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.

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!

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

used the driver here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/teqcid...leHDA.kext.zip

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

This link 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...

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.
