There You go :

Before you start : Download Andy's 9.6.0 kernel package. search the forum for link.

1. Open the terminal.
2. Browse into main directory of your Mac OS partition.
" cd /Volumes/name_of_partition "
" ls -l "
3. You should see a file named "mach_kernel" there. Make a backup of it.
" cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old "
4. Repair its permissions.
" sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel_old "
" sudo chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel_old "
5. Now you can run Software Update, and get your update.
6. After the update - restart your computer.
7. While booting, press F8 and write :
" mach_kernel_old -x "
8. When your computer boots up in safe mode - just install Andy's package.
9. Restart and boot normally.
10. You have 10.5.7 running.

Well, that's it. You can of course make a backup of System.kext aswell, then instead of booting into safe mode and installing Andy's kernel - you can boot into -s mode and copy back the System.kext ( and repair permissions ), but i find this way more convenient.

PS. seatbelt.kext is needed on 10.5.6 to mount USB/DMG properly. Without it your system may fail to mount usb drives or images, or kernel panic at you when you try to do it.

The first thing you should find out is if you can run the vanilla kernel or you need the voodoo kernel. You dont state your config so its hard to give any advice. If you are running vanilla 10.5.6 you should be able to update to 10.5.7 without using another kernel. If not you would need to do something as what Taisto suggests.
seatbelt.kext usually needs to be kept in sync (same versions) as the kernel to avoid problems
Also if you are using a specific (patched) kext for your hard drive controller you need to be sure it doesnt get overwritten by the updates.

i use vanilla kernel.

i downloaded the combo update from apple (which i used on my real mac too). installed it on the hackintosh. rebooted. it failed. i rebooted ran -v on bootloader to figure out why. it successfully boots. my board is an intel dg31pr so i had to patch my sound card again. other than that 10.5.7 is running.
