Updated to 10.5.8

|
Can't wait for Leopard Snow, so got my hands dirty and updated to 10.5.8.

Doesn't work initially, and it hangs at the "Still waiting for root device" error while booting.

Had to reinstate my old Extensions and got it to work, here's what i did :
- On my WinXP using MacDrive, copy back all files in System/Library/Extensions/
- Then i booted using iDeneb 10.5.6 installation disc.
- Once inside, open terminal and set the permission of the copied files.

chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacOSX/System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /Volumes/MacOSX/System/Library/Extensions/*

Remove the old cache also by typing:

cm -rf /Volumes/MacOSX/System/Library/Extensions.*

Once done, reboot. As i have Boot Think installed on my XP, i booted my MacOSX from there in F8 mode with:

rd=disk0s2 -f -v

And once inside MacOSX, i reinstalled my Boot Think.

Works !!!
