I have AMD system, which runs kalyway 10.5.2. Its been pretty stable and i havent found problem as such. (touchwood) running tons of apps luckily no issues.

I want to update to 10.5.6(mostly greed and partially need...for iphone dev)

I am trying to use ASU latest from the sticky. It lists a comboupdate for 10.5.6. would it be safe to go for this directly? Is there any precaustions i need to take (ofcourse other than backing up kexts and data). Any separate steps?
I see somewhere ppl talking about deleting some "power.." kext etc. Not sure. "The seaside place" has a kalyway update for 10.5.3 but it says its only for intel. So just wondering..if somebody can help.

Author Update #1 @nagu 2009-02-19

issues issues

I tried the generally tried out method kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 comboupdate(kalyway)..
It didnt ask for restart but restarted automatically! and say what bricked

Now i am planning to fresh install of 10.5.2...So need help in updating. Googling gives me options only for updating intel systems not much of AMD

This is my plan
1. install 10.5.2 fresh.. (I know there are some issues on networking so..get appropriate Kext and install using OSxtools)
2. Install Marvin's Dont panic...and use it (Is this the right step or i can use AMD patcher?)
3. Now the hardpart of updating to 10.5.6..Ppl is there any really good Guides or steps to follow. I would prefer ASU method. ASU lists only 10.5.6 comboupdate and nothing else.

i hav an intel system, so this could and could not work for u, but i had kaliway 10.5.1, then, i got: voodoo kernel 9.5, Disabler kext, AppleDecrypt kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext and a backup of your actual kext, so u can restore it after apply the ComboUpd.
I run the update, reboot, fix my video, audio kexts by restoring the old ones and everything working.
About deleting AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, there's a kext for that...

Field Note #2 @oneshot 2009-02-23

Hey nagu, I have an update package that should get your AMD running OSX up to 10.5.5

Check your PM's

Field Note #3 @mnlavey 2009-02-23

kalyway 10.5.2 update

oneshot,

I am also "stuck" on kalyway 10.5.2.

Are you planning to make your update package public? I would certainly be interested in obtaining it.

Field Note #4 @Ali C. 2009-02-23

For anyone who hasn't been blessed with the aforementioned "update package" and has Kalyway 10.5.2 on an AMD...

1. Get the Voodoo kernel and install it using OSX86Tools or a similar utility
2. Get a copy of Disabler.kext and install it using OSX86Tools, Kext Helper, or similar. This stops AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement from running so it can't brick your system.
3. (OOPS forgot this part *facepalm*) Update your EFI to one that supports a DSDT patcher. Obtain a DSDT patcher and run it. Place the file it creates in the root folder of the drive your installation resides on.
4. Download and install the Combo 10.5.6 update using Zephyroth's ASU app.
5. Cross your fingers and let it reboot two or three times. It should now be fully updated and working properly. Just reinstall any hardware kexts you have, and you're all set EXCEPT for one thing...get a copy of seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 and install it, or you won't be able to mount disk images without getting a KP.

If this works i´m impressed. Updating from my lawless 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 did not work so far.
- 2. Isn´t Voodoo blacklisting AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement automaticly?
- 3. Voodoo readme says marvinAMDpatcher wont work with Voodoo, isn´t Zephs updater based on Marvin?
- 4. Yeah, letting it reboot more than once without fretting requires experience and patience.

Having read this i just might try another attempt at updating my test clone system

Field Note #6 @Ali C. 2009-02-25

Yeah, that's pretty much how mine went. And no, Zeph's updater is unrelated to Marvin's utility.

HOWEVER I did forget about the DSDT patcher. Post corrected. *facepalm* Sorry.

Hey, I'll PM you the link!

also this is not my update package, all the credit goes to Xxp/TuX

he's the one who sent it to me when I hat 10.5.2

The update package should work well with your distro because I use the same one.

If anyone ellse needs the package ether PM me or reply to this thread

Field Note #8 @Injerto 2009-02-28

Please could you send me that link? I also have Kalyway in AMD with version 10.5.2

My mail is [email protected] if you need it.

I used Zephyroths AMD update and it automatically downloaded and patched 10.5.6 for me, I went straight from 10.5.2 to 10.5.6 Only issue is I need to find the NVidia driver now, I'm in it right now, but without the kext i keep getting artifacts. I originally installed with no Nvidia Kexts. Works great, when using it I chose the modify only option selected the 10.5.6 update and modified it then went to my downloads folder and started the pkg install. Rebooted and loaded into OS. If it doesn't boot right away wait a minute, after that restart the computer and type -v -x at the prompt. If it self-reboots then try a normal boot again. Mind you I didn't update my kernel and I'm using Modbin.

Field Note #10 @Ali C. 2009-03-05

I'd appreciate a copy of your package just in case I need to reinstall Kalyway. It would sure lessen the hassle.

I just found the reboot problem for me, the EFI keeps resetting my BIOS time and it screws it up, I mean it boots but only after a couple tries. Once I reset the BIOS time it booted up fine. As for the package, I used the ASU and checked Modify Only. It downloaded the update for me and modified it, then put it in my downloads folder. You could do the same. Once it's saved in your downloads burn it to cd or transfer it to a flash drive it's...lemme check... MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.pkg~655.8MB

If you really want my package, I'll need some ideas on how to send it to you, never had to do it before. I'm assuming P2P would be more convenient.

Field Note #12 @SirBee 2009-03-13

This is my first post with this community and I just wanted to say that it is great that we have places like this.

Anyways, my question is about the Zephyroths AMD update. I have the Beta 0.5 file, and first I would like to know if this is all I needed? And secondly, I wanted to know if I would need a new bootloader to install this on my computer, Right now I am just using Darwin that came with Kalyway 10.5.2.

I need to update to 10.5.6 because I plan on purchasing a version of iLife 09.

for your help

[EDIT] I tried to install the update using the AMD update software. I only selected the Mac combo 10.5.6 package to update, and i selected modify only. It then proceeds to download the package successfully. Then it starts to unpack the package, and when the blue bar gets about 1/4 of the way across the screen, a gray cover comes over the screen and it tells me that I need to reboot my computer. I reboot, and it is as if nothing happened. Could somebody out? Thank you again.

u should try updating your kernel if u don't have Voodoo yet. need Disabler.kext, AppleDecrypt.kext and then try again...

Field Note #14 @avianrave 2009-03-16

Can I also get that package. I'm on 10.5.2 on a fresh install, and I'm really confused on how to update without breaking my install.

Field Note #15 @th3kid 2009-03-25

also trying to update from Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.6

I am doing a fresh install as we speak on a Gateway MT6451 notebook... During initial install most everything works but the sound (sigmatel) tried many of patches to get that going to no success.. can someone send me the link for the update to 10.5.6.. as far as kernel i am using sleepstep 9.2.0

Field Note #19 @Gunn3r 2009-08-29

I was wondering if I could get a copy of that update as well. I'm buying a new laptop tomorrow, and will install Kalyway 10.5.2 on it, but it's different than my main PC, so I would like the update package, just to be safe... That is, if it's still available.

Hi, I have only been able to get leo4all to load on my dell inspiron 531 amd system. It is 10.5.2 so I would like this patch as well to try and update the Leopard. Thanks!
