Kalyway 10.5.4-10.5.6

[hellasaucy]

Currently using EFI V8, OS was originally Kalyway 10.5.2 and used Kalyway's method to update to 10.5.4.

 

I was foolish and tried updating to 10.5.6 =/

 

Anyways now it keeps kernel panic'ing everytime it loads that kext.

 

I'm using the boot disc atm to access terminal but I'm having issues deleteing the kext. Apparently it's not deleting.

 

Is there any extra steps i need to take to give myself "root" access under terminal?

 

so far i'm just typing

 

"df" to see my volumes my mac's volume is /Volumes/Hackintosh HD

 

When I type "cd /Volumes/Hackintosh HD"

 

it gives me the error

 

"no such file or directory /Volumes/Hackintosh"

 

Perhaps it's not noticing the space after Hackintosh?

 

I'm at work right now, I believe the command is something like rm -r /Volumes/Hackintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

It'll pause and I'll go to disk utlity on the installer disk to repair permissions and then try and restart.

 

I'll then do the commands and force rebuild cache or something like that before it boots and I still get the kernel panic.

 

I'll log into my windows partition and notice in that directory there is 2 versions of that kext, persumably the old one and the new one that's getting ready to overwrite the old one that caused the system to crash in the first place?

 

No clue what I'm doing wrong in terminal.. unless I need to mount the volume, do some extra steps or something...

 

When I do type those commands in terminals I'm in something like "bash 3.0.2#" (not 100% sure but it something like that)

rm -r /Volumes/Hackintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

Unix, and consequently Linux and Darwin (which is what you're sortof in when you're in Terminal, the Darwin Core under teh Aqua interface of Mac OS X) uses the 'space' " " character as a delimiter in its commandline, and so as in the 'space' between 'rm' and '-r' ... it seems two more cammands to the rm executable.

 

To force that extra 'space' character to behave as part of the name of your hard drive, you have to "excape" that 'space' character. See below and note the backslash before the space.

 

rm -r /Volumes/Hackintosh\ HD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

That 'space' character will now appear as a character to the executable parser, not a delimiter to catch out each control-code to tell the remove executable everything you want it to do.

 

Now, in addition to this, you're problem is that you're trying to delete a system kext. So you need to execute the 'remove' program at system privelages.

 

sudo rm -r /Volumes/Hackintosh\ HD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

It will then ask for your login password. Mac OS X Darwin automatically adds the main login usernames to the sudoers file so that your password grants "root level" access to the operating system when usign the sudo command.

 

I'll assume you fixed up this problem in the month past, but as Google seems to be presenting this as a high search hit, I have completeled the answer in the more descriptive manner I can so that others may learn from it.
