FAILED UPDATING TO 10.5.7? POST HERE

[Pere]

absolutely everything works except sleep, the screen goes black but the fans continue running and the mouse and keyboard are still on...I remember having this exact problem when I updated from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6, and if I remember correctly I fixed the issue by replacing some usb kexts. Is there a way to fix this problem in 10.5.7

You can try this additions to com.apple.boot.plist if you are using Chameleon 2, they will help on usb problems.

USBBusFix=Yes Enable the EHCI and UHCI fixes (disabled by default).
EHCIacquire=Yes Enable the EHCI fix (disabled by default).
UHCIreset=Yes Enable the UHCI fix (disabled by default).

add them in the form:

<key>USBBusFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>

ok i updated to 10.5.7 and now i cant boot whatsoever... if i type voodoo for booting it gets to a point and hangs but nothing else will work plz help ... i am having a lot of trouble arent i :'(

Please, take a pic where it stops, so i know why.... boot with -v and -f -v -x to try a safe boot

I'm not using Chameleon, I have the voodoo kernel and EFI v.9 I think from the iAtkos i5 install.

[Pere]

Try using chameleon 2 installer, on install options you can add those flags without touch com.apple.boot.plist by yourself.

Thanks for the fast reply. I did some search on Google but couldn't find a comprehensive explanation on what Chameleon is and what it does. I remember installing Chameleon (version 1 I think) several months ago on a new Leopard install and it broke the installation. Now I had my Leopard install set up the way I want it to be and I've been using it for more then 4 months now so I don't want to break my install again. So where could I find more information about Chameleon?

Edit: Learned some more about Chameleon, think that I may try it out after all, but I still have a question: I used the GFX method (string in com.apple.Boot.plist) to get my 9800GTX+ working, will it still work after the chameleon install?

Thanks.

[Pere]

Yep, chameleon2 will read your com.apple.boot.plist and will do a copy of it on /Extra folder, there it will add the flags for usb if you mark that option on installer.

Recheck them again, the 10.5 version is NEW, before they had just the tiger version.
