Well after a few more tries, I finally got 10.5.8 up and running on my B&W. I went from my parents' iMac G5 to my hard drive connected via an ATA to FireWire controller: freshly erased hard drive partition → fresh install from 10.5 retail …

hey guys I know it's been a while, but I finally have the chance to work on the upgrade to 10.5.8 this week and so far it is not going well. I have tried a couple different steps: 1) take current system running 10.5.5 → apply 10.5.8 combo in…

It is so good to see progress still going on this. I am going to give another go at upgrading my B&W from 10.5.5 to 10.5.8 over the holidays. Maybe once everyone is all upgraded and stable on 10.5.8, we could come up with an easy to reference …

good news, everyone! Using the instructions found here: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/03/h...-leopard-1055/ I was able to install Safari 4.0.3 on my 10.5.5 B&W G4. The only change to the instructions I had to modify was that everywhere t…

Well, it looks like Apple just rolled out OS X 10.5.8, the final Leopard release before the jump to Snow Leopard. It would be great if we could get our legacy macs working all the way up to 10.5.8 before Apple puts the nail in the PPC coffin with S…

yikes! Safari 4 needs 10.5.7. I hope we can get it working!

Cool - please let me know if you have success with 10.5.7. I tried installing the combo update over 10.5.5, and then copying back the original kexts, but then I got the no platform found error on start up. I feel like I am just overlooking somethi…

James, have you tried going up to 10.5.7 yet?

Well I tried the plain vanilla 10.5.6 Update that came down from Software Update last night, but it looks like they updated IOGraphicsFamily, so I got a kernel panic on restart. If you are preparing to upgrade paste 10.5.4 or 10.5.5 (which I had no…

Hi all, Just wanted to report that I ran the 10.5.5 update in Software Update last night on my B&W with no problems. -Jeff

I don't know about anyone else, but I have been getting constant Kernel Panics since I installed the new iTunes 8 in Leopard. Never had a problem with iTunes 7 in Leopard, and iTunes 8 in Tiger is working fine too. I noticed that the installer ins…

That's awesome James! Can't wait to hear the details of those installs. I wanted to let everyone know too, that I have Time Machine running now on my B&W. Apparently, TM uses the MAC address to make sure that it's backing up to the right pl…

Thanks for the tip James! I was able to get USB and FireWire working. The Tiger versions did not work, but the WWDC '06 did work. I'm still experimenting with the ethernet issue. I've tried Tiger & WWDC '06 versions of IONetworkingFamily…

I finally got 10.5.4 up and running on my B&W! Here are a few observations, thus far: The Install. ?My parents have an iMac G5, so I bought an IDE to USB cable to connect my HD to their iMac. At first, I tried to install 10.5.1 to my HD us…

Hey James, I found someone with a leopard supported PPC, so I think I am going to give this another go this weekend for my B&W. Just a couple of questions for clarification - To start off, I'll be installing 10.5.1 from my Retail DVD as an…

Hi James, that does sound like a hard part to come by. I found a website a little while back that has a lot of old power mac upgrades: http://resale.headgap.com/ I ordered a Sweet Multiport for my B&W from them, which I couldn't find anywhere …

Hey jimjamyahauk and azure, I want to join in on some testing with you guys. I am going to be taking a stab at this on my Sonnet 1GHz G4 upgraded B&W (I also have a flashed nVidia FX 5200). I am hoping to start on things this coming weekend…
