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.

Would be really great to know.

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

Most likely, no.
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.
Nov 11 00:41:12 XYZs-Mac com.apple.kextd[12]: Load com.apple.driver.AppleUSBOHCI failed; removing personalities.
Nov 11 00:41:12 XYZs-Mac com.apple.kextd[12]: Failed to load /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed.
Nov 11 00:41:12 XYZs-Mac com.apple.kextd[12]: Load com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEHCI failed; removing personalities.
Nov 11 00:41:16 XYZs-Mac mtversionlog[72]: SWU: system version changed from 10.6.4 (10F569) to 10.6.5 (10H574)
Nov 11 00:41:16 XYZs-Mac bootlog[67]: BOOT_TIME: 1289432462 0
It seems there are others having the same trouble... - maybe this problem related to using an previous version of XNU Kernel, but I currently don't have the equipment for giving this a try...

Ofcourse unpatched / vanilla Kernel does not work on AMD. For the moment you will have to use 10.4.0 patched Kernel with 10.6.5 - I'd recommend you to back-up your Kernel Extensions etc as well.

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. )

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.

It ain't strange - it sucks.

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.

Well I am still on the RV730 GPU / HD4650 card mentioned in my signature. It currently fits my needs, so no reason to buy a 5000 series card yet.
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.

I have no problems using 10.6.4 kexts so far, but i prefer solutions instead of work-arounds.

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.
