Snow Leopard crashes when updating. SCREENSHOT!

[TRBMan]

I have an Acer Aspire 5745 laptop. Specs below.

Intel® Core™ i5-450M

4GB (2/2) DDR3 1066 SDRAM

320GB hard drive

BD Drive

not to sure about the motherboard or anything.

 

I've been following the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] guide that is found here to install Snow Leopard on my PC. I've successfully booted into OS X (with a few minor issuse) and set up my account, browsed the web, etc. However when the guide says to install Combo Update 10.6.4, my system crashes before the update can complete. It says something to the effect "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button". i'm gonna try iATKOS_S3 as soon as its done downloading, but i didn't know if there was anything else I was doing wrong that someone could help me with. I plan on making this a dual boot machine with Windows 7. The BIOS settings are set to AHCI and i made sure I formatted the parition with the correct settings. please help!

EDIT-------------

iATKOS S3 didn't work. i booted in verbose mode and took a screen shot of the kernel panic here. please help!

panic during installing update

 

it is due to kexts responsable for south bridge (sata controller)

 

trun sata on bios to achi and dont use any kexts for it

 

you can try retail setup on my signture only dont use kernel of retial dvd

 

by flag

 

/mach_kernel

 

good luck

bear with me, i'm a noob.

SATA is set to ACHI in BIOS.

you lost me in the next part of your post. this is what i've gathered. tell me if i understand correctly or not.

Install OS X like I have been doing, but than before I boot OS X for the first time i use the /mach_kernel flag?

on boot cd

 

there are a kernel called legacy_kernel 10.4

 

you dont need in your processor

 

and this kernel is loaded as default rather than on retial snow leopard 10.6.3 dvd mach_kernel

 

so to load vinalla kernel on dvd

 

type

 

/mach_kernel

 

during setup and first boot

 

that if you want to follow my guide

 

you can use legacy_kernel on bootcd of you have aproblem with vinalla one

i tried using your boot CD, but my trackpad and keyboard on my laptop became unresponsive during the OS X setup so I had to go back to using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD. i'll try using the /mach_kernel flag and see if it works out for me.

i'm not to sure how to find out that information. is that the information listed in "System Profiler"?

I'm currently installing OS X and I was gonna try to boot the /mach_kernel after the setup.

i couldn't boot the retail disc using /mach_kernel because it would just restart my computer and not boot the OS X disc.

 

EDIT-------

everytime i use the /mach_kernel flag, whether before the setup, or on the partition that Snow Leopard gets installed too, my computer just restarts.

i'm not really understanding you. i have an i5 processor. not i7. right now, i have a successful 10.6.0 installation running. i'll wait until i hear back from you to do anything further.

contain two kernel

one default vinalla mach_kernel 10.4

second legacy_kernel 10.4 you can use it by flag

rd(0,0)/extra/legacy_kernel

 

contain kexts

fakesmc

and ps2 kexts only

boot loader chamelon rc5 rev315

 

first try with flag

-v

good luck

 

for above post

this boot disc doesn't work. whenever i try to boot the retail disc, i get an error at the top of the screen that says

"Memory allocation error! Addr=0x836d200, Size=0x1ecfc, File=free, Line=0

This is a non recoverable system error! System HALTED!!!"

 

that happens regardless of what flags i use.

no luck. when i boot with the "rd(0,0)/extra/legacy_kernel" flag, my computer just restarts and when i boot without any flags, i get the following kernel panic.

ok this panic mean that bad kexts loaded (intel power mang....) during using vinalla kernel

 

 

use flag

rd(0,0)/extra/legacy_kernel busratio=16 -v

good luck

good luck

[TRBMan]

using the HP disc that you just gave me made the install fail. it went through the install process for 20 minuets like it always does, but instead of the install succeeding, it failed. it has always installed correctly with the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc. don't know what it could be.

 

EDIT----------

even though it said install failed, i was able to boot into Snow Leopard using the "rd(0,0)/extra/legacy_kernel -v" flag

couple issues though. trackpad doesn't work, no sound, no battery support, cant change resolution or brightness of screen, webcam doesn't work.

[TRBMan]

booted into OS X, tried the update and it crashed. i'll have to reinstall and try again because i forgot to take a screenshot.

[SupahFly]

TRBMan, I'm in more or less the exact situation you're in. My machine is an i5 Acer Aspire TimelineX so I guess it is similar to yours. I have dual graphics, a standard intel one and an ATI Mobility 5650 card but I haven't been able to install or boot with the ATI switched on.

 

I managed to run and install successfully using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] supported with the flags

-x EHCIacquire=No UHCIreset=No

I don't know why I need the last two, but I get EBIOS errors immidiately when I don't provide them. I installed 10.6.2 from a usb stick.

 

After install I can start osx with my intel card with just the EHCIacquire=No flag. Like you, I was following the guide and when I went to do an update to 10.6.4, I get the exact same crash just at the end of the install process.

 

WHen I rebooted however, I actually booted up osx again and it says I have 10.6.4. I still can't enable my ATI card though and running [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (which Im not even sure what it does) I thereafter couldnt run windows7 (from another partition).

 

I would like to know how I can get a successful update to 10.6.4 without a kernel panic, how I can make my osx boot without the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] cd (without messing up my existing windows7 install preferably), and if it is possible for me to turn on my ATI 5650 card somehow.

 

I really don't know what to try next and would be really grateful if someone could shove me in the right direction.

[iPhoneBlogr]

I have the same exact computer as OP, same specs(i5) except I can't even get as far as they've managed. I am using the same [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]+[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] tutorial and I have tried both [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Nvidia and the same exact thing happens with both. When I get to the Chameleon prompt I eject my [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc and insert Mac OSX 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and press f5, but when I press f5 the disc dissappears and this weird smudge shows up across all the text.

 

I can still make out the text though, from left to right it goes: System Restore | Windows NT | OSX(the blank partition I've created to install on) | Then there's an icon of a hard drive with no text under it. Here is what I mean:

 

 

Any ideas why this might be happening??

 

And yes I have enabled SATA mode AHCI in Bios already.

 

Thanks in advance!
