are the steps to update your computer to 10.4.10
This is a workable solution for the Asus P5W-DH motherboard, which is running Mac OSx86 10.4.9
/;

0) Before we start..

Copy your extensions folder (System/Library/Extensions) to /Backup/Extensions

Download the latest kernel from #10.4.10 on irc.osx86.hu, or the latest at time of writing Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; Sochi2014:VoteForUs/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

Download R3D3

1) Backup Extensions

We are going to start with the backup proces of a few kernel extensions,
all files will be written to the root of your Mac OS installation partition.
Open terminal and type the following:

sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old
cp -R /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleACPIplatform.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleAPIC.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/system.kext /

2) Running the update

Next thing is running the update in Apple's Software Update
Make sure you keep the terminal and disk utility open

Run Software Update and deselect everything but the 10.4.10 intel update and install it (And do not restart ! Just ignore the installer window!)

3) Restoring Extensions

Right now we need to place the new kernel, the R3D3 kext, and the old kernel extensions to make sure the hardware will work properly after rebooting.

For the kernel (assuming the new kernel is placed on your desktop):

sudo cp -f ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /
sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel*
sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel*

R3D3:

sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/r3d3.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

And the extensions:

cp -R /loginwindow.app /system/library/coreservices/
cp -R /AppleSMBIOS.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /AppleACPIplatform.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /AppleAPIC.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /IOATAFamily.kext /system/library/extensions/
rm -rf /system/library/extensions.*

And on some systems only (first test without, if it fails, boot in single user mode (-s):

cp -R /system.kext /system/library/extensions/
Open disk utility and repair permissions for your OS X partition
Reboot

When things go wrong...

You can always copy Extensions back in single user mode (type -S on the Darwin Bootloader command line ), its really easy, just read the on screen instructions how to mount your drive and get write support enabled.
Copy your old extensions this way:

cp -R /Backup/Extensions/myextension.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

My Ati x1900XT didn't got detected, so I restored my ATi kexts in single user mode:

cp -R /Backup/Extensions/Ati* /System/Library/Extensions/
cp -R /Backup/Extensions/AppleNDRV /System/Library/Extensions/

For nVidia users:

cp -R /Backup/Extensions/NV* /System/Library/Extensions/

(Not tested by me, but confirmed its working, by "Etam" in the comments)

About Audio

My audio didn't work after upgrading, below are the steps which did the job for me:

Move my AppleHDA.kext to your Extensions folder, and fix his permissions.

Reboot

Get the the AppleHDA patcher (v1.16) and my P5W-DH codec dump

Drop the codec dump on the AppleHDA patcher

Reboot

Rodney @ 26.06.2007 15:18 CEST
Please review your instructions for this upgrade. On my system I could not copy all the extensions back after I made the back-ups. Kept getting access denied message in the terminal. Files in use message. So I got stuck halfway through with the 10.4.10 update already downloaded. No way to back out! Had to re-install!

Rodney @ 26.06.2007 16:28 CEST
Thanks for the quick response. It occured to me that I might be able to copy the files from the boot loader, but then I didn't know how to and furthermore, I didn't have all the commands memorized! Now, had I the presence of mind to print off the commands and done a little investigating I might have saved the update. But then I didn't expect to have to go that route, and by that time I had a crippled system with no internet access. A minor update to your instructions would help safeguard against the problem I had. Lesson learned! Time to learn more about the boot loader....

Thanks, Rodney

Koos @ 26.06.2007 16:34 CEST
Thanks for your comment, I will add some information to clarify the backup proces when things go wrong.
I've also written an article about the bootloader, you can read it here.

Etam @ 26.06.2007 20:34 CEST
I did the upgrade (without copying the System.ext). After the computer auto rebooted once, the second boot seems to be okay at first (with the apple logo and spinning indicator, etc.)

However, after the final stage of the boot, the desktop is not displayed, and instead some random bits are displayed.

I'm using Asus P5B delux, Core 2 duo and NVIDIA GT7300. Help appreciated, thanks.

Koos @ 27.06.2007 09:53 CEST
@Etam,
Try to restore all nVidia kernel extensions, which start with NV as far as i know: cp -R /Backup/Extensions/NV* /System/Library/Extensions/

BJMoose @ 27.06.2007 13:04 CEST
Like Rodney, I got the permissions denied message in terminator. I had success by just dragging the saved kexts from the root to the extensions directory after typing my password. I did not need to use my old system.kext and after 2nd reboot, all is working fine. Took the 06 security update, tested opening dmg's, and tested a small project on FCS2. Thanks for the instructions.

BJMoose @ 27.06.2007 13:10 CEST
Sorry, should have added that I'm using an Intel Bad Axe 2 mb, with QX6700 quad core and NVidia 512mb NX7600GS. I reapplied the NVinject.kext and permissions command before I rebooted so video was fine after reboot. I did have to reapply TarugaHDA patch to get audio back. Peace, BJ

Koos @ 27.06.2007 13:12 CEST
Guys, thanks for your comments !
I forgot the "sudo -s" line, to become super user, which doesn't have those write limitations.

The guide must be complete right now.

Etam @ 27.06.2007 16:27 CEST
After restoring the NV* extensions, I can get to the desktop and the mac is running again. Thanks!!

There are some nice things that resulted in this update from Jas 10.4.8 installation. NTFS partition can now be mounted automatically, System now reports the correct speed for Core2duo, and X-bench give the expected results.

There is one down side to the update (but I'm not sure if this is just for me only) is that I have problem mounting .dmg disk image now, none of them wanted to mount.

Thanks for sharing the blog, it is fantastic to be able to apply this latest software update.

Koos @ 27.06.2007 17:53 CEST
@Etam,
Your welcome :).
About the .dmg mounting problem, make sure you're using the 10.4.10 system.kext, in stead of your backed-up 10.4.8. You can get the 10.4.10 kext

Etam @ 28.06.2007 04:45 CEST
Putting back the updated System.kext fixed the .dmg mounting problem. Thanks :)

And for others with P5B DL MB, I remove the updated AppleHDA.kext and kept the modified AppleAzaliaAudio.kext to get the audio working again.

Koos @ 28.06.2007 11:55 CEST
@Etam,
Keep in mind that the AppleHDA.kext supports more Audio in / output, so re-applying the Taruga patch isn't a bad idea..

toxics @ 28.06.2007 15:00 CEST
hey there koos, nice job, i was looking for guide like this, now i have one question, i have 10.4.6 intel x86 Darvin version, can i still able to follow this procedure and update it to 10.4.10, or do i need to download newdvd like Stony suggested me to download tubgirl version and patch the ppf? sumhelp needed here
thnx for this guide again

Koos @ 28.06.2007 15:09 CEST
@toxics,
I don't think it will work, but you can always give it a try..
A better way is to install JaS 10.4.8 dvd, and upgrade straight to 10.4.10 with this guide. All at your own risk.

toxics @ 28.06.2007 15:38 CEST
where can i download tht DVD from?, piratebay? cuse demon is offline for couple day...
and no one is seeding actually in piratebay ri8 now? any other alternatives ?
and i dont wanna try if its not gonna work he he lol

Koos @ 28.06.2007 15:43 CEST
If you can download from usenet: link or try TPB.

toxics @ 28.06.2007 15:52 CEST
thnx its helpful have to stick wid TPB cuse cand understand the usenext thingy lol

Rodney @ 29.06.2007 04:56 CEST
Finally Got it! - Thanks for your help Koos. Read your Darwin section. Learned alot about Darwin!

Also for the Nvidea users read on (i'm Natit Dual):

* =============== NVidia: ===============
Restoring previous NVidia drivers (If you experience problems w/ the 10.4.10 drivers)
(recover console using boot option -s for single user mode, then "mount -uw /" as instructed):
1) nuke Extensions cache
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
2) nuke 10.4.10 video drivers (these are backed up)
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/IOGraphicsFamily.kext <-- this was necessary for my 6800 GT OC
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/Geforce*
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/NVDA*
3) restore 10.4.9 video drivers
sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions.10.4.9/IOGraphicsFamily.kext /System/Library/Extensions
sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions.10.4.9/Geforce* /System/Library/Extensions
sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions.10.4.9/NVDA* /System/Library/Extensions

Ingemar @ 29.06.2007 08:33 CEST
Thx for the guide. I first did the 10.4.10 update from another guide which is basically the same as yours, except for the kernel update. I followed your steps to upgrade the kernel, but now when I reboot I just get the gray apple screen. I boot into safe mode and after 10 messages about dns bind crashes within 60 seconds or so it drops me to a prompt. I restored the original kernel and then went to delete the r3d3.kext but it was no longer there. Is there anything I can try to fix or should I just reinstall?

Thx.

toxics @ 29.06.2007 10:21 CEST
hey there friends,i sumhow able to download the jas's DVD full version from Usenxt news group, but i when i expand it its says the files are corrupted its too bad full 4.9 gb files, dont knw wht to do?

Ingemar @ 29.06.2007 20:06 CEST
Never mind, I got it working after a clean install. Not sure what went wrong the first time but it doesn't really matter.

owleye @ 29.06.2007 22:29 CEST
I have hackintosh 10.4.8. i upgraded it to 10.4.9 still with 8.8.1 kernel...i then followed ur instruction for upgrading to 10.4.10 this time with 8.10.1 Kernel...after rebooting i had this funny looking black screen...talk about kernel and that i have to restart in a couple of languages...i restarted its the same problem....


I use hp dv5264 intel core 2 processor....nvidia gforce go 7400 graphic card...

could u be of help to me please...

Koos @ 30.06.2007 18:45 CEST
@owleye,
Must be a problem with your kernel, maybe you placed the wrong one (Intel / AMD). Try to restore your old kernel, in single user mode (-s), to solve this problem.

Bart @ 30.06.2007 18:50 CEST
A stable system over here, everything working great (10.4.8 > 10.4.10), thanks. A sidenote to GMA950-users: I had to replace /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
with the 10.4.8 one to get my display and correct resolution detected.

owleye @ 30.06.2007 23:23 CEST
Koos..could u please send me the 8.10.1 intel kernel...ma email address is kbeckoe@yahoo.com

Koos @ 01.07.2007 11:53 CEST
@owleye
The link in the 2nd note at the "0) before we start" section contains the kernel.

the computer sleeps alright but wont wake up

Secondly it will not recognise my usb hard drive...

will appreciate ur help.

Koos @ 03.07.2007 11:14 CEST
@owleye,
sleep won't work here neither..
about usb, I don't have a fix for that..
on the insanelymac forums must be a solutions for that problem..

Jamamoto @ 05.07.2007 10:07 CEST
Using this tutorial my mac os stoped booting. While booting there is this message: Could't alloc calss "com_mifki_r3d3". Only blue screen is shown :(

Koos @ 05.07.2007 11:22 CEST
@Jamamoto,
The error you gave is normal.
Everyone has it.. There must be an other problem, and I think it has something to do with your graphic card drivers. For both manufacturers (ATi nVidia) are solutions found in the blog post or these comments.
If you can't find it, please give your gfx card brand, and I'll give you the proper solution.

Jamamoto @ 05.07.2007 12:22 CEST
I have XFX 7600GT 256 MB card. I have tryed to restore all my NV kexts using this command cp -R /Backup/Extensions/NV* /System/Library/Extensions/ but no success. Did't tryed this proposal Rodney @ 29.06.2007 04:56 CEST. Also I have tryed using two kernels (from #kernel and from link above - http://kooskaspers.googlepages.com/mach_kernel.zip)
Just reinstalled MAC OS X again. I will try to update later.

Installed MAC OS using this image
Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso

Toxics @ 05.07.2007 21:06 CEST
hi koos, i manage to get working jas dvd from tpb,it installed and worked perfectly like before, i used u r method to update but after reboot nothing seems working at this moment it giving me this error, i tried everything
http://xs117.xs.to/xs117/07274/729667144_cd39e2b2d1_b.jpg

Koos @ 06.07.2007 11:37 CEST
@Toxics,
It seems you haven't fully completed the updated, because it can't find certain files to update your system..

Do you have an other partition with osx installed ? If so, you can manually add the files, otherwise you have to reinstall JaS 10.4.8 again..

Toxics @ 08.07.2007 15:31 CEST
HI koos, sorry for not replying u quickly as i was out, anyways i have two partition,but mac OS is on first one,the other partition i use juss for data, where d u want me to save Backup/Extensions ? on desktop as new kernel and R3D3?
please guide me how i can do this, as i have to reinstall the os again, and i dont wanna take any risk as my DVD drive is gone becuse of this Frekin mac DVD,
thnx

Koos @ 08.07.2007 15:53 CEST
@Toxics,
If you don't have a seccond install on your osx86 machine, its really hard to fix this problem. As I said before, there are missing some major files which are needed to complete the update at the last stage. If you have made a backup of you extensions folder, you can try to restore the entire Extensions folder by booting up in single user mode ('-S' at darwin bootloader prompt) and give this command: "sudo cp -R /Backup/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions", but I'm defnitly not sure if this going to work.. There's a big change you have to reinstall everything.. If you need to restore important files, you can bootup an Ubuntu Linux live CD, and backup your data from there..

jamamoto @ 10.07.2007 20:01 CEST
The second attempt bring same results :( MAC OS X does't start properly. Again just blue screen.

Koos @ 10.07.2007 21:08 CEST
@Jamamoto,

Thats very weird.. are you using a DVI cable ?
Try once with a VGA cable..

I had also a blue screen when I was using a DVI cable before installing my ATi drivers..

jamamoto @ 12.07.2007 12:08 CEST
Yes, I am using DVI cable. Ok I will try to update again.

Huor @ 19.07.2007 07:32 CEST
Thanks Koos, successful update here with ASUS P5B DLX.
All working: evga 7900gt 256MB, Lan, Usb and reinstall AppleAzaliaAudio.kext to get the audio working.

The remaining files in the root directory, what I do with the archives? can I move them, erase or hide?

Thx.

Koos @ 19.07.2007 22:01 CEST
Yes, you can safely remove those files, but make sure you keep mach_kernel untouched (or hide it if you want).

re-book @ 19.07.2007 22:30 CEST
All kernel extensions dependencies are broken after updating this way. Take a look into system profiler -> Extensions. You will see all dependencies as unsatisfied. Do you know a way to fix that? If not, the people should not use this guide.

re-book

Koos @ 19.07.2007 22:37 CEST
Well if you followed the guide, you came also at this code:

sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel*
sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel*
These lines fix the permissions with your kernel.

re-book @ 19.07.2007 23:15 CEST
Na, sure I did that.
What dose your profiler tells you for the extension?
I give you a example of mine:
------------------------------------------

Is that the same with yours?
These errors are in the most of my extensions.

re-book

Koos @ 20.07.2007 11:49 CEST
Well I'm not at home right now, so I can't tell you if I have them too..

Please run disk utility -> repair permissions once, and check again if you still have errors.

ghostparty @ 21.07.2007 10:29 CEST
Hi I'm running 10.4.8, I think I'm having a graphics problem but it might be a bit more than that. I go through all the steps and when I get to the reboot and 'pray' step the praying doesn't seem to be working. It takes a bit longer to boot up as expected but it stops at a blue screen, if I connect an external monitor then I can log in and do everything fine which would be the graphics problem. The second possible problem is that if I reboot the computer (either by powering off unsafely or through the external monitor the right way) the next time it gets to the gray apple logo loading screen and stops, no spinning loading thing and no hard drive access whatsoever, if I try to boot into -s -x or whatever I can't get to a prompt, it stops shortly after (I'm recalling this from memory) loading the processor and then nothing, it stops cold. luckily I just ghost an image back each time so if you need me to do some troubleshooting I can it takes about an hour for my ghost image to be restored. For the record I'm using an Intel GM945 for my graphics card and this is a centrino duo which is properly detected in 10.4.8 . Sorry for the long post I figure the more information the better! Thanks in advance.

ghostparty @ 21.07.2007 10:31 CEST
sorry forgot but I might be able to get into -s if I do it immediately after applying the update on the first reboot as it seems to work once and then nothing.

ghostparty @ 21.07.2007 10:55 CEST
Wow 3 times I'm on a roll thought I had it all right but I see that under system profiler in 10.4.8 my graphics card is detected as a gma950, odd that it works I'm almost positive that it's a 945 under windows... whatev if it's a graphics fix let's go with a 950

re-book @ 21.07.2007 11:01 CEST
After using PascalW's updater my kext dependencies are ok again. I did install Natit again directly after the update without to reboot first.

re-book

reg@expertreward @ 03.08.2007 21:48 CEST
Hi, The upgrade went well better than all the others I've tried. I had to do the system.kext to get it to boot properly. But once up I can't load disk image files, it did mention diskarb errors on boot, do you know what kext file I need to put back to get dmg mount working again...

reg@expertreward @ 04.08.2007 22:56 CEST
Well I don't know why it didn't boot first time but searching Forums I found my dmg error was because the system.kext used was not correct for the kernel. I put back the 10.4.10 system.kext and all booted OK dmgs work also. Like you I get no sound but your fix did not work. I'm using an Intel PD 3.4Ghz on an Intel D945GNT Mboard with 2GB RAM.

duckpond @ 07.08.2007 09:33 CEST
A great guide! My upgrade was a success w/out issue. But I did not backup the extensions as instructed in section 0. Probably you can make that instruction line more copy-and-paste-friendly, LOL!

Now I lost QE/CI support for my Radeon x600, and I need to go somewhere to find some extension back, ouch!

Pete @ 07.08.2007 22:36 CEST
Worked great thanks. I too have P5-WDH system and had to do the audio fix.

aunk @ 08.08.2007 02:48 CEST
i've tried to update from 10.4.9, and it's a success, but no 8.10.1 kernel, i'm still using 8.9.1, any suggestion?

i had kernel panic when using 8.10.1, because i only had SSE2 in the CPU.

Is there any kernel suitable for my CPU which only had SSE2 NOT SSE3?

Herick P @ 10.08.2007 04:10 CEST
Thanks!!! Your update worked flawlessly for me!! The only thing that happened was one auto-restart, but then everything went fine! Cheers

Sean @ 17.08.2007 03:33 CEST
Just thought I'd drop by after the clean install and say cheers ;)

Like above one auto-restart after the Grey loading (2nd from boot) then we're all good to go. No missing stuff!


Thnx

now everything works on mine.. except the sonix web cam

charlie @ 06.09.2007 12:57 CEST
Can you please write some step-by-step instructions on this comment in your blog:

When things go wrong...

You can always copy Extensions back in single user mode (type -S on the Darwin Bootloader command line ), its really easy, just read the on screen instructions how to mount your drive and get write support enabled.
Copy your old extensions this way:


thanks
charlie

Jay-R @ 25.09.2007 02:52 CEST
I have successfully updated, backedup and restore the extensions but after restarting the gray screen fading out and its keep on saying

"Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; Sochi2014:VoteForUs/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386"

Slowly the gray screen with the apple logo fades out but still the phrase : Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; Sochi2014:VoteForUs/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

keeps coming out. then it auto restarts. When I try to boot on -s in Darwin bootloader it ends up in this phrase again : Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; Sochi2014:VoteForUs/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

Then it hangs. I cant restore it anymore

Please do help me

keko @ 29.11.2007 23:24 CEST
Do you think it'll work with the Combo update instead of Apple's automatic software update? Now that 10.4.11 is out, you only get that option in auto update.

keko @ 30.11.2007 00:49 CEST
nevermind... I just applied the Combo update, and guess what? It works fine!

hi, koos, i'd followed your explanations about how to install the audio patch to get full working in and out. But not success at all. I'm on a ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe using Chaos OSx86 Scene (Tiger 10.4.10) with 8.10.3 Kernel. Also I enablñed HD Audio and non-Vista in BIOS settings. What's Wrong?
