First of all I would always apply only the next higher update, so you can assess where problems occur.
Furthermore I would change onto some newer Kernelversion, if you want to update to 10.5.8 - Doesn't the Voodoo Kernel work for you? If not I recommend to use Stage Kernel, it has the same patches applied as ToH 9.2.0 has, but it's 9.4.0 based (using it myself
)
Anyway here is how you do:
1. Create a back-up of your working kernel using:
Code:
sudo cp /mach_kernel /working_kernel
Do the same with you Extensions folder, each time you update;
Code:
sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /Extensions_bak
2. Make sure you have
Disabler.kext and a Decrypter (dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext) installed.
3. Download the next Delta Update from Apple and apply it, but do not restart.
4. Open up Terminal and edit the first boot script using
Code:
sudo nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1
go to the end and replace "Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext" with your Decrypter (2).
*
5. Boot up using
for the next time.
6. Reapply system.kext and eventually even seatbelt.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext from your back-up to avoid the known problems.
* This is no longer necessary at Update from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 - instead of it make sure to repair file-permissions using OSx86 Tools before you reboot.
Report your problems and errors and I am sure we'll find a solution, feel free to ask questions about my offhand-written How-To
