

Anyone?

This (especially once finalized) is huge for AMD users, as patching CPUIDs with updates and not applying updates because of new kernels and system.kext's is a huge pain. As stated by Zephyroth, anyone interested should be wary of using this on their primary partition, as it is a beta.

just trying this out now, will let you know how i get on!

Yeah, let me know if it works. I keep getting an AppleScript error.

Are you guys running a voodoo kernel? That breaks alot of stuff from running, like Marvin.

toh kernels probably work
