Mac OS X 10.4.9 with 8.9.1 Update Guide

Notice: you need to have SSE3 system for it

1) Download kernel

got to irc channel #1049 at irc.osx86.hu read topic, hpet/sse3 kernel – for systems with ich4 ich5 ich6 ich7 ich8 chipset ( most intel chipsets based modern mobos), for other intel proc system – download nohpet/sse3 kernel.

for amd single core systems – AMD/SSE3/1Core, for amd x2 systems – AMD/SSE3/x2, if you have timing problems with last one . then use amd x2 kernel with only one core active – AMD/SSE3/x2/1CoreUsed

2) Download apple update (for Intels) or tubgirl update form thepiratebay (for AMDs)

3) Download r3d3.kext from #1049 topic

4) Backup you /System/Library/Extensions folder

cp -r /System/Library/Extensions /1048/

backup your current kernel

cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_old

install update, do NOT PRESS RESTART button after it

5) Replace kernel with one dloaded before

cp /where/you/unpack/kernel /mach_kernel

6) Recover applesmbios.kext

cp -R /1048/Extensions/AppleSMBios.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

and remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext if you using nohpet or amd kernel.

7) Copy unpacked r3d3.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ folder

8) For nohpet and amdsystems, delete kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

9) Repair kexts permissions

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions

10) Reboot and pray

11) If you have diskarb errors, then

<boot with -s>
mount -uw /
rm /etc/rc.installer_cleanup

12) Pray a lot

13) Use fsb=xxx (xxx – your FSB speed, not a porn) boot option (F8 during boot) to select right FSB, once you find right FSB, go to Terminal, type:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

find the entry: <key> Kernel Flags </key>

below that is: <string> </string>

change that to: <string>fsb=nnn</string>where nnn is your fsb

press Control – O to save your changes in nano

press Enter to accept the file name

press Control – X to exit nano

P.S. Don’t use Loki Updater with 8.9.1 kernel.
