Sleepenabler.KEXT causing Kernal Panic on my Lifehacker Hackintosh Build!

Yikes!

 

I have so much school work on my Hackintosh that I need to access.

 

I guess I should have used the EP45-UD3Pv3 installer before updating to 10.6.2. The update removes the Sleepenabler.kext for compatibilities sake. This sleepenabler.kext is causing the kernal panic.

 

Any suggestions on what to do from here?

 

Mac-less in Evanston!

I finally got it fixed. I booted from the USB SL install and started a terminal session. From there I changed directory to the SL install on the HD and backed up the mach_kernel. Copied over the old mach_kernel from the USB install and rebooted.

 

This got rid of the kernel panic. Applied Stell's version 3 installer and restored the backed up kernel from the 10.6.2 update and reboot.

 

Everything is working again!

Please, can you explain it step-by-step? I do not know how to do it using terminal. Thanks!!!!

I assume you followed the install from the Lifehacker article. After you boot from the USB SL install and choose your language, go the the Utilities -> Terminal. A terminal window will appear.

 

Type the following minus the comments:

 

cd /Volumes/Mac OS X (or whatever the name you used for the OS X install)

\cp mach_kernel mach_kernel.10.6.2 (make a copy of the updated 10.6.2 kernel)

\cp /mach_kernel mach_kernel (this copies the old kernel from the USB install to the HD)

 

Exit the OS X installation.

 

Reboot. Run Stell's version 3 installer.

 

Copy back the 10.6.2 kernel you made a copy of in the step above:

 

cd /

cp mach_kernel.10.6.2 mach_kernel

 

Reboot and everything should work again.

Thanks for your explanation. I used Conti myhack installer (PCEFI 10.5, Chameleon RC3 i think) for a vanilla retail install. I will investigate about Stell's installer in order to follow your steps.

Love this site!

 

I second everything you just said lol. I was even asking questions on this site, but no one knew exactly what the problem was. I have the GA-EP45-UD3P and was having the same problem. I was unaware that there was even a version 3 of the installer!

 

So once again... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

 

One thing i do not like though is the new boot loader theme. It is basically the same, but has those ugly icons. Like the obey logo instead of the apple logo? why? not a big deal, i just dont get it :)
