Once I was sure I had all the components working, I did a Software Update to 10.5.8. Doing so killed the Wi-Fi, keyboard and trackpad, but a repeat of replacing kext files restored them to a working state.

the hackintosh always seemed cheesy in that regard, much like a jailbroken iphone. a new official release comes out with bug fixes and new features and you're left waiting around until someone can crack it open again before you can update.

anyone know how psystar gets around this issue of running mac os on custom hardware that needs 3rd party kernel extensions?



I believe Psystar runs their own updater and supplies the pre-hacked updates to users.

Is this incorrect?
