Download the 10.5.6 combo update, and make sure to not let it install /mach_kernel. Also don't let it overwrite any kexts you may need to have your system up and running.

It's pretty simple, really.
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 (9L30) | Chameleon 2.0 RC3 | Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz 800Mhz FSB HyperThread 1MB L2 cache SSE3 1MB L2 cache works, cosmetic display of 512KB L2 cache | Asus P4V8X-MX VIA Chipset, VIA-VT8237 Southbridge | AC97 VIA8237 | Dual 1GB 333Mhz DDR SDRAM | nVidia PNY GeForce 7600GS 512MB 8x AGP DVI/TV-Out/VGA [NVinject 0.2.1; QE/CI/QuartzGL/Rotation] | Darwin Kernel Version 9.7.0: Sun Jun 14 20:48:28 IST 2009; Voodoo 2.0 Intel alpha3 :xnu-1228.12.14/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386

Backing up you Extensions Folder
1. Give yourself root privileges so that you can modify files.
Code:
sudo -s
2. Make a backup copy of your kexts. First we will make a directory called "backup" in our root directory to store them. Open Terminal and type:
Code:
mkdir /backup
3. Change directories to /System/Library This will shorten some of the commands we have to type in.
Code:
cd /System/Library
4. Copy your kexts to the new "backup" folder.
Code:
cp -r Extensions/ /backup


Backing up your kernel
1. Make a backup copy of your existing kernel and name it mach_kernel.backup
Code:
cp -r /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.backup

Please provide us with some specifications about your system (CPU, Motherboard, Graphics & Model Number if applicable). Adding more specific information allows us to respond quickly with more precise answers. Chipset, LAN, Audio & If your Graphics are integrated or not, are excellent additions.

You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. How to edit your signature: http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars
