I have disable.kext installed in my extras folder, should I replace this with the nullcpu.kext? Or have both?

You can try if NullCPUPwr works better... (Be sure to downlaod Leopard version!)

For power, I'm assuming I need to delete some of the old kexts before installing voodoo power, yes?
|
Why do you always want to delete something?!

Just install it to have Powermanegement functionality.

Oh, I've not tried patching update using zephryoth's tool, is that the solution?

No it is not. If you are running Voodoo Kernel you don't need to patch around.^^

I am indeed running the voodoo kernel 9.5.0. I've tried upgrading using practically every method I can think of and have found out there. It always ends with the same result which is the looping restart. Stupidly annoying!!

The problem is quite simple one. When you run update your Kernel Binary is replaced with Vanilla Kernel, which can't boot your system.
You need to create a back-up of it first. Do the following on Terminal:
Quote:
sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /bak_kernel
cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /Extensions_bak
|
Then remove any dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext from your system and replace it with
fakesmc v2 Leopard
Then reboot and run the next higher single update (in your case 10.5.5) and use "/bak_kernel -v" to boot into your system again, once done.
Then run the next higher update. Once you are on the version you want, delete mach_kernel using "sudo rm -f /mach_kernel" and copy back your old one using "sudo mv /bak_kernel /mach_kernel"
To fix Kernel Panic on dmg mounting - Reinstall your old seatbelt.kext from /Extensions_bak
To fix USB mounting - reinstall system.kext form /Extensions_bak
