Try booting with the installation disc ...


What you do is boot from the disc BUT instead of pressing F8 when prompted, just leave it and let it countdown and if all goes well you will boot into your Leopard installation ...


You can then download Chameleon and install it to fix your boot problem ...

NB: if you have osx86 tools, you can use that too ...

Is this update worth the risk or is it even really worth it to update? I always seem to screw up my computer when I update =P ( Im using 10.5.5 right now )

every update is (in some ways) worth it. If you are affected by the list of fixes from 10.5.5 then you should... otherwise it isn't as necessary. But it isn't that difficult to do. If you've got a little knowledge about your system and have tinkered with OS X AND read the forum posts lately about it then it won't hurt you to update.

It is normal for sound and video to not be fully supported right after an update since Apple may introduce new kexts that replace the ones modified by the hackintosh user in the past. Just make sure you save all the "special" kexts that you needed in order to get your system working to where it is now. Then you won't have a problem when you reboot back in and have to fix them.

I'm using Darwin bootloader non-EFI. I tried PC_EFI v8 a few days before but it says it doesn't support MBR partitions. Also using Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0.

UPDATE: Installed PC_EFI v9 without a hitch. now its time for the 10.5.6 update.

I restored my GUID boot loader reinstalling Zephyroth Leopard on my testing partition. It fixed the boot problem for my PC

Just finished updating my AMD machine to 10.5.6, but I'm now having problems with the video driver.

I tried the EFIStudio string install but the machien gives me a blank screen (mouse freezes). Removed it using single user from com.apple.Boot.plist file and it loads fine though no nVidia driver installed. Tried the old NVinject.kext and the NVdarwin.kext but doesn't work as well.

Any help to point me in the right direction is appreciated.

Over time I've updated PC successfully with updates patched by bhast2 to 10.5.5 (Kernel 10.5.4) It is a perfectly working system. Today I've tried to prepare PC for 10.5.6 installation using biird way (comment 22) and it resulted in booting problem:

boot0: GPT
boot0: HFS+
boot0: booting
boot0: done
HFS+ partition error

No booting. Differently from biird I didn't have woodoo kernel. Is it necessary? Surely I've missed the development of OSx86 regarding new ways of booting. Is there resources for problem like mine? Or maybe there will be patched version of 10.5.6 or won't be anymore patched updates?

P.S. I'm doing initial updates to a testing version of Leo on different partition which is however is on the same disk as my working Leo.

Me too started from a Zeph's 10.5.2, partitioned an HD in GUID and then upgraded always with Zeph's ASU.
All went always fine, my pc is triple booting in XP (default), Vista32 and Leopard with the easybcd bootloader 1.72.
Never tried other booting methods 'cause all was perfect until this 10.5.6 update...
XP and Vista are on a physical HD, Leo is on another HD partitioned in 3 partition:
Leopard (system), Programs and Archive (in GUID).
I use to make image backups with disk Utility from installation dvd disk and when i have problems i restore hd image from DiskUtility so no problem for return back to a functional system.
I tried to upgrade to 10.5.6 with pcwiz utilities, installing PCEfi v9 and DSTD patch.. no errors, but on reboot i had a boot0 error..
I can even try with XP bootloader, cause i'm reinstalling Xp without Vista, and at the moment my 10.5.5 work perfectly with it.
Way out?
