thrawn5499 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi I have been trying to get snow leopard installed on my dc5100 for a while now. i did manage to get it up and runnig once with a patched hazard install but after reboot it would give a kernel panic. i have moved to the IATKOS and after install i got the waiting for root device.... i tried installing some of my kext i am using on the 10.5.7 build but that just lead to a kernel panic. after readying some tips i installed IATKOS to my flash drive and it boots great. so i am guessing i am just not using the correct kext files can some one please point me in the right direction? one thing to not when booting from my flash drive i can not see the hd or the dvd player on the system. i also have not internet or sound but i think i can maybe get those fixed thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn5499 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 ok I have another issue. I made a backup of my extensions folder with osx86 tools and also copied the extensions folder to another hd just to be safe. I tried to add my networking kext i am using on my 10.5.7 system, but when i restarted now i get a kernel panic. it is the same kernel panic I get on my hd and i have posted screen shots of it and know one seems to know anything about it. is there anything i can do shot of reinstalling from the dvd to flash drive to fix the problem? i restored the folder on the flash drive but that didn't work. please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameci Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 do you have a sata hdd? set it to ahci in the bios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn5499 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 do you have a sata hdd? set it to ahci in the bios... the computer has a sata and an ide installed. i have to use the ide for snow leopard as the sata is to small and it is running my xp... I have not seen any options for AHCI in the bios i looked but i am not sure my MB has that option. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn5499 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 ok i finally got snow leopard booting on my internal hd it loads fine but i have no audio or internet. I made a backup of my extensions in osx86tools and then tried to install the kext i am using in my 10.5.7 but now i get a kernel panic. so i removed them but the kernel panic is still there how do i fix this? I booted with -f i thought this was supposed to reload the kext or something. what do i need to do to get internet and audio working in snow leopard if i can't just use the same kext i used in leopard?

thrawn5499 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 ok this is really pissing me off. I just installed a kext that is knows working in this pc and in snow leopard but i get a kernel panic now on reboot. it does not seem to matter if i restore my extensions folder to what they were before i installs the kext it seams that if the computer ever has to rebuild the extension cache or what ever it does when you boot with -f it will give me a kernel panic. I luckily made a backup of the drive as soon as i got it booted so it only takes about 3 mins to restore vs the 30 mins reinstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn5499 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I read on the forums here that i have to rebuild the mkext file every time a kext is added so i will try doing this hopefully that fixes the problem though i have my doubts. I saved a copy of the extensions folder and the mkext file and when i replaced the modified ones with the originals I still get the panic. so i don't think rebuilding them is going to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
