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

Isn't it frustrating if you can't restart your browser when you're in the middle of a download ?
Well here's a solution. Just use the terminal with the 'curl' command to download your (big) files.

Let's download Colloquy for example (http://colloquy.info/downloads/colloquy-latest.zip).

Open up terminal, and browse to the prefered download folder, IE:
cd ~/Desktop
Initiate the download:
curl -o http://colloquy.info/downloads/colloquy-latest.zip

Here's a small howto about dual booting Mac OS and Windows xp with the Windows bootloader method.

• Partition your hard drive accordingly.
• Download Mac OSX Tiger DVD.
• Install Mac OSX on a partition.
• Restart the computer with a Win 98/ME start cd or disk.
• Start fdisk, set Win XP partition as active.
• Copy chain0 to c:\.
• Add chain0=”Mac OSx86” to boot.ini in Win XP.
• Restart.
• Enjoy dual booting.

Here's a small howto about upgrading the OSx86 kernel.

First, download a kernel and unzip / unrar the archive
Place the kernel (named 'mach_kernel' ) file on your desktop
Open terminal and type:

sudo cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old
(this will backup your current kernel)
(type your password)
sudo cp -f ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /
sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel*
sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel*

Both The Inquirer and HotHardware published a short test of Intel V8, the prototype of a new motherboard. When looking at the specification, the dual socket supports Quad Core Xeon 5365 (Clovertown), the 1333MHz Greencreek FSB chipset and 8 FB-DIMM memory slots.

In other words, this motherboard looks almost like the one found in current Mac Pro models. Here's a list with small modifications brought by Apple:

- For improving cooling, Apple installed FB-DIMM modules on daughter cards

- Apple does not offer 6 SATA ports

- Apple did not keep the 2 PCI-X slots found on the V8 kit

- location of the Airport and BT modules

But overall the V8 motherboard is the sister of the one found in our Mac Pro. Of course it lacks the EEPROM making the one in the Mac Pro able to run OS X; and without it, running OSX on the V8 might not be so easy.

While some analysts consider this V8 kit as the first answer from Intel to AMD Barcelona; it could also be introduced because a special agreement for one-year exclusive rights between Apple and Intel will be ending soon in June. Of course, the V8 kit was identified by The inquirer as a very hot piece of hardware requiring a lot of work for cooling it down. This is exactly what Apple did more than a year ago...

To change your 'About this Mac' logo, you only have to
replace one file. First we are going to backup your
existing logo, located in:

/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/..
../Resources/ MacOSX.tif and rename it to MacOSX.tif.bak

After that you can download one of the supplied logo's and rename it to MacOSX.tif and place the logo back again in
/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources

Fix permissions, logout and login and enjoy your custom About this Mac graphic!

Custom Logo's:

Hackintosh.tif
MacOSX-Aqua.tif
MacOSX-Aqua2.tif
MacOSX-Aqua3.tif
MacOSX86.tif
iHack.tif

Some people get a kernel panic when using/installing VMware Fusion.
Here is a patched kernel extension, that solves this problem

you need to place it here:

/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/kexts/

during installation

for using it, you can use this script (script needs to be run under root):

while sleep 2 ; do cp -r ./vmmon.kext /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/kexts/ ; chown -R 0:0 /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/kexts/vmmon.kext ; done

after installation, press ctrl-c

if you see some errors, just ignore them :)
