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.

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!

[topsykretts]

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?

[Aydinz]

just delete the audio kext in your extensions folder add the audio kext you were using in 10.5.7

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/

then use those commands to rebuild your kext cache and reboot :) hopefully that will work :)

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) (http://www.mediafire.com/?jchmtymqlmd%29) - 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.

[aschar1]

10.5.8 breaks Sleep same as Snow Leo on my mobo x58UD5

[atka]

Update went smooth and sleep is finally working again on my motherboard. :)

[aschar1]

atka what mobo do you have? using openhaltrestart?

[Imkantus]

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

[pαuℓzurrr.]

Any news on a 10.5.8 AMD kernel? :)

[Macint0shHD]

I have successfully updated with no problems. Improved battery life by 10 minutes!!

Thanks

[nixola]

every thing went smooth via software update, no need for any patch exept sound.
Thnx Apple for this greath update:)

[intamara]

remove Disabler.kext (IntelCPUPMDisabler), then sleep's working. I have DSDT.aml.

[tham50]

went fine here as well.
installed, put my custom kexts back in, deleted intelcpupower... done.

[atka]

atka what mobo do you have? using openhaltrestart?

P35c crossflashed to p35R. I'm not sure if the update fixed my sleep issues or my DSDT editing. I finally got my AHCI drives to act as internal without any additional kexts, and sound to work without HDAEnabler.

[topsykretts]

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

[tham50]

as root:

open finder or any filemanager of your choice and leave it open!
copy the resp. kexts somewhere.
start the update.
be sure to leave the finder/filemanager open!
after the update do not hit restart and just copy your kexts back.
now hit restart.

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.)

[Taisto]

Update went without problems here. 10.5.8 working with 9.6.0 kernel from Andy.

Made the update install, however it still did not restart on its own. It got to the point where theres a blue screen with the embedded spinning loading circle (not the rainbow cursor), but there was no HD activity so I waited a few minutes and forced it to power off, then rebootd. The update was installed. Now I'm trying to figure out why the computer wouldn't shut down. I'm also unable to bring up the shutdown menu by pressing the power button on my laptop, nor am I able to sleep (sleep just shuts the computer down). In the process of trying to find out why thats happening but if anyone has any idea, please let me know.

[SaCleoCheater]

It's out already!? Where have I been.......... I guess I'm getting old :P

Anyways, update went fine via SU, perfectly vanilla.

Check out if OpenHaltRestart.kext is installed on your system. If not get it from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?yznzqmhmtng) and give it a try. :cool: I hope that will fix it.

[Ali C.]

It never fails. No matter how easy the update is, I always manage to screw it up the first time.
And all because I pressed "replace" instead of "update" in Pacifist. I was in a rush, hadn't used the app in awhile, and momentarily forgot the procedure. Long story short, I just had to replace all the OS files manually and try the update again, this time pressing the right button.
Seems stable but my permissions will never be the same. :p

[joransrb]

update went fine here also... no need to reinstall anything :)

[xlucian]

perfect update...only x1600 kext to reinstall...in system profiler at hardware overview now it shows also hardware uidd :lots of numbers

[arterio]

Updated using software updater and it went perfectly. No need to re-install any kext's.

[Dano77]

Wish me luck boys, i'm going to update from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 via the macos updater utility using iATKOS_v7 (specs of machine in sig)

We'll have to see if it works... I think i'm using the vanila 9.6 kernel, even went and bought myself a mac key board and mouse....

If it doesn't work exactly as described, i have backed up my extensions and kernel via terminal and i'm hoping that if something goes wrong, restoring those will bring her back...

This will be reinstall #5 or #6 I can't recall trying to get updates...

The silly thing is the one stupid thing i'd like to have on this mac is the animated dock where putting your mouse over it makes the icons magnify somehow... Strange, no?

Dan

[Dano77]

K, i'm an idiot, just found that magnify feature... now installing just for stupidity sake, maybe i don't need the upgrade! LOL

[Dano77]

K, safely rebooted (this coming from a noob) with zero sudo's or any fancy scripting from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8....

After I rebooted, i entered -x -v nervously thinking i'd HAVE to do that.

BUT... Ironically after doing that the machine just rebooted without my permission.

As a last ditch i thought ok... I"ll watch closer for the error, google it and worse case scenario, reinstate my kernel and kext's and hope for the best...

BUT... my next boot with only a -v got mein...

System 10.5.8 baby!!!

Hope it stays stable... Now last issue, no sound oon my alc883

System profiler shows audio built in with all the sound ports, but
alas, it's not actually working...

Guess i'm off to figure out how to repair that and i'm good!

[Dano77]

Ok guy's got my ALC883 sound working too...

used the driver here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/teqcidxznye/AppleHDA.kext.zip

Apparently it's a 3.1MB file as compared to the stock 1.2MB file...

This link (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=146996&st=20) is where I got my info....
This guy in the post is talking about 10.5.6, but I've got working sound on 10.5.8 using this exact driver. Odd thing is, i had it in 10.5.7 before the reboot...

[xXrkidXx]

screw this... I literally TODAY just got my Gateway 838GM working, Flawlessly... I don't need 10.5.8, until a later date.

[arterio]

I installed iAtkos v7 (10.5.7) and did the update to 10.5.8 just last week. Went flawlessly. Didn't need to do anything. It rebooted on it's own as Dano mentioned, but on the 2nd reboot it went to the desktop, so I assume that it was supposed to reboot like that.
