I've installed aitkos 5i and everything worked while 10.5.5 then I ran "software updates" to 10.5.6 and now I got some issues

1) my clock is fast a full minute every 10 - TRIED - upgraded boot to chameleon 2.0, repair permissions - nothing helped

2) Some of my dmg and iso images won't mount it says "no mountable file systems" (ilife09.dmg, firefox.dmg all worked fine) - My dvd movies won't mount either.

Any idea?

@TaistoHmm, i dont know about the clock speed - i`ve seen it slowing down when CPU was throttled improperly, but never seen it working too fast so i cant help here. But about the dmg images - if you have updated to 10.5.6 as you said, you have to use Seatbelt.kext for 10.5.6 or else you might have problems with mounting images and usb…

Thanks for your help, I did save my seatbelt and system kext from 10.5.5 b4 the update but still have problem with some dmgs also I can't burn iso images.

Author Update #2 @n0cud06 2009-05-01 ↳ Re: @Ali C.
@Ali C.n0cud06, do you mean in saying it goes "too fast" that the CPU jumps to 100% usage? Because that's the only thing I can think of that would make some sense.

Ali - no cpu is normal... I don't know if this is because of the 10.5.6 update since I updated the same day I installed os x. The clock jumps a minute every 10 minutes then if you open data & time it fixes the time since it's set to auto sync with time.apple.com - disabling auto apple auto sync won't do any good either. I heard using chameleon would fix the bios problem, I tried it and the nothing changed
