Update success from 10.5.7:

- AHCI mode (IDE disabled in BIOS)
- using dsmos and Disabler for 10.5.8 from netkas.org
- using Chameleon2 RC1 because RC2 doesn't load items (timeout, gfx string...) from com.apple.Boot.plist
- gfx string (EFi Studio by Inside) for nVidia 8800gt
- reinstalling ALC 889a (Gigabyte Control Center by Pcwiz)
- Geekbench and XBench results are the same as 10.5.7.

10.7.1 / Gigabyte P55-USB3 / i5 750 / 9800gt / http://miliuco.es

hi, i am succesfuly updated from 10.5.7 iAtkos to 10.5.8 via Software update!

Chameleon 2,
Intel C2D,
VoodooHDA,
VoodooPS2Controler,
BCM 57xx,
Intel GMA X3100,
2GB RAM
Custom DSDT.aml
Vanilla kernel

Everything works with no issuies! No touches needed!

I've just downloaded the update (iatkos v7) and will edit this post if everything goes smoothly.

If I don't, pray for me.

Ok, well it downloads and 'installs' fine, but when it gets to the restart it just closes the menu bar and everything and stays on the blue screen.. it doesn't restart. It doesn't seem to be hanging, the mouse is responsive.. but theres no HD activity. Any help?

I hold down the power button so that it shuts down and then I boot it up, and I go to check the OS version and its still 10.5.7.

Guys, I have a Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 motherboard and my sound doesn't work anymore after updating to 10.5.8. I believe I have the ALC889A sound. How can I fix this?

try using EFI strings or patch your dsdt

works with stock AppleHDA.kext - (remove HDAEnabler! and legacy kexts) works at least on my board gigabyte X58 UD5 Bios 8E but should work on other Gigabyte boards too

put your DSDT.aml on program icon of iaslme ( http://www.mediafire.com/?jchmtymqlmd) - results in DSDT.dsl, which you can edit with textedit . Just drop after you edited the DSDT.dsl on icon of iaslme again and you have your patched DSDT.aml

Its easy
Now the exact patch

1. replace all entries AZAL with HDEF
(there are 2) use search

2. replace the entire Device (HDEF) entry with the following:

Thanks for this DSDT Patch goes to Solar. Sound quality is good analog stereo although ahs several sound assertions at boot.

You have to use Line Out for analog Output (black plugin)



Edit: This DSDT patch works on 10.5.8 and 10.6 but not on 10.5.7.

10.5.8 breaks Sleep same as Snow Leo on my mobo x58UD5

Hi,
I had the same problem on earlier updates I did some time ago, (Re)applying patched AppleSMBIOS.kext did the fix. Maybe that helps?

---

Could you be a bit more specific? Am I supposed to run the updater again, wait until it hangs when restarting and force it to power off, then copy a backup of that .kext when I boot it up again and then restart and it'll show up as 10.5.8?

Well first of all I do not promise that it will work, I just sayed it fixed it for me on previous updates.
Did you made a back-up of your Extensions folder, before updating? If not I suggest you to do so on future times.
If you made one, just try to boot from some OSx86 DVD, open Terminal, mount your drive r/w, copy your old AppleSMBIOS.kext back, check it's permissions and reboot using -f
If you didn't maybe v1.0.12 by netkas is worth a try, at least it still used to work with 10.5.7 so I reckon it will do with 10.5.8 as well. But you will have to store it onto some HFS USB Stick or something like that to access it by using the Terminal window of some DVD.

(And yes I know, that it's possible to have vanilla SMBIOS with using newer Chameleon v2, etc, alltough, I think this might help.)
