Pretty disastrous here, I'm afraid.

 

Install is full retail 10.5.6 using PC EFI v9 and an /Extra folder. The update appears to install fine, but upon reboot I get a kernel panic that's related to audio. Safe boot works, so I took my 10.5.6 AppleHDA.kext and put it back inside the regular Extensions folder instead of what was there.

 

Now, instead of a kernel panic, I get a timeout on IOKitWaitQuiet; in visual terms that means a grey screen with spinning lines, then a switch to a completely black screen that doesn't change (at least for five minutes, which is as long as I was prepared to wait). Can't understand this, since a lot of the IO kexts are in /Extra and that's always worked before (decently quick boot times, in fact).

 

So much for full retail and PC EFI v9 being the 'update-proof' way of installing. I'd have been better off with a Kalyway or iDeneb hack than this...

 

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? My spec is Gigabyte P35-DS3P with an nVidia 8800GT, 4Gb RAM and a Q6600 CPU.

 

Discy

 

that´s what makes me angry about osx install.

So many users running retail and bannnggg crash at updating.

Of course it happens all the time with no retail installs, but as we can see, there is a lot of non-retail users that the update was just fine. I will try to apply the delta offline update at my ideneb 10.5.6 later. I will post the result here.

yep, so far so good.

 

downloaded the delta update and run it, install, restart with -v -f then auto-reboot, then OK. No need to reinstall audio or anything. I´m going to test the video card in my 3d program. But ok here. I was using ideneb 10.5.6 vanilla 9.4.0 kernel.

Hi all,

 

Are there any "bad axe 2" users with successful 10.5.7 updates? if so, what's your setup? any glitches?

 

I'm somewhat hesitant (still) on this update. I have both the delta and combo updates ready for install but I'm waiting on any major issues found on this mother board.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

 

Thanks.

Before you upgrade to 10.5.7, make sure you have these kexts in the extensions folder:

According to my Software Update Mac Os X Update 10.5.7 is available for download. I'm currently downloading it now and will give it a try. I'm waiting to download it as System Update is telling me it'll take 25+ hours to download a 500meg file. Perhaps the servers are getting slammed now.

 

Is it available for anyone else? I can't find it on Apple's website.

 

I have downloaded and installed

If you don´t for some reason absolutely need to update to 10.5.7 just stick with the 10.5.6, save your energy and wait for snowleo. I´ve had 10.5.7 installed and up running but could see no reason what so ever to keep it, gave me nothing but trouble and my computer has never performed as bad as with that one. 10.5.6 is the best so far.

Works great for me!:) Anyone with the same hardware I can help...

Still have a few more things to try, for getting video working, but it never was in IDeneb 10.5.6...

Hi all,

 

Are there any "bad axe 2" users with successful 10.5.7 updates? if so, what's your setup? any glitches? Thanks.

As you can see from my sig, I have great success running with 10.5.7 on my (3 similar) badaxe2 systems. With the right processor, the badaxe2 will still rival most of the genuine macs out there (not counting the 8 core systems) and still have to flexibility of a pc.

 

Using Chameleon 2 and a retail disk, most functionality is native. Originally I chose to use nvinject v2.1 for video, but now I'm using an EFI string added to my com.apple.Boot.plist file in my extras folder. I do have to use taruga's audio fix, but that's the only thing that needs to be changed from vanilla to run very, very well. Of course, if you'd like, you can make cosmetic changes via strings like 'AboutThisMac.strings', but that is totally for looks...not for functionality.

 

I installed a 10.5 retail disk and it accepts all updates etc. up to 10.5.7 with no apparent glitches.

Strangest update ever...

So I launched the software update app provided by the iDeneb install(Zephyroth's), And choose to install the MacOSXUpd 10.5.7 Combo And it started downloading it. 2 Hours later the progress bar had not moved and my network activity dropped from 800K down to 0 some time before this.

Ok, try again? This time it jumped right into the extract/patch/install phase. During the install phase my progress bar vanished, but HD activity was high.

Then the strangeness started, i had terminal, activity monitor, finder, and the update apps open. The first to go was terminal, then activity monitor, then the finder. My apps were just up and closing for no reason... Then it got weirder, the GUI elements started going B&W stripes, and the updater window bg went into a jumbled mess of B&W pixels.

>.> oooook

So i waited, and waited, and waited. All the while the finder kept trying to reopen, and would close.

After about 30 mins of no HD activity(monitored by the external HD LED) i decided to reboot, well the apple menu was completely unledgeable by this point, so i held the power button.

Restarted, loaded, showed some boot text, restarted by itself. That i expected.

Got all the way back to my desktop, yay! But QE/CI didnt work, again expected. So i pulled the kext out of a back drive and went to install them, well my keyboard didnt work (PS2 Keyboard, usb mouse). Faced this before. Was going to restart into -s mode and remove the mouse and trackpad drivers to get the kb working. Just as i had done many times before.

Well when i got to -s mode, the keyboard STILL didnt work. Thats new O_o

Rebooted into normal mode, and did share screen with my other mac.

Well when i made it to the ApplePS2Controller, and the mouse & trackpad kexts were not there. Now im stumped.

 

So far this has been the strangest update i have ever done, and now ive lost my keyboard.

*sigh* the strange issues i face, i swear.

I have a perfectly good working 10.5.2 Kalaway install but I want to upgrade to 10.5.7.

 

I have backed up the system HDD to an external using Carbon Copy and I have also backed up my extensions and kernal using OSX86 Tools.

 

I am a little nervous to just choose software update as I don't want to brick my system.

 

I have read every article in this post, some give me hope, some give me fear.

 

I also read about the iDeneb updater... maybe this is what I need.

 

My Kalaway 10.5.2 install went smooth, I can't remember if I installed anything special with it, just the Nvidia options I think.

 

What would be the safesty way for me to proceed?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Delta Update worked perfectly for me! So happy :)

 

Only thing i needed to do was -f at startup to ensure correct boot.

 

Seems more responsive too. Certainly quicker to boot to desktop.

 

Happy days! :)

100 % agree !

I used before Chameleon 2 RC the injector ways or modded SMBIOS.

Now with CHameleon / smbios.plist in /Extra i am much more happy !

Netkas hint: Dont use MacPro#,1 Modell Names, can make problems if your CPU isnt really an i7 family CPU member.

Also be sure (for best compatibility) dont change only Model name, all must fit together with the other values, means SMBIOS Table + Modelname must fit as some other values too, MacPro or MacBook has an different smbios table as iMac !

I used iMac5,1 and all is OK. Also geekbench & Co.

i attached my smbios.plist for chameleon to look in /compare.

 

attached: my iMac5,1 smbios.plist (CPU Speed : 2.8, FSB 266 MHZ, RAM 800 MHZ DDR2: edit with your vales)

 

Thanks mitch_de for your strings! Can I ask the thread members for the following:

 

1. Is there a way to display (even correctly) the CPU type using info in this smbios.plist file and without tampering via OSX86Tools? Despite using your fully-completed smbios.plist, there's no CPU displayed in either About This Mac or System Profiler...

 

2. How can I display 2 memory banks (full) instead of 4 banks (2 full, 2 empty)? Is this dependent on smbios.plist entries? I have entered _1 and _3 only, skipped _2 and _4 entries altogether...

 

3. What is this entry smbios-table exactly doing? Is this generic, i.e. can I use somebody's else strings? What are they exactly telling Leopard?

 

I removed any kexts like SMBIOSEnabler and only use Chameleon's RC2 injector.

 

Many thanks in advance!

I had 10.5.7 and it was nothing but problems for me. I was getting a lot of kernel panics related to Transmision. I scrapped it and went back to 10.5.6. But now with iTunes Store requiring Safari 4.03 and Safari requiring 10.5.7 I may have to try 10.5.8. or try to get SL to work on my day off.

Well, I couldn't see your sig.

 

 

 

 

I have a badaxe2 running 10.5.5, (can't remember which version I used to install).  I have an ATI Radeon HD2600 w/256mb,  CI and QE work but otherwise nothing special on this machine

 

I have a spare NVidia 7300GT w/ 512 mb, but I never could get that one fully functional.I'd like to update.  Just came across a piece of software that required 10.5.6.

 

 

 

My issue is it's a multiboot machine with XP and Ubuntu, using MBR.  I'd rather not clobber my current installs

I've just updated a test partition to 10.5.7 and the net result is a kernel panic quite early in the boot sequence.

The culprit seems to be "AppleTyMCEDriver.kext", which crashes when probing for MacPro4,1 hardware.

It says: 

AppleTyMCEDriver::probe(MacPro4,1)
AppleTyMCEDriver::start(MacPro4,1)

 

Hmm, now that it mentions it... I have set my Mac model to "MacPro4,1" in smbios.plist from Chameleon 2.0-RC1.

The solution is to simply define the model as "MacPro3,1" :-)

The kext "AppleTyMCEDriver.kext" is new in 10.5.7 and I believe it is only supposed to be loaded on Nehalem boards (MacPro4,1, Xserve3,1). There's a similar kext called "AppleMCEDriver.kext", which has been around ever since at least 10.5.0.

 

Does the "Ty" stand for "Thank you for buying one of our most expensive machines?" ;-)

 

Maybe that helps someone.

zhell

 

Thanks very much! That's what I needed to get my Gigabyte 945gsm board working (it would only boot in safe boot due to the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext problem). As a Mac Pro3,1, it works great!

 

Best regards,

 

I.

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I do not know where else to turn.

 

It seems that I cannot boot my OS X Leopard installation. My hardware is as follows:

 

ASRock 4CoreDual-Sata2 (Bios 2.10)

Nvidea GeForce 200 (The really old one.)

ATI Radeon X1550 PRO (I had this working on 10.5.5.)

Western Digital 80G IDE HDD

Western Digital 20G IDE HDD

Sony IDE CD Drive

Western Digital 10G IDE HDD

Western Digital 1T SATA HDD

 

I go through the installation successfully, but whenever I try to boot I get a Kernel Panic. I installed Voodoo 9.5.0 that was on the iATKOS v7i Install DVD.

 

My error is:
