Hi,
I had the same problem on earlier updates I did some time ago, (Re)applying patched AppleSMBIOS.kext did the fix. :cool: Maybe that helps?

remove Disabler.kext (IntelCPUPMDisabler), then sleep's working. I have DSDT.aml.

went fine here as well.
installed, put my custom kexts back in, deleted intelcpupower... done.

P35c crossflashed to p35R. I'm not sure if the update fixed my sleep issues or my DSDT editing. I finally got my AHCI drives to act as internal without any additional kexts, and sound to work without HDAEnabler.

Could you be a bit more specific? Am I supposed to run the updater again, wait until it hangs when restarting and force it to power off, then copy a backup of that .kext when I boot it up again and then restart and it'll show up as 10.5.8?

as root:

open finder or any filemanager of your choice and leave it open!
copy the resp. kexts somewhere.
start the update.
be sure to leave the finder/filemanager open!
after the update do not hit restart and just copy your kexts back.
now hit restart.

Well first of all I do not promise that it will work, I just sayed it fixed it for me on previous updates. ;)
Did you made a back-up of your Extensions folder, before updating? If not I suggest you to do so on future times. ;)
If you made one, just try to boot from some OSx86 DVD, open Terminal, mount your drive r/w, copy your old AppleSMBIOS.kext back, check it's permissions and reboot using -f
If you didn't maybe v1.0.12 by netkas is worth a try, at least it still used to work with 10.5.7 so I reckon it will do with 10.5.8 as well. :) But you will have to store it onto some HFS USB Stick or something like that to access it by using the Terminal window of some DVD.

(And yes I know, that it's possible to have vanilla SMBIOS with using newer Chameleon v2, etc, alltough, I think this might help.)
