It just forces the system to ignore any caches and reload all the kernel extensions.

hmm...

Have you checked the permissions on this drive?

Boot from the install DVD and use terminal to take a look at the permissions on the updated files, if you find they are all screwed up, i.e set to your user or to group "staff" then you need to fix permissions, but the problem is your receipts will likely also be screwed up

If you need a backup of the receipts before the update, let me know.

Works Excellent on my 10.5.5 setup updated from 10.5.2

Sleep also

Best Regards

iMac ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 ::: Intel Core2Duo 2.93GHz ::: NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 256MB ::: 4GB DDR3 RAM

That normally happens when you aren't using the equivalent 10.5.5 system.kext

yeah they told me that, so if i use the 10.5.5 system.kext on my 10.5.2 system will it still work? because i want to use voodoo kext because it works faster but i want to stay on 10.5.2 and still use my USB drives

That is correct. The 10.5.2 system will work with a 10.5.5 system.kext.

Has anyone heard how the updates are coming along with the XNU-dev team? Their site continues to state 2nd half of October and I just want to make sure this is still being followed up on. Thanks.

when i restart it doesn't load it. is there something I have to do to load it automatically?

well first off, did you rename it to mach_kernel (not recommended unless you've tested it thoroughly on your system)? The common com.apple.Boot.plist file usually points to this as its kernel source.

To have the voodoo kernel as a backup kernel or test kernel:
place it in your root ( / ) directory and rename it to something for easy access.. in my case I just renamed it to "voodoo".
I personally run the following in Terminal: to ensure I cannot alter it unless I'm acting as the root user now. Go ahead and reboot. When you see the countdown on your initial startup, press a key and simply type in the name of the kernel ("voodoo" in my case again) and any other boot flags you want when you start up. there ya go. now you can update your system.kext file to 9.5 and you'll be sitting pretty.
