OK. Succesfully did it through Software-Update.

Andy's v5 rework of 10.4.0 legacy XNU is still working fine, after patching out a few CPUIDs + sysenter traps from libSystem.B*.dylib files:



ATI Framebuffer drivers have been reworked, but working without issues.

There are two new ATI Framebuffer called "Nomascus" und "Orangutan". ATI 5XXX owners who haven't yet been able to make their cards to work, should give those a try.

Anyway I'm pissed off... Stupid USB drivers stoped working after Update - I had to restore old versions of IOUSBFamily.kext & IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from 10.6.4 - Due to lack of a keyboard I can't post my dmesg - but these lines are present in system.log
Code:
Nov 11 00:41:12 XYZs-Mac com.apple.kextd[12]: Failed to load /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBOHCI.kext - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed.

It seems there are others having the same trouble... - maybe this problem related to using an previous version of XNU Kernel, but I currently don't have the equipment for giving this a try...

Would be really great to know.
Ofcourse unpatched / vanilla Kernel does not work on AMD. For the moment you will have to use 10.4.0 patched Kernel with 10.6.5 - I'd recommend you to back-up your Kernel Extensions etc as well.

Apple hasn't released the source code for 10.6.5, yet. Once it is avaible there is the possibility to start working on porting the current kernel patches to the latest kernel version. (And maybe to fix USB drivers as well. )
