:D

Before you update read this

Yeah, I expected it to appear any day, or any hour now. Just checked a couple of hours ago. It's here, installing ... we'll see soon how it goes.

I'm currently installing onto my MacBook Pro, though, I'm not quite brave enough to install onto my Hack just right now. I'll leave you guys to be the guinea pigs for the moment ;)

I logged into my hack machine from work and started pulling the update.

Im crossing my fingers :eek:

All great here, like a charm, on intel box though. I will update my amd box soon also. Here is a screenshot.

Working great here on AMD

The update went all good for me, but i'm having lag with mouse and moving windows, it seems that everything is hanging after a couple seconds?

Anyone experiencing the same problems?

CI/QE still supported for ya?

make sure to follow this guide
http://leo4all.com/2008/12/15/apple-1056-requirements/

and you will be fine

I wasn't sure if the comment was directed at me so I thought I would chime back... I am currently installing the update myself right now... (waiting to restart) so I'll come back to report the success in a minute.

I've had my system ready since the v6.1 came out for the modified boot-132 munky created. I was simply asking P-J about his system to help find out why its so jumpy.

BRB. Hitting restart.

that wasn't pointed at you it was just people need to really follow the guide or they can break their system because stuff has changed in 10.5.6 you just can't update you need things to update and some people don't know that yet

Yes it is, i'm using NVdarwin 1.2.4

done installing. works great. I just have to re-setup my sound but no biggie.

You dont have any problems with lag?
Because im thinking its the hdd kext because also with a EFI string im having the same problem.
But only when heavy disk usage...

And since we got the same pc...

just two questions...

1)May i use pcwiz's Universal OSx86 Installer in order to install pcefi v9 and DSDT Patcher GUI to install dstd patch? that's enough to install upgrade?

2)what about kernel? is there a new one inside the 10.5.6?
Zephyrot's ASU is it still working for kernel's upgrade blocking?

Thanks 2 all

Just updated my Intel-hack... so far everything seems fine..

Great, just in time for Christmas...:p
ASU spit back at me while patching the 10.5.6 installer. Is such patching needed or can I go unpatched with this one?

EDIT: I also can't get Rapidshare to work right so I can't download PC_EFI V9...heeeeelp! Pretty please? :(

well I'm using the old nForce Test kext because I disliked the way the new one (that supports RAM > 4GB) handles my SATA DVD-RW. You're probably on to something though... but as I don't use the new one I can't say for sure.

A little confused
 

Is there a guide on installing Chameleon? How do I do this?

Do I already have to have Chameleon installed before using this:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132757

Or will that install Chameleon?

hmmm all seems good to me after I replaced the seatbelt.kext because it caused Kernel panics when I mounted any disk image. No window lagging on my Dell Inspiron 531.

I don`t use vanilla kernel, it means I can`t update?

Athlon 64 3000+ btw

I'm on an AMD w/ Voodoo 9.5 Kernel and I am posting from 10.5.6. I downloaded and installed the Universal OSX86 Installer and selected Install PC_EFI v9. After that, I downloaded and used the DSDT Patcher GUI and selected all the options. After that, I backed up some kexts and data to be safe and then got the 10.5.6 Update from Software Update (not the ASU; I got an error every time I tried).

After restart, it booted! I had to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext with my old kext because About This Mac would force a logout, but that all I needed to do to get 10.5.6 working for me :)

biird, thanks for your instructions. I only needed to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext and video card drivers.

I've just tried the 'original' nforce test kext, but im still having the same problem.
And i think its something else, because im only having the problem when itunes and or quicktime is open...


The seatbelt.kext is the same as 10.5.5?
Edit: looks the same, its different :p
And which version of the AppleNForceATA kext are you using?
Thnx :)

Just installed on my intel.
Most things seem okay but the bluetooth kexts are a bit dodgy to say the least. (solved by replacing with ones from 10.5.5)

updated AMD machine(followed netkas instructions). Everything seems to be ok. Except for there's no info in hardware section and "About this mac" shows Core 2 Duo @ 3.7 Ghz. Is this because of new AppleSMBIOS.kext? Can anyone PM me old one from 10.5.5?

Thanks!

Thanks for this good handy explanation.
I did it the exact same way and had no problems at all updating my AMD-System !

steffx

I installed 10.5.4 retail with boot-132 and I wanted to use the EFI partition way, but somehow it won't boot. I'm still using the boot132 CD and booting fine in a completely vanilla install. I did the 10.5.6 update without modifying anything and everything is ok. Booted fine from the first time and is running strong. Only if I could boot with the EFI partition and not the CD would be great.

Installed the update like what was posted above. But sound was gone :(, will try to reinstall acl883 kext..

AppleNForceATA:

kext Version: 1.0.3
Load Address: 0x344e2000
Valid: Yes
Authentic: Yes
Dependencies: Satisfied
Integrity: Unknown

are you using the pure boot-132 bootloader or the one modified by munky?

biird, you deserve some holiday cookies for that post. I'd been burned trying to install 10.5.6 the first time and had to format and reinstall from 10.5.2.
From there, I downloaded the combo update and along with biird's explanation and AMD Patcher 0.31 got updated to 10.5.6.
I didn't have any SMBIOS troubles, but my USB keyboard's not working at the Darwin prompt. No biggie. I also had to replace seatbelt.kext and System.kext to get disk image mounting and Time Machine going again.

My processor's a 2.6 GHz AMD though. Guess I'm gonna have to fix up the aesthetics manually. :p

I'm using now munky's EFI partition way :) Working perfectly here.

My hackbook(Acer Aspire 5100, turion 64 x2 tl-56) is now up and running in 10.5.6

There was one kext which gave me kernel panic... it took a while before I realized which kext it was, but it was an old kext which I didn´t need, after I removed that one the system started.
Then it was just to fix qe+ci & audio.

And Chunnans pccard solution is not working for me anymore, I guess I just need to modify some numbers of the plist in the kext, will look at that later.

Now I just hope the Voodoo team will continue working with the kernel, and release a 10.5.6 in a few weeks...

I wanted to ask before I update to 10.5.6 if the PC_EFI v9 bootloader works with an MBR partition?

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.

I have MBR and Leo4All and Voodoo doesn't work :-(
In a few days, I will change the partition table and will use Parallels for Windows.

If somebody has the window lag problem when using iTunes + Quicktime, it can be fixed by restoring the 10.5.5 video kext's.

If you need them, please don't hesitate to send me a private message.

Solved the problem for me :)

Can someone take a look at this problem for me?

My preparation to 10.5.6 was unsuccessful. I have an AMD PC with Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 (initial) and GUID boot loader from same installation disk. 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.

Kerenel Panic
 

After updating to 10.5.6 I get a kernel panic when launching a virtual machine in VMware Fusion. Also another one when I try updating Camino. Is this due to a mismatch between the kernel and System version? Im using the Voodoo 9.5 kernel.

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 ...

Installed the kext and I'm rockin!

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.

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

installed okey but ps/2 port not work,will try again when buy usb keyboard+mouse

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.

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?

new voodoo it's seems to be okey and now it's not need to asu
i've install original apple update
