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.)

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.

Made the update install, however it still did not restart on its own. It got to the point where theres a blue screen with the embedded spinning loading circle (not the rainbow cursor), but there was no HD activity so I waited a few minutes and forced it to power off, then rebootd. The update was installed. Now I'm trying to figure out why the computer wouldn't shut down. I'm also unable to bring up the shutdown menu by pressing the power button on my laptop, nor am I able to sleep (sleep just shuts the computer down). In the process of trying to find out why thats happening but if anyone has any idea, please let me know.

It's out already!? Where have I been.......... I guess I'm getting old :P

Anyways, update went fine via SU, perfectly vanilla.

If I understood you right, you now managed to have 10.5.8 running, but having problems on shutdown, reboot, sleep and so on?
Check out if OpenHaltRestart.kext is installed on your system. If not get it from here and give it a try. :cool: I hope that will fix it.

It never fails. No matter how easy the update is, I always manage to screw it up the first time.
And all because I pressed "replace" instead of "update" in Pacifist. I was in a rush, hadn't used the app in awhile, and momentarily forgot the procedure. Long story short, I just had to replace all the OS files manually and try the update again, this time pressing the right button.
Seems stable but my permissions will never be the same. :p

update went fine here also... no need to reinstall anything :)

perfect update...only x1600 kext to reinstall...in system profiler at hardware overview now it shows also hardware uidd :lots of numbers

Updated using software updater and it went perfectly. No need to re-install any kext's.

Wish me luck boys, i'm going to update from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 via the macos updater utility using iATKOS_v7 (specs of machine in sig)

We'll have to see if it works... I think i'm using the vanila 9.6 kernel, even went and bought myself a mac key board and mouse....

If it doesn't work exactly as described, i have backed up my extensions and kernel via terminal and i'm hoping that if something goes wrong, restoring those will bring her back...

This will be reinstall #5 or #6 I can't recall trying to get updates...

The silly thing is the one stupid thing i'd like to have on this mac is the animated dock where putting your mouse over it makes the icons magnify somehow... Strange, no?

Dan

K, i'm an idiot, just found that magnify feature... now installing just for stupidity sake, maybe i don't need the upgrade! LOL
