Installed 10.5.8 iDeneb comboupdate.. Now stuck with grey

Hi

I just installed the 10.5.8 comboupdate, came from 10.5.6.
First, I couldn't boot. Then tried different combinations (-s, -x etc.). Tried cpus=1 and got to desktop - But with 800*600. Installed recommended kexts from MSI-wind package, and got only grey lines. Can still log on, so it must be a conflict with the GMA. Still only able to boot in cpus=1. Inserted iDeneb 1.4 disk, and installed AAO-package. Now, I can boot normally, BUT I still got those damn grey lines - What can I do?

booot the install disc
then go to terminal
type cd /Volumes/name of your hd/System/Library/Extensions (caps are important)
type "ls -l"
That lists all the files
then do
rm -R AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
rm -R AppleIntelGMA950.kext
rm -R Natit.kext
Then do
cd /Volumes/your hd/System/Library
chown -R root:wheel /Extensions
chmod -R 755 /Extensions
Then reboot

Then you should be back to desktop with low res and no qe/ci and you can install graphics drivers from there.

Thanks Rory

In the meantime, I had to do something to my AAO, so I erased my disc and started all over again. Now, I can get to my loginscreen using -x, everything seems to work, but for some reason, my keyboard and trackpad doesn't respond --> I can't login --> What can I do?

 

Install voodops2.kext
Easiest way is probably if its on the idebneb install disc.
Alternatively, put the voodoops2.kext on a usb stick you know the name of that has no spaces in the name. Then boot in single user mode and follow the instructions to mount the volumes.
Then use it as terminal,
do
cp -R /Volumes/usbstick/voodoops2.kext /Volumes/leopardhd/System/Library/Extensions
cd /Volumes/leopardhd/System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel voodoops2.kext
chmod -R 755 voodoops2.kext
exit
then once it loads, reboot and type -v -f at the prompt and you should have trackpad and keyboard

 

Code:

cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/Extensions

u need a backslash escape character to input the space properly or

Code:

cd /Volume
cd "Machintosh HD"
cd System/Library/Extensions
