I think Apple may have finally come up with the proverbial "silver bullet" which renders OS X86 boxes useless. Although other OS X86 users have reported "no problema" with the 10.5.5 Delta Update (for bringing a Hackintosh running the "Vanilla" [ retail DVD ] version of Mac OS 10.5.4 up to 10.5.5), my Hackintosh, equivalent to an OpenPro/MacPro, got a kernel panic during the Software Update process itself, thereafter leaving the partially updated system completely unusable. Fortunately, I have an identical 1 TB disk as an on-line back-up to my usual boot disk. And, fortunately, I had "synched" the two just before applying the update. I am, therefore, hesitant to apply the update to my G4s (I have no G5s, nor do I have any Intel Macs). It is believed that 10.5.5 does update the MacOS kernel, but this was "no problema" for the 10.5.4 update, which also updated the kernel. I will likely "age" the update, and try again, after others running G4s, and others running Hackintoshes, too, report positive results. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
