treyhamilton25 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I have a question, my specs are MSi S6000 ms-16D3 Intel HD Graphics Core i5 Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Dual Core Intel i5 520M, 2666MHz x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 Realtek ALC888/1200 DDRIII 1333 Installed perfectly. Got the wifi working with the Atheros fix. When updating to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 and rebooting I get kernel panics or stuck at apple screen with spinning wheel. I've tried cpus=1 and cpus=1 busratio=19, along with -v -f and even tried -x. All seem to keep me at the Apple screen. However when I just boot normally, it panics. I've tried backing up IOPCIFamily and a couple more from other updating threads. Then ran kextutility to "fix permissions" AND ran disk utility to fix permissions. According to another post here I should be able to update from apple with no problems. However, I seem to be having them. Also when booting I have to use a boot disk. Could that be causing the issues? And if so, is there a way around it without a reinstall? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Are you using the Combo update from Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yes, both were combo updates. I have them on my flash drive, because I figured after the first two fails I'd slide them over to keep from waiting on the downloads again.

Shaneee Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I had a similar problem but the difference is I have an AMD. Do a search for the 10.6.8 Legacy Kernel. Back up your IOPCIFamily first. Install the 10.6.8 update but don't reboot. After its installed run the Legacy Kernel installer. Once done replace the IOPCIFamily with the one's from your 10.6.3 installation and reboot.

treyhamilton25 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm leaving for a wedding right now. I'll try again as soon as I get back and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 No problem. Hope it works. You should be able to get a retail installation of Lion working Enjoy the wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 So I found two Legacy Kernel V8 R2 and 10.6.8. I'm going to assume its the 10.6.8? Or are they both the same? Edit: I actually didn't have the 10.6.8 one on my drive, only 10.6.6 with .7 update. Spending tonight downloading the ComboUpdate then following your directions tomorrow morning. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully I'll be able to put 10.6.8 in my sig instead of .3. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well, I'm not getting panics. I'm just getting stuck at the apple screen. If I try to boot with the boot cd then it panics. I'm giving you this update from my phone. I'm hoping I don't have to reinstall. :-/ Without** boot cd. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Edit: we'll, I'm going to just reinstall I guess. I have no clue why this won't work. I've even done GraphicsEnabler=No. Ugh. I tried booting a Lion installation DVD but all it does it stay on the apple screen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have a couple pics taken. I'll post them once I get a reinstall. Right now I'm trying iAtkos L2.. It booted the installation just fine. Installing now to see if it works. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Be sure to only select what you need in the installation for your hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh I did. I only things I really needed were network and a couple hardware things like USB and battery etc. Ok, installed. Got stuck at apple screen. Booted -v and it stopped at "wowPARAMETERS wowevents 2(1)" and 0(0). Got a pic. Going to use my gf's pc to upload because it's not letting me with my phone. After I let it sit for a few minutes it changed.. Been like this for a while now.. Here's the pic. Fml: trying to do a reinstall and not it's giving me an error. "installation failed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can your pc boot from USB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think I got it to install again. 2 minutes remaining. Guess I had some setting messed up or something. Also this is iatkos l2.. Not the actual lion DVD because it wouldn't go to installation. Just would stay at apple screen. Ok.. L2 is back on my laptop. Now we are back to the pic I posted. Edit: the ApplePS2AlpsGlide stuff isn't on there this time though. Not yet anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaneee Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Your best bet is a retail instalation method. Follow this tutorial. I used it to install Lion to my intel laptop with no problems. http://osx86.co/f100/how-install-osx-lion-on-pc-t7279/ Report back with how you get on.

treyhamilton25 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I was looking through the stuff I had and I have a Lion 10.7 GM USB Hack.dmg.. Sound useful? **My pc CAN boot from usb** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Is it the install? If so it should work. Install it to the USB via Disk Utility on a Mac if you have access or TransMac on Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well I have snowleo back on mine so i'm using that.. Have to restore the dmg to the usb drive after formatting it for mac right? Edit: Well apparently the one I have has some errors reading from the disk. So I'm going to redownload. ETA is 3-4 hours. Guess I'll go play some video games until its done. Then I'll restore to flash drive and try to install.. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
