Complete Updates for Newbies and All -- Currently 10.5.5 Combo (Only Intel CPUs)

[Nanael]

I have try to boot with an external monitor and reinstal post combo update. And I've seen that I haven't check the driver for my VGA... so all are working but my computer is slow...

 

thank you

[ Mysticus C*]

geforce: i m kind of sure that you are doing some steps wrong...

 

Before Going for COMBO UPDATE DO THIS

 

STAGE 1

install this package with the following options

nforce ata darwin: nforce ata

usb fixes-> usb mount fix-> voodoo beta 2c

 

RESTART

 

After RESTART,

 

STAGE 2

 

you will use 1.1.5 combo patches...

 

1) pre patch for nforce (no restart)

2) combo update (no restart)

3) post patch with setting below (no restart)

kernel-> vanilla kernel (this will install correct vanilla acpi and apic which should work)

audio-> restore

network-> restore

video-> no selection

chipset-> no selection

system-> smbios: mac pro, unselect acpi option here...

 

4) run the nforce driver package (the one you downloaded in STAGE 1 again and make selections below

nforce ata darwin: nforce ata

nvdarwin gfx: step1 + step2 with 512 mb + (if you want you can select additional tools as well)

usb fixes-> usb mount fix-> voodoo beta2

 

RESTART NOW,

WAIT PATIENTLY, it will restart one more time!

Once restart the second time, it should be working NOW

 

antaeus: your computer is relatively old specs, I cant do anything about it...

[Nanael]

but befor he wasn't slow. just after the update...

[ABuNeNe]

Kept getting this error:

 

 

Any mirrors site?

[ Mysticus C*]

antaeus: you most likely have done wrong choices or you have other problems... since you i have no clue what you have done, i cant say anytg, good luck... dont let me fncking insult you if you want help from me... provide information, and define the problem properly!

 

abunene: you noob, delete that damn link from your post, the reason why you are getting that message is probably you are using a public network or something, like school? library? or i dont know, may be like it said browser...

[Panarchy]

panarchy:

kernel-9.5.0 vanilla or 9.4.0 stagexnu

chipset- ichx ahci (if ahci enabled for all devices) or ichx non ahci (if ahci is not enabled--esp when you have jmicron with no ahci setting)

audio-restore

network-restore

system-smbios: mac pro, uncheck acpi if vanilla kernel selected else leave it selected,

 

you should be good to go... but make sure you follow the order of steps, a b c

 

Okay. Thanks

[Panarchy]

Question:

 

The 9,5,1 Vanilla Kernel... will it work for me?

[tdxgxcjg]

from my signature can anyone help me which all options i should check in the customize section of post update patch (if the details are not sufficient do let me know what i am missing)

any help is much appreciated thank you

[Panarchy]

My computer no longer boots

 

Some help here please.

 

I don't get kernel panic, it is just one the roller thing (under the apple logo) aka the bootscreen, and the thing is spinning like normal (but doesn't boot up).

 

Left it running for about 4 hours, to no avail.

 

Please help me in getting it to work again.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Panarchy

 

PS: I selected;

 

kernel-9.5.0 vanilla

chipset- ichx ahci

audio-restore

network-restore

system-smbios: mac pro,

unchecked acpi (it said Apple in front of it if I remember correctly)

 

And I did run the pre update thing and the post update thing before restarting.

 

PPS: Oh, when I did restart, it couldn't restart properly, got kernel panic.

[GeForce 8800]

Mysticus: Thanks for the great advice, I'm going to try it out right now, I'll keep you posted.

 

I have never done Stage 1. So Let's hope that it works.

[kasros]

Hi MysticusC, tks for the help. As I'm using an original Mac (Mac Pro), I'll sell the board because there is no way I can use it. Tks.

[tdxgxcjg]

@panarchy

 

try this im not sure if it will work though

 

on boot press f8

then type update -v

[GeForce 8800]

Mysticus: I'm sorry, this time the computer froze at the installation of the official update (76%). I didn't had the chance to start the post combo update.

 

I followd your steps correctly (Stage 1 and Stage 2), but with no results. I guess my computer just isn't up for the task.

 

Anyway thanks for all you effort in helping me out and maybe some other nForce users.

 

I hope you understand the situation a bit and maybe you see an other solution?

 

Grtz GeForce.

Thanks.

 

Have tried that, and got the following difference, of the 4 lines I mentioned before, the 3rd last and 4th last (up the list, not at bottom of list) had changed. They had changed to the following;

 

[JMicronATA: JMB353 (CMD 0xec00, CTR 0xe880, IRQ 16, BM 0xe400)

I've looked through all 45 pages of this topic and I can't find a difinitive working solution for the PS/2 problem. I currently have no keyboard or trackpad working. I have to use an external USB mouse to get around. Can anyone help?

[Panarchy]

You do know that you can buy a USB keyboard for under $5... don't you?

[mojoj]

Just did the 10.5.5 update on a fresh Kalyway 10.5.2 install. I downloaded the 1.1.5 patch, did the pre update patch, then the combo, then the post update but I could not find the customize option anywhere so I just hit install. Then I rebooted and it got to the apple logo where it stayed for some 15 minutes so I manually rebooted. The second time it booted fine and everything is now working great, the PS/2 keyboard is working, even my flash drives are being mounted . The only thing I can find that's wrong is that my processor is recognized as 4GHz and not 2.4GHz, but I dont mind that. Just wanted to say thanks to Mysticus C .

 

My machine:

C2D E4500

Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L

Geil Ultra 2x1GB

Palit GF8600GT Sonic+

 

Edit: I spoke too soon , restart/shutdown doesn't work, and no Quartz extreme/Core image.

 

Update: I found the customize button . Everything works.

[ericware]

Mysticus: Sorry for wasting your time .. I was able to fix it .. I just needed to type update -v -x -z and it went to mac flawlessly. Thanks for your effort anyway.

[Matt Thompson Rockethouse]

OK for anyone who is curious.

 

I haven't tested 100% and hammered the system yet, but it's all looking good so far.

 

I just updated directly from my 6months+ 100% working Kalyway 10.5.1 STRAIGHT TO 10.5.5 using the official Apple Combo Update 10.5.5, and Mysticus's excellent tool.

 

I followed the instructions exactly, ran the pre script, ran the combo update, ran the post installer and selected carefully, in my case, vanilla 9.5.1 kernel, restore audio, update Yukon (my yukon works but has a tendency to start up in 100mbit instead of 1000mbit so I thought I'd try over-the-top here to see if it fixes anything), selected NVInject 256mb for my 7600GT (exact same as I had working in my Kalyway originally), unticked the AHCI but ticked the other vanilla ACPI option.

 

Rebooted, first reboot spun on the grey screen then rebooted again automatically. Second reboot straight in to 10.5.5. Everything seems to be working, and just updated to the more recent software update items available from apple.

 

FYI this is an Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi/AP, 2.66 Core 2 Duo, 7600GT, 2gb ram, Asus 1226 firmware.

 

I had been putting off this update for ages for fear of breaking my working Kalyway setup, but recently managed to get a 100% successful method for cloning the OS to other disks, made 3 working copies of this Kalyway setup so figured I could risk the update.

 

Just wanna say a big THANKYOU! to Mysticus, w00t what a great job.

[tdxgxcjg]

Hi all, just wanted to say thanks to Mysticus C for this package, I've been trying to update off and on for a while now using different methods and they all resulted in a reinstall of OSX.

 

Thanks again...JYD

NYC2atl: what options did you select in the post combo update? i have the same motherboard and an evga 8600GT 256mb graphics card, and I am having problems getting the update running correctly. My base is a leo4all 10.5.2 installation. I get the first reboot, and on the second it goes to the grey screen with the spinning wheel. After 20 seconds or so, the wheel stops spinning and everything freezes. I'm must do a hard reset, as nothing happens even after leaving the computer in that state for hours.

 

I've tried several kernels and switches, all with no luck, using Mysticus' 1.1.5 update. A list of your options will be helpful since you have the same MB.
