10.5.7 on Shuttle Hackintosh

well I sucked it up and did the software update on my Hackintosh and got rewarded with a brick.

The machine still boots into OSX but nothing I've been able to do in the last few hours will get my sound or ethernet working again.

Just FYI folks ....
 
Without working ethernet a modern computer isn't much of a useful device, so I called it a brick.


I spent several hours trying to get it running again, using the same kexts that I used before for both audio and ethernet - no dice. It boots into OSX, I can run local programs except for Itunes and no connection to the net at all.
 
So reinstall the system and restore it to the point where it did work. 'Brick' is not the term to use, so long as it's possible to do that.

This is a good illustration of why you should have more than one MacOSX partition and install on a Hackintosh- apply system updates to a test install first. 10GB or so of disk space is a small price to pay for the ease of testing things out first.
 
Sure I could do a full re-install and go back to 10.5.6. Pain in the tail but certainly do-able. As for having a small test partition with a bare OS, that's a very good idea.

But I've decided I enjoyed using OSX well enough that I'll just go out and buy a real one 🙂
