Does printf work ??

Yes, it reminds me of heavy C-hacking (25 years ago)

After the update, I get a "Installing Software Update: About 2 minutes" message, followed by a reboot, and then I do the F12 bashing and that's it...
The same for me. 2 minutes installing the update and then reboot ....
This could be the real cause of the problem, upgrade on upgrade on upgrade ....

Why? You need none of the above! Not sure if it's messing up with your setup, but that sounds like you followed a Hackintosh blog...
No, I am using "real" Macs (Book, iMac,mini) - no need to follow Hackintos blogs. I just want to get displayed correct values, when I open "About this Mac".
These values can also be some artifacts from the beginning, when I tried to virtualize tiger - and this was not so easy cheesy
I will try to remove them all, if they are not needed.

Yes thats right. The VM is only a sandbox tool for testing.
