ASU able to patch 10.5.5?
 

Is ASU able to patch 10.5.5? I've tried it multiple times and each time after rebooting, I receive an error: "InterfaceNamer: no network interfaces, could not update platform UUID"

It's like 10.5.5 blows away my network interface. I'm going to try patching it again, but I'm not holding my breath that it will work. If it doesn't work, does anyone have a pre-patched package of 10.5.4 so I can upgrade from 10.5.2?

So it boots fine, you just have no network?

Are you sure you don't need to re-install any drivers?

I've been saving the updates as I create them from ASU...

I would update them one at a time instead of a combo update (more stable with less changes for each). Just make sure you are using an EFI or Chameleon bootloader.

EDIT: sites for software moved.

I got it to upgrade. I guess there is an order to how I built my machine. I started with a clean install of 10.5.2, got all my drivers installed, then ran all the updates except for the 10.5.5. update. Then ran that update, and it worked. I was using a patched package that I had saved previously, and it was probably the culprit.

We should probably make a sticky of nfoav8or's post with the "pre-patched" updates though. That's good stuff to have.

Thanks for your help! Forums like this make everything easier!

If someone needs a package to update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5,send me a message.I remember that I have that patched package somewhere in my Library/HDDs ;)

Hi, can you please post back the link?

Thanks.

What do i need to do? kernel? drivers?

Currently on leo4allv4.1 with bronya drivers...

Can I have a PM with the link please? :-D

I have a 9850 phenom
8600gt
biostar t790gx

Tried updating while having v2 of voodoo loaded w/ the patch and it installs great.....
but...

On restart it hangs for hours! never boots :( so sad. I will just stick to 10.5.4 until I install it on another drive to test further.

Initial boot was LawlessPPC 10.5.4

one way to circumvent this is (if your system is already 10.5.4) to download the 10.5.5 single update from apple and place the ".pkg" file in your downloads folder (this way, at least you know its downloaded properly) then run ASU and DON'T select the 10.5.5 update... select a different update.

NOTE: The 10.5.5 update has caused quite an uproar with select people's systems and no matter how they obtain a copy of a Patched update (that works on someone else's machine) they might not get it to work on theirs.

Thanks for that reply, I domt quite understand fully though. I can install every other update cleanly right from the update machine, but when I tried 10.5.5 I had an endless loading screen. Are you telling me to dl the update and stick it into asu? Is that possible? Or am I reading this all wrong.

Thanks again for the help!!

I'm telling you to follow naquaada's helpful hint to using ASU to build working updates from already-downloaded-from-Apple software.

see here for this topic.

it doesn't require you to put anything IN the AMD Software Update, just your Downloads folder... make sure you drag the .pkg file from the image you downloaded from Apple to it. Then run ASU but select to modify a different update and it will download that update to your Downloads folder and move BOTH .pkg file updates to a temporary folder to modify them separately. you should then be able to install 10.5.5. Also, note that you should have at least a 9.4 kernel and system.kext file before you can update successfully. Too many people notice glitches in their systems after the update if they don't do this. The latest beta voodoo kernel and 9.5 system.kext file work just as good for myself too.

Again, thanks for the timely responses. How do I check if I have 9.5 system kext? I know I'm using voodoo beta 2 but I'm not certain as to my kext. If you could send me that and the asu (already sent you a pm for that) I would greatley appreciate it.

And again, thanks for your help. I can't help but to notice you posting a lot of assistance.

See this post to check your kernel/system.kext status:

Yeah, I'm on here a lot and have been doing this for a few years now and while I wouldn't say I'm an expert or anything, I figured I'd share what knowledge I do have on the subject with the community.

two things.

1) what if the only update in there is 10.5.5 (I already moved my stuff to Downloads folder but the only update in ASU is 10.5.5

2) My 8600gt flickers a lot I noticed. I have nvInject and what not and my stuff is working fine, but i feel like its not up to standards.

Thanks again!!

Ok, I had an update after I installed Logic Pro. I downloaded a fresh copy of the 10.5.5 update and then put it in downloads, selected only one of those updates and that's it. Hit modify only, it said, no need to patch blah blah no CPUID's found. Is that normal?

Which update did you select? Did it produce a log folder on your desktop?

I selected some logic pro update and yes, but I may have deleted it...eeek. I'm so bad at this.
