yonyz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi, I currently have (Kalyway) OS X 10.5.4. How can I update it to the latest Leopard version? I'd rather stay with Leopard for now, since my audio driver does not support Snow Leopard yet. My hardware: GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R (whatever works on P35-DS3L works with this one too) Intel Q6600 GeForce GTS 250 (installed using EFI string) ESI Juli@ (works with Audio-Evolution's ("audiodriverwriter") driver BTW, updating to 10.5.6 is sufficient, since all I want is to be able to install Logic Studio 9. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218179-how-to-update-from-1054-to-the-latest-leopard-version/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonyz Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 I was thinking of following this guide. What do you guys think? Will it break my installation? Should I back it up somehow, first? Edit: Alright. Installation went almost smoothly, but now OS X changed my partitions' icons from gray to orange. Is this just a cosmetic change, or perhaps it says something about my partitions (which are ALL orange now)?

Hangten Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Try this download: Don't forget to use the kext utility and so it can rebuild your cache, permissions...

yonyz Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 This doesn't answer my question - is it just cosmetic, or it's more than that? Also, the download page states that the file is intended for Snow Leopard, but what I use is just Leopard.

Cosmetic and there is one for Leopard.

Beerkex'd Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Depending on how you do it, it's not just cosmetic. There are two ways to fix orange icons. Drives have orange icons when OS X sees them as external. You can check this in System Profiler and Disk Utility. 1) You can fix just the icons - all drives connected to your SATA controller that had orange icons before are still seen as external but now have gray icons. Depending on the fix you use (your SATA controller must be in AHCI mode) the drives will be hot-pluggable - you can unmount the drive using Terminal or Disk Utility and actually unplug the drive and plug in another one while the OS is running. You should see "Detachable Drive Yes" in System Profiler. There's a kernel extension by THe KiNG called 'OrangeIconFix' that does just that. Or 2) you can fix it so that all drives that are connected to a particular SATA controller appears as internal - they then get the grey icons automatically. The downside is you lose hotplugging, but most people don't need that anyway. The AHCI injector kexts that come with the Chameleon 2.0 official download does this. You can also use DSDT code that injects your SATA controller (ICH9/10/R) as "ESB2" (used in some Mac Pro models).

yonyz Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Well, I don't mind the color and I definitely don't mind the added functionality. Beerkex'd, what you said about AHCI does make sense. After I updated OS X to 10.5.6, it didn't boot. It was stuck at the loading circle. So I tried booting OS X using the -v command, and then I saw the problem. Some Googling, and I realized I needed to enable AHCI. And so I did. Thank you all for your replies.

oldtopman Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 the drives will be hot-pluggable If you unplugged the main hard drive wouldn't osx86 crash esp. if you put another in. Its not exactly a lightweight run from ram linux distro.

Beerkex'd Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 lol yes it would probably crash pretty hard AND corrupt your files and/or partitions. I don't think you will see the drive containing the OS listed as "detachable" in System Profiler, orange icon or not. Unplug at your own risk!
