Grahfex Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Graphex,tell me if you reinstall to 10.6.2 and when you do..so we can do it right this time EDIT: Just remembered... boot your install dvd,open utilities and go to terminal. Type "df" and see what partition is your Snow Leopard installed.It will be something like "rdisk0s2". Then do: mount - o remount,rw/ -t /dev/rdisk0s2 <--- replace with your partition designator. Then: cd /Volumes/your-partition-name/System/Library/Extensions/ Then you need to remove SleepEnabler.kext ... rm -rf SleepEnabler.kext . Then type-> kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions .Than just reboot Good thing I looked back at this post..I was on my way to reinstalling OSX..But I will try this first and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahfex Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ok I think I'm going to start over from scratch, Still got that nasty kernel panic so I'm going to do a fresh install Is there anything I need to do different this time as far as choosing my kexts and drivers?

.picodev Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well,you can try one more thing.. If your USB works in safemode, download this AnVAL5.zip and transfer it over there,unzip on desktop,go to terminal and do : sudo -i . Enter your pass then: cd /Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/Desktop/AnVal Then type: fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 <-- assuming you only have one hard drive in your computer.. then type: if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 <--- again replace rdisk0sx with x being the number of your partition.. and then finally type: cp boot / .That's it,the new bootloader is installed..that may solve your kernel panic.If that doesn't help,then a reinstall and a fresh start is the best option. EDIT: also,can you post the contents of the file in /Extra/smbios.plist ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahfex Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ok I'm back. I tuned on the system and got a KP so I decided to do a fresh install. I'm determined to get this right. So..I just need to get those kexts that you mentioned yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valv Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Then type: fdisk -f boot0 -u -u /dev/rdisk0 hi hausbox, nice to see you sharing knowledge: this is the way it has to btw, pay attention to mistyped chars (second -u should be -y no?)
