I have tried on 2 machines - XPF 3.04a and 2.2.5 - to install the combo update. I get an error that the drive doesn't meet the requirements of this update. Does anybody know what it up with that? I was able to load it from the software updater on another machine. |

Your hard drive is probably not formatted correctly. Have to format with Apple drivers (HFS+). |

Apple pulled that update. Why chase your tail to install it? I like a fool installed it on 1 of my Mac's and I can tell you the Trouble is REAL. Don't be foolish (like me) :-P |

I ran it on an 8500 using 3.0a4 and on a 9500 using 2.2.5 - got the same error. It stops at the point of choosing the disk to install on. There are red exclamation marks on the disk and the error - this disk doesn't meet the requirements of the update. I bet the Guru may have to weigh in on this one. |

That could be possible but I have heard reports from all over about problems with enet, pci busses, icons, and other stuff from all mac camps (including the mirror door types) that are not firmware related. Consider yourself lucky! Anyway, to your question, I usually run the combo from 10.2 to 10.2.6 when I run an upgrade. That particular combo ran fine on a 7300, three 8500's, and a 9500. What is your procedure for running the combo, what machine and specs, and what version XPF?? |

I've installed it on 3 machines and have had no problems. I think this one is hysteria because there are a lot of people that don't keep up with firmware updates. ANYWAY - does anyone know why an XPF machine won't load a combo update? I loaded the 10.2.8 from the software update but it wouldn't load from a combo updater. They tend to be less buggy. |
