Welcome to InfiniteMac!

Please provide us with some specifications about your system (CPU, Motherboard, Graphics & Model Number if applicable). Adding more specific information allows us to respond quickly with more precise answers. Chipset, LAN, Audio & If your Graphics are integrated or not, are excellent additions.

You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. How to edit your signature: http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars

Updating from patched installs such as leo4all requires some planning as updating can overwrite certain fixes that keep your system running. This depends heavily on your system specs.

You mention some apps do not work. Can you check and see if you have Quartz Extreme /Core Image supported? Go to System Profiler in your utilities folder. Look at your graphics card and it should say supported.

Im not good with computer spec finding this what i know

Without Quartz Extreme supported you will find as you mentioned apps not loading and poor video quality. I have not seen the 6150 SE onboard graphics chipset supported by OSX. You do however have an expansion slot and so could add a compatible graphics card. This would make for a much more reasonable experience.

We can still bring your system up to 10.5.8, Is there a certain application you want to run that requires 10.5.8?

Creatorp · #5 01-18-2010, 09:33 PM

Thanks i think i should buy a new graphics card,

and thanks , yea i want to use the new safari for itunes store cuz it needs it and alot of other ones thanks for helping

We can go two routes with this.

1. Upgrade your system as is to 10.5.8 though you will have the same problems the next time you update.

2. Redo your system using the Retail EFI partition method. This would provide you with a machine that can be easily updated

Ill let you pick. By the way which kernel are you currently running? Open Terminal and type

Code:

uname -a

Lets also get an idea as to what kexts (drivers) you have installed. Open terminal and type (Replace YOURUSERNAME with your user name):

Code:

cd /System/Library/Extensions
ls > /users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/listofkexts.txt

You should have a txt file on your desktop with a list of kexts. You can post this or if it gives you a problem you can PM me with it.

Ill try to put a guide together for you this evening. We might also be able to fix your freeze problem. If its a complete system freeze.

Next time you boot try using the boot-flag which limits OSX to use 2gb of memory:

Code:

maxmem=2048

Then try to replicate that freeze problem. See if you can force it to freeze up. If it works fine with this boot flag we should be able to fix that and allow you to use your 4gb of memory

Creatorp · #9 01-18-2010, 10:18 PM

Ok thanks so much, ill wait and ill let you know about the freeze problem later

\

Thanks again

Okay you should do this in stages. The first thing we should do is upgrade your kernel to something more recent and AMD friendly.

Lets install the Voodoo kernel.

Download the voodoo kernel from here. http://xnu-dev.googlecode.com/files/..._1.0_Rev_A.dmg

Im not a fan of Installers I like to know what being done and know that it was done correctly. Feel free to use the installer but at your own risk. I have also included the commands to do it manually. Don't let me scare you away with a pile of commands. Its not that many I just like to explain each in detail so that people can learn what they are doing instead of typing mindless lines of code.

Once you finish and have restarted check your kernel version as mentioned earlier by using the uname -a command. It should say Voodoo. Let me know once you have gotten this far.

Manually installing a kernel
You can manually install install a kernel by following the instructions below. In order for the system to work properly you will need to have a kernel & system.kext with matching versions. Hopefully you already know which kernel version you have downloaded and generally these packages include a matching system.kext. If you would like to
1. Make a backup copy of your existing kernel and name it mach_kernel.backup

Code:

cp -r /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.backup

2. Copy the new kernel from your USB thumb drive to the root directory

Code:

cp -r /Volumes/usbdrive/mach_kernel /mach_kernel

3. Correct ownership for all kernels

Code:

chown root:wheel /mach_kernel*

4. Correct permissions for all kernels

Code:

chmod 644 /mach_kernel*
