1. Open the terminal.
2. Browse into main directory of your Mac OS partition.
" cd /Volumes/name_of_partition "
" ls -l "
3. You should see a file named "mach_kernel" there. Make a backup of it.
" cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old "
4. Repair its permissions.
" sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel_old "
" sudo chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel_old "
5. Now you can run Software Update, and get your update.
6. After the update - restart your computer.
7. While booting, press F8 and write :
" mach_kernel_old -x "
8. When your computer boots up in safe mode - just install Andy's package.
9. Restart and boot normally.
10. You have 10.5.7 running.

Well, that's it. You can of course make a backup of System.kext aswell, then instead of booting into safe mode and installing Andy's kernel - you can boot into -s mode and copy back the System.kext ( and repair permissions ), but i find this way more convenient.

PS. seatbelt.kext is needed on 10.5.6 to mount USB/DMG properly. Without it your system may fail to mount usb drives or images, or kernel panic at you when you try to do it.

where is Andy's package? Thanks!

this is my 2nd hackintosh.

I did as stated. as original kernel i was using mach_kernel.voodoo

The problem im hving after 10.5.6 Combo Update is that after reboot it freezes @ warning skipping personalities in blacklisted kext com.apple.dont_steal_mac_os_x

i dont want to reinstall. as a day earlier i fixed this thing with 10.5.8 update :P
now i am confused what i did. ( using MacDrive i replaced 10.5.8 seatbelt and 9.8.0 kernel, removed dont_steal_mac_osx.kext - n more things)

i've - Xp as dualboot with MacDrive and Transmac installed.
also m having
seatbelt 10.5.5.kext and seatbelt 10.5.6.kext. and
Andy 9.6.0 Kernel i.e Voodoo_XNU_9.6.0_V1.1.
also dsmos.kext from my first hackintosh.

please help.

Is there similar method for updating 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 ?
This one worked for me on an old ibm T42 with pentium M (SSE2)

EDIT: I managed to update iPC 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 using this method and the iDeneb combo upgrade kit (10.5.8). For some reason the delta and combo updates from the apple site were broken or at least i received such error message. I didn't change the kernel. I am still using the Andy's 9.6.0 kernel.

The first thing you should find out is if you can run the vanilla kernel or you need the voodoo kernel. You dont state your config so its hard to give any advice. If you are running vanilla 10.5.6 you should be able to update to 10.5.7 without using another kernel. If not you would need to do something as what Taisto suggests.
seatbelt.kext usually needs to be kept in sync (same versions) as the kernel to avoid problems
Also if you are using a specific (patched) kext for your hard drive controller you need to be sure it doesnt get overwritten by the updates.
