Mac OS X 10.5.7 Released

[Ali C.]

This update's probably a piece of cake for Intel Hacks.
And fair enough Hara.
And AMD Software Update tripped on it, so I'm going to have to download the Vanilla version and manually patch it. Bleh lol.

Using OS X 10.5.7 now, works great w/GFX update!

The SATA drive came in. And it took me from a minute to boot OS X to 2 seconds. W00t.
Anyway, I'm gonna install the update like Hara did. AFTER I use Carbon Copy Cloner on my partition of course.

1) Downloaded standalone install and patched it with zephyroth AMD patcher 3.1

2) After install I rebooted into single user ( -s ) and removed the nvidia drivers (rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV* & rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*).

3) rebooted into safebot (-x) and install graphics drivers for my 6800xt. I also install audio drivers & nforcelan kext with kext helper just to be sure.

4) rebooted into single user mode again ( -s ) and applied my Dev. ID to NVDAN40.kext & NVDAResman.kext and rebooted with 'reboot -l'.

And that was that. Everything is working fine now.

SPECS:
Gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2G
AMD 3800+
1 SATA SAMSUNG Super Write Master
1 ATA SAMSUNG Super Write Master
PCIE 6800xt 256
3 GB @ 677
iPC 10.5.6

!!!UPDATE!!! iPod no long mounting.

I have realized that My iPod is no longer being mounted on my desktop or in disk utility. System Profiler sees it which is weird, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know

!!!UPDATE #2!!!
Ok so I obviously jumped the gun on this one. Right now No DMG's are mounting and neither is my ipod. I tried to replace a few kexts files (AppleHDA, Seatbelt, System, AppleInterPower...,) and a few others but nothing helped. I will be performing ARCHIVE AND INSTALL which will go a little somethin like this ..

1) boot to install dvd
2) open terminal from utilities menu on install DVD
3) Use 'rm -Rf' command to remove all files & folders but /Users & Applications
4) reinstall.

Hopefully I can find a proper guide on how to install for AMD. I have not found one good guide other than people saying "i did this... i did that... " with no steps or guidance of any sort on how they accomoplished this. I am not new to OSX86 but im am certainly not an expert. If some one has suggestions please let me know.

Unfortunately, I'd made a near-fatal mistake when I installed the update with Pacifist. I unselected one too many things, causing OS X to gawk and hang up instead of boot (curse you, BootCache!). Not wanting to dig up the lone, delicate install CD (which is mandatory for restoring a Carbon Copy Cloner image on a failed Hack lol) I went with another idea and whipped out the old drive I just replaced and reinstalled the update to the new drive, followed by all the needed kexts. Rebooted into the new drive, and presto! Works fine. Saved half an hour that way.
The moral of the story - with this update, it's better to uncheck too few kexts than too many, so be careful and if you're not sure leave the sucker checked. Happy updating!

hello all,
i have succsefully updated my iPC 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 following the netkas method (the simple one). all i had to do is patch my sound again and that was it. System seems a little more responsive.

Not everyone shares your system, so please don't post this type of info. There is more than this that needs to be done for most.
