I'm on an AMD w/ Voodoo 9.5 Kernel and I am posting from 10.5.6. I downloaded and installed the Universal OSX86 Installer and selected Install PC_EFI v9. After that, I downloaded and used the DSDT Patcher GUI and selected all the options. After that, I backed up some kexts and data to be safe and then got the 10.5.6 Update from Software Update (not the ASU; I got an error every time I tried).

After restart, it booted! I had to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext with my old kext because About This Mac would force a logout, but that all I needed to do to get 10.5.6 working for me

biird, thanks for your instructions. I only needed to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext and video card drivers.

I've just tried the 'original' nforce test kext, but im still having the same problem.
And i think its something else, because im only having the problem when itunes and or quicktime is open...

The seatbelt.kext is the same as 10.5.5?
Edit: looks the same, its different
And which version of the AppleNForceATA kext are you using?
Thnx

Just installed on my intel.
Most things seem okay but the bluetooth kexts are a bit dodgy to say the least. (solved by replacing with ones from 10.5.5)

updated AMD machine(followed netkas instructions). Everything seems to be ok. Except for there's no info in hardware section and "About this mac" shows Core 2 Duo @ 3.7 Ghz. Is this because of new AppleSMBIOS.kext? Can anyone PM me old one from 10.5.5?

Thanks!

Thanks for this good handy explanation.
I did it the exact same way and had no problems at all updating my AMD-System !

I installed 10.5.4 retail with boot-132 and I wanted to use the EFI partition way, but somehow it won't boot. I'm still using the boot132 CD and booting fine in a completely vanilla install. I did the 10.5.6 update without modifying anything and everything is ok. Booted fine from the first time and is running strong. Only if I could boot with the EFI partition and not the CD would be great.
