10.6.5 is avaible via Softwareupdate...
|
My update was ~500mb. It was trouble free, and here is the full change list :
- improve reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers - address performance of some image-processing operations in iPhoto and Aperture - address stability and performance of graphics applications and games - resolve a delay between print jobs - address a printing issue for some HP printers connected to an AirPort Extreme - resolve an issue when dragging contacts from Address Book to iCal - address an issue where dragging an item from a stack causes the Dock to not automatically hide - resolve an issue with Wikipedia information not displaying correctly in Dictionary - improve performance of MainStage on certain Mac systems - resolve spacing issues with OpenType fonts - improve reliability with some Bluetooth braille displays - resolve a VoiceOver issue when browsing some web sites with Safari 5 Oh, and we have a new kernel, Darwin 10.5.0 so don't forget to back up yours. |
Hello,
Does the xnu mach_kernel 10.5.0 work with amd too? Would be really great to know. Greets |
I have yet to try it with my amd setup, experienced some trouble with my macbook pro 3.1 though.
It installs a new boot.efi so once i lipo'ed the new kernel i got some boot trouble, but replacing it with the old hacked one did the trick and i have a full 64 bit system again now and working wifi:) |

But if you're willing to experiment a bit you can use a older amd kernel with it, might break something though(last time around apf did). |
OK. Succesfully did it through Software-Update. :)
Andy's v5 rework of 10.4.0 legacy XNU is still working fine, after patching out a few CPUIDs + sysenter traps from libSystem.B*.dylib files: ATI Framebuffer drivers have been reworked, but working without issues. There are two new ATI Framebuffer called "Nomascus" und "Orangutan". ATI 5XXX owners who haven't yet been able to make their cards to work, should give those a try. Anyway I'm pissed off... ^_^ Stupid USB drivers stoped working after Update - I had to restore old versions of IOUSBFamily.kext & IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from 10.6.4 - Due to lack of a keyboard I can't post my dmesg - but these lines are present in system.log Code:
Nov 11 00:41:12 XYZs-Mac com.apple.kextd[12]: Failed to load /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBOHCI.kext - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed. Quote:
Apple hasn't released the source code for 10.6.5, yet. Once it is avaible there is the possibility to start working on porting the current kernel patches to the latest kernel version. (And maybe to fix USB drivers as well. :D) |
i can confirm, usb stop working after update, :/ thats strange
|
Out of curiosity, what GPU do you use imkantus?
I've been forced to use the macmini drivers with the patched ATY_init.kext with my 5750, any upgrades in the past has messed up the framebuffer for me? I guess I'll wait with upgrading to 10.6.5 until the USB issue has been addressed although using the old kexts shouldn't be too much of an issue for now? About your dmesg, have you tried to ssh into it from another computer?</captain obvious> I don't know if this is a kernel related issue as I used the 10.5.3 kernel on my mbp earlier after installing the 10.6.5update and usb was working fine, anyhow thats just pure guess work on my part. Also, safari seems to be a bit snappier after this update, could just be my imagination though. |

I have just put 10.6.5 to my Asus eee PC 900A (Intel Atom N270). I am using latest 10.5.0 binpatched Kernel made teateam: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=197020 I am fine using 10.5.0 XNU, but once I am using 10.4.0 I have the same USB problems like on the AMD machine. So I think this issue is actually Kernel related... I have attached dmesg from the netbook, made using 10.4.0 legacy kernel by nawcom for larger dmesg log space (same situation using 10.4.0 binpatched Kernel). So those of you who cannot boot Darwin 10.5.0 yet, should make a back-up of 10.6.4 IOUSBFamily.kext & IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext before update!!! Would be nice if some other people who have 10.6.5 upgraded Hacks could try booting 10.4.0 XNU to prove or disprove this. :) Quote:
As far as I figured out and read in IRC, latest drivers work pretty much the same as those from "10.6.4 Graphics Update v1" did. Anyway if you are fine using those drivers from MacMini Image, make a back-up of the following 3 kext files before update ATI5000Controller.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext & ATISuppor.kext and use them in combination with latest ATIRadeonX3000.kext from 10.6.5 Update - should work. :cool: Quote:

Thanks, that did the trick, got a fully functional system now, and afp works too.
Let's just hope apple releases the kernel sources quickly so we can take advantage of the new kernel and hopefully bring even better support for us AMD users:) EDIT: It seems I spoke too soon, with -force64 i can't run 32bitcode, uhm could you in depth describe the patching procedure please? EDIT It seems like this upgrade installed a new /usr/lib/dyld, replacing it with a prepatched one did the trick. |

When you are using Andy's v4 or v5 Patch Kernel you do not need to patch /usr/lib/dyld itself, only the bindings. Use the tool posted by Andy to do so, copy amd_insn_patcher to /usr/sbin then use the following Syntax: amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib ~/Desktop/libSystem.B.dylib amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B_debug.dylib ~/Desktop/libSystem_debug.B.dylib amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib ~/Desktop/libSystem.B_profile.dylib Last two ones are only present if Xcode is installed on your system. The patched files will appear on your Desktop, use "open /usr/lib" on Terminal to open the folder, open Disk-Utility, replace the three files by dropping them into /usr/lib by Finder. Select your harddrive in Disk-Utility and run Repair Permissions Task, wait till it is done and reboot. After reboot open Terminal again and run the following command: sudo update_dyld_shared_cache Now for the AMD users out there, there are still CPUIDs left to patch, this can be done using amd_insn_patcher too, but this is laborious, so I have made a cpuid.txt that only needs to be dropped onto Maxxus Patcher GUI Icon - get it from the attachment. (Note that you will need to patch more files than those in that file, if you are going to use pure legacy i386 mode / without -force64) :) This is what is giving me a fully working AMD system. :cool: |
Same symptoms plus a few
USB not working, wireless not working, bluetooth input not working.
|
I am getting hard freeze (no panic screen, just mouse freeze) after the update
how to diagnose it? edit: I think it might be with Parallels 6... I've updated to the latest version and try it again.. will edit post if it still hangs Also has anyone got stuck in 10.6.4 and printer not work after the update? |
USB Problems
For all of you that cant get your mice etc working, Just download these kexts provided by nawcom and put them in Extra/Extensions. (Make sure to run pfix afterwards)
|
Updated from combo downloaded. USB issue solved re-installed 10.6.4 kexts IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext. Fixed permissions. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/sty...t/rolleyes.gif
Snow Leopard 10.6.5, Leopard 10.5.8, Win7 GA-MA770-DS3, AMD SB700, AMD64 5600+, GF-9500GT, Realtek ALC888, Realtek 8111C, IEEE 1394a, 2x2GB 800 DDR2, Sata AHCI Seagate ST31000528AS |
I noticed i don't get the good old firewire error in the boot up process, but without limiting the cpu count from 4 to 3 it's stil acting up, the buffer(on my presonus firebox) keeps going all over the place and lose streams all the time, but oh well i guess I just have to live with it.

Hello,
Do you use the updated legacy_kernel? Does anyone use the anv qoopz kernel rel4 with updated dyld? Does anyone have a radeon 5xxx series and run a benchmark with it? Would be really interessting if the card is faster then before? Greets |

I hope you can make these things clearer to me. Usually I install on a vanilla system and I don’t want to have problems when I update to 10.6.6. |

AMD CPU don't support SYSENTER Opcode, what is leading pure 32-Bit Apps into crash when running 64-Bit mode and causing some other problems, this resolves this issue. Quote:

Thanks, now I understand why to use force64.
So the command for the dlyd is always the same, so I can make a script that makes this after every update and don’t have to care anymore about it? Btw. Are there any plans when we get auto patching for CPUID and dlyd? Edit: I just booted my System with -force64 without any more patching and it works much better. 32 Bit apps are crashing so I need to do what you described. |
Nooooooooooo :(
Video broke for my vanilla install. QE/CI finally worked for me in 10.6.4 with my GTX 260, now all I get when I boot is a blue screen. :'( |
well done!
[quote=Imkantus;51373]Well here comes the -force64 Guide. :D
Thank your guide solved perfectly Iphoto 11 import crashing problem |
Hello,
I want to update my dyld shared cache but everytime i try it with command sudo update_dyld_shared_cache it says "unkown command": :( Does anybody knows this problem and know how to solve it? Would be really great if someone can help me. ;) Thx & Greetz |
@ wastez
have you checked the "/usr/bin" folder ? the "update_dyld_shared_cache" file should be there |
Hello,
I´m not @ home but i think yesterday i looked for it and i wasn´t able to find it. But i didn´t remove the file. Can anyone can copy the file??? Thx & greetz |
