Justin Edwards Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have been googling everywhere for the answer but it seems that no one else had this problem. the snow leopoard installs fine using hazards dvd but i can't update to 10.6.3 or 10.6.4. You see the problem is that when i run the installer it seems to work fine then when it gets to the registering updated components part it ends with a kernel panic saying refusing new kexts. then i reboot it then it is stuck in a infinite reboot loop. I have the right kernel for it installed and I can't seem to find out why I can't update please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enochpc Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 One way to install the updates that I have had success with is to copy the entire contents of the Extensions folder to another folder, install the downloaded (not System Update) patch, copy kexts back, and reboot. It would work if you only copy the kexts you need for your hardware (and delete any that need to be deleted) but the copy everything is quick and dirty.

Justin Edwards Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 the problem is that the installation does not even finish and it just gives you a kernel panic everytime I do it and i can't boot into it. the kernel panic says something about refusing new kexts and how older versions are already loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellmantt Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 same heredid you found a solution? Did you get the point about downloading the update from the Apple site and not using software update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lseba Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Did you get the point about downloading the update from the Apple site and not using software update? yes. i've downloaded combo update: 10.6.2 installed ok 10.6.3 KP before ends 10.6.4 KP before ends after that there's no way to boot again. only in single user. verbose shows errors as it were loading kext twice. no one found a solution?
