SAWYERx Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I installed OSX 10.6 (Retail) using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported on my laptop. Installation went perfect, no errors whatsoever. I couldn't seem to get wifi and touchad working. Wifi: Atheros AR9285 Touchpad: Alps I found the kext for the wifi, redplaced it with the existing one in S/L/E and used Kext Utility or Kext helper to install the kext. Reboot with -f, but it still won't show up in Airport. I heard AR9285 would work if I updated to 10.6.4 So I downloaded the Combo update from apple's site. Put it on USB stick. Transfered it to my OSX folder. Ran the Update, and when it's nearly finished, with 1 minute remaining, a message pops up saying I have to reboot my machine and I can't do anything, it just freezes. So I turn it off, reboot, then I can't boot OSX up anymore. booting with -v gives me: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4961/snc12041.jpg And sometimes it just stops at FakeSMC key not found BEMB, length -1 -- I have re installed OSX few times now, and every time the update fails and I can't reboot. -- My system: Sony VAIO CPU: Core i3 350m (zelfde als 430m) GPU: AMD HD5650 RAM: 4GB DDR3 Intel HM55 Chipset 500GB HDD Atheros AR9285 (wifi b/g/n) Broadcom Bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inimicus Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Sounds like you might've been missing a disabler of some sort for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Your version of SleepEnabler (assuming you use one) might've been a mis-match. The FakeSMC messages are normal debug. Reinstall and make sure you have up-to-date extensions for the version you're installing handy. Not all aftermarket kexts work with all versions of 10.6.

Neflem Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I agree with inimicus. You were so close. You probably missed a kext or it was replaced with the combo update. I have also heard that 1.0.6.4 supports your WiFi card - so that will be great once you get past this hump. Some advice is not to try to get everything working at once. Next time try booting in single user mode - at least you'll be able to use the shell and add or remove kext's. At Chameleon do a -s for single user mode The you will have to mount your drive. There will be instructions on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
