After restart, it booted! I had to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext with my old kext because About This Mac would force a logout, but that all I needed to do to get 10.5.6 working for me  |
biird, you deserve some holiday cookies for that post. I'd been burned trying to install 10.5.6 the first time and had to format and reinstall from 10.5.2.
From there, I downloaded the combo update and along with biird's explanation and AMD Patcher 0.31 got updated to 10.5.6.
I didn't have any SMBIOS troubles, but my USB keyboard's not working at the Darwin prompt. No biggie. I also had to replace seatbelt.kext and System.kext to get disk image mounting and Time Machine going again.
My processor's a 2.6 GHz AMD though. Guess I'm gonna have to fix up the aesthetics manually.
