Updating Leo4all 10.5.2 to 10.5.8

Hi!! I just installed Leo4all on my PC. Works perfectly, and I decided to completely move myself from Windows to Hackintosh... and so I did. Got my music, files, docs and messenger service working now.

First I installed without ACPI Fix enabled and I wasn't able to boot... got stuck at
Code:
MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
... so I tried with the ACPI Fix and it worked (maybe this information is useful for someone).

However, I'm not able to get iTunes Store (with iTunes 9) working and iWork 09' Trial. For iTunes Store, I require the latest Safari. To update it, I must have Leopard 10.5.8. The same goes for iWork.

I've been surfing the net, and I found out that with Vanilla Kernel you just download the update, and reboot without problem. BUT, I had problems.

My first attempt was from the Apple Software Update, downloaded the 700MB update, clicked restart and the installer opened... crashed at 6%. I rebooted pushing the reset button, and Leopard was not able to run anymore. I don't remember the error, nor I wrote it down. Sorry for this one.

After restoring from Time Machine backup, I downloaded from Apple Support Page the Combo Update. Installed it... and rebooted. No luck again. This was the last line I had:
Code:
[HCIController][configurePM] power parent ready after 1 tries
Again, did restore from Time Machine. After a while surfing the net (again), I found iDeneb Upgrade Kit to 10.5.8 and installed. Again, no luck! I got stuck at the same line above. How ever, near the top of the screen a yellow line appeared saying something about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext couldn't be loaded.

Restored from Time Machine once again... and here I am. I'm not sure what Leo4all version I'm running (torrent said nothing about that). During install, I changed nothing but switched to Vanilla Kernel and checked ACPI Fix.

So... how should I update? I really love this OS. I'm saving to get a real Mac, but for now... for us the guys with low budget, this is perfect :P

Thanks for your help in advance

**Bump** Having the same issue updating from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8...I did the entire backup of my kexts and even backed up my kernel, but when I use the delta update to 10.5.8 it hangs on the apple logo screen forever and never loads completely? I too want the entire package, but if it is this much trouble I guess I can stick with 10.5.7. The only reason I moved up to the latest delta update is because iTunes kept crashing and giving me kernel panics when I picked on a song to play...odd but this maybe a different subject for a different thread.
Any ideas guys?
