Before you start : Download Andy's 9.6.0 kernel package. search the forum for link.

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.

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.

... Thanks so much Taisto and thorazine74 for this quick answer.
I will try the traed from Taisto.

thanks again aljonama.

P.S. sorry my english

[aljonama]

[Puttabong]

By the way, here's the link to Andy's 9.6.0 kernel: http://www.infinitemac.com/f36/9-6-0-kernel-based-on-voodoo-t1858/

[joransrb]

ive also got ipc 10.5.6 and cant update to 10.5.7...
tryed various soulutions, and this one here as the latest, but with no luck...
i always get the still waiting for root device... tryed various solutions for that too with no luck...
im no expert, but is there some kexts that i can remove from the update the fu..s my system up...? ive tryed with the ideneb 10.5.7 update also...

im considering going for a retail type install, anyone who can tell me if my motherboard will support this...?

[cadensol]

i use vanilla kernel.

i downloaded the combo update from apple (which i used on my real mac too). installed it on the hackintosh. rebooted. it failed. i rebooted ran -v on bootloader to figure out why. it successfully boots. my board is an intel dg31pr so i had to patch my sound card again. other than that 10.5.7 is running.

Thanx, works great, but when I log in it starts Image Capturing device, i dont know why?

And still cant get my IC/QE working:'(

[xXrkidXx]

I dont have an iPod. Only have WEB camera, and old TV Card, with no drivers for it....

And for CI/QE I made a topic for that but nobody answers http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/cannot-get-ci-qe-on-my-gainward-7600gs-t3145/

[elijahkan8]

I am trying this (Taisto (http://www.infinitemac.com/../../member.php?u=496)'s Method) on a Dell Latitude D610 with 10.5.6 installed. Will report back if it works. I tried updating before and It became an infinite boot loop, but I also didn't backup the kernel ;)

Try going to:
System Preferences
Accounts (or Users)
Then click the startup something tab.
Erase what you dont want.

This worked perfectly for me to update my 10.5.6 AMD Athlon x2 with x1900xt from a relatively vanilla iPC 10.5.6 install to 10.5.7. Had to reboot an extra time and booted with -x -v on the new kernel for kicks, but i'm up and running now. thanks!

Of course now I'm getting random kernel panics and I can't attribute it to one thing in particular...

It was a bug with Dropbox. Any installer packages like that one from Andy for 10.5.8 yet?

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.

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 (http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/05/update-hackintosh-osx86-from-1056-to-1057/) 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.
