Snick Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Since configuration is pretty close to mine, and i'm facing the same issue, i'd like to add screenshots of the kernel panic i got every time i try to reboot now. I can access the hd from another partion (w Snow Leopard), let me know what i should do .. Tnx so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soemo Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Same issue here. Gigabyte X58s-UD3R, 12GB, 1GB 4870. It seems Chameleon could be out of date. I guess I'll be ripping out my SSD and hooking it up to a caddy and installing r1496 to see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnullimaus Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi, I am facing the same issue. I can also access the Lion Partition via another Partition. tried Chameleon r1496 as well as Chameleon r1618 but no success. I have no sleepenabler kext installed, but did try the most recent sleepenabler.kext also, but also no change. Also, changing the graphics card from ATI 6850 to the old NVIDIA 8600 didn't change anything. Disabling the azalia codec (ALC889) in BIOS didn't help. I am also using a GigaByte Mainboard: gigabyte ga-ep35-ds3p, 8 GB Ram, Q9550 QuadCore CPU. Any Ideas? Any success Stories in upgrading to 10.7.2 especially on GigaByte Boards? (for now, all people in the thread use GigaByte boards ...) best regards, Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnullimaus Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi, found the solution in another thread in this forum. I had to add this: <key>SMboardproduct</key> <string>Mac-F221BEC8</string> to /Extra/smbios.plist 10.7.2 boots after that for me.

getintheremac Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I had to do the same thing a few days ago it worked like a charm. I used TonyMacX86's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to change my profile to Mac Pro 4,1. (before running combo update again). I did run into a KP with AppleTyMCEDriver.Kext after that, but removed and rebooted into 10.7.2 with facetime working (serial number issue).

doradekell Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 <key>SMboardproduct</key><string>Mac-F221BEC8</string> to /Extra/smbios.plist 10.7.2 boots after that for me. Confirmed! I was getting the same kernel panic before the installer was finished. Just added the two lines above to the plist rebooted and the install completed without a hitch. Used this bootloader to solve iCloud sign up issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medorpg Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 If you have access to Windows, You can install MacDrive which gives you access to your Mac drives on Windows Then browse to your extensions folder and delete it then boot ok, i did the change in smbios, and now no Kernel panic on boot,but prompt for still waiting for root device Now I'm facing the same problem as you do I didnt have an Extra folder so I created it then I created smbios.plist inside it and added these two lines and when I boot I reach the "Kernel is LP64" message then I hear my HDD's power turned off and that's it Any solution ?

medorpg Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I also tried the r1496 but still I also tried the r1618 and the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cili0 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 after some trial & errors, i'm quite sure that it is something related to the kext cache. If I don't create them after updating the system will boot with no problems, otherwise the system won't boot (still waiting for root device): kextcache -v 2 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions this is the command that breaks my system. Any advice? cheers, cili0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
