Field Note #3 @necrodebian 2008-06-23

Field Note #5 @iero 2008-06-29

Just a question : Is it possible to update from zeph's 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 ?

Field Note #6 @maya77 2008-06-30
[cite] elicip:who can tell me the answer? Thanx!

Worked fine for me.

[cite] elicip:another question,can you sign in the ms message in 10.5.3? it can not be signed in ms message in Zephy Rev.2 10.5.2 ~

It didn't worked on 10.5.2 for me, and does not work on 10.5.3 neither.

I'm using Adium and it works fine.

Field Note #7 @Taisto 2008-07-01

it didnt work for me. system never booted again after update. Im trying to update to 10.5.4 with already patched files from the topic "10.5.4 is Out!" - if it doesnt work too, i`ll begin to search why.

Field Note #8 @DoiX 2008-07-01

the patch is only for 10.5.3 to 10.5.4, not for 10.5.2 to 10.5.4

Field Note #9 @cgsheen 2008-07-01
[cite] iero:Just a question : Is it possible to update from zeph's 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 ?

That's the way I did it on my 780G/Phenom Install... I had Zephy's 10.5.1 installed and running then used Zeph's ASU to install the 10.5.3 update. It worked fine on that machine.

Field Note #10 @nfoav8or 2008-07-01

I did the same as cgsheen with going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 with one update-mod using ASU. I always select "mod-only" so I can use the update later if necessary (helps to not have to redownload things again). I am about to retry it again only this time going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.4. I've already got the 9.4.0 mach_kernel installed so we will see how well this goes.

Field Note #11 @iero 2008-07-01

nfoav8or : Do you still have the modified .pkg ? I'm interrested..

Field Note #12 @nfoav8or 2008-07-01

I'm uploading it to rapidshare right now... I'll post back with the link soon.

Field Note #13 @nfoav8or 2008-07-01

nm. the file is too large for rapidshare. I put it on the bay. I use the same username as here. Located under Applications > Mac look for "MacOSXUpdateCombo 10.5.1 to 10.5.4"

Field Note #14 @naquaada 2008-07-02

I'm not sure about with these combo updates. A combo Update 10.5.1 -> 10.5.3 crashed my system.

Field Note #15 @nfoav8or 2008-07-03

i've used it twice on test partitions and it hasn't crashed either time. maybe I'm just lucky though. I let me computer sit idle with a mouse movement every once in a while during the update. I've also booted cpus=1 to system for stability... that might help a little more for the updates.

Field Note #16 @nfoav8or 2008-07-03

@elicip
if you wait about a day, I'm doing some testing on external HD's and can put an update on the Bay for what you might need. Which Version are you running now? 10.5.2?

Field Note #17 @nfoav8or 2008-07-03

@ naquaada

so ever since I posted last, I cannot get it to work. Maybe it was a freak of nature or I just wasn't duplicating all the .kext changes that I had done before upgrading using this installer. Oh well tho. I've recently used Leo4Allv3 so I could simply have the Quicktime 7.4.5 and iTunes 7.6.2 that I talked to you about in another post. I cannot boot from DVD though, as my system isn't fully supported because I am using a MCP61 (nForce4) SATA controller. So instead, I placed this ISO on an external HD and have been using that for the sole purpose of testing everything. Works great... not like the original Zeph DVD, but oh well right...

Field Note #18 @nfoav8or 2008-07-04

@ elicip

File placed on TPB for you to get at. This is a 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 mod-install created by Zeph's ASU 0.5 beta.

Search for "MacOSXUpdateCombo_10.5.2_to_10.5.4"

Field Note #19 @Taisto 2008-07-26

@nfoav8or

This file crashed my OS - did it worked for You ? I wonder what`s wrong with my system. I tried ASU, modified 10.5.3 file, modified 10.5.4-combo file - each and every one of them results in my OS never boots again - no errors etc. just stuck after detecting video card. Tried to delete gfx kext before update - it`s the same. Guess no update`s for me. I`ll just wait for new relase ( 10.5.1>10.5.2 update didn`t work for me either, while 10.5.2 relase works prefrectly. i Guess i`m just doing something wrong )

Field Note #20 @nfoav8or 2008-07-26

@Taisto
Are you able to boot with the "<b>-s</b>" flag and delete the graphics kexts manually?

<b>boot with -s
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot</b>

Field Note #21 @Taisto 2008-07-27

@nfoav8or

Yeah, tried that - does not work either with or without gfx kexts. It just hangs.

Field Note #22 @nfoav8or 2008-07-27

@Taisto
were you able to successfully update to kernel 9.4.0? I make sure I do this before I even update to 10.5.3 and then separately update to 10.5.4. The files should be in the forum, but if you can't find them I'll post them for you here temporarily.

Field Note #23 @Voyn1x 2008-07-28

Taisto,

You say it hangs after detecting the video card, what is the exact error it displays?

Field Note #24 @nfoav8or 2008-07-28

@Voyn1x
He's using Lawless's BETA now so he's probably not worrying about it anymore. He beat me to the punch too.
