Update about the update: it broke my Reminders application. When i tried to open it, i got a incompatible OS version warning and, looking at console, i got this:


Dyld Error Message:
  Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_CLGeocoder
  Referenced from: /Applications/Reminders.app/Contents/MacOS/Reminders
  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework/Versions/A/CoreLocation
in /Applications/Reminders.app/Contents/MacOS/Reminders

Anyway, this one was an easy one to solve: i have a rescue install of ML  10.8.0 in a 16 GB thumb drive (not an installer, but an installation of OSX. Slow as hell, since the data flows at USB 2.0 speed, but quite useful. Anyway, the installer could also be used; remember: the installer of OSX contains the entire OSX!) so i plugged it in an USB port and, when it mounted, i just navigated to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework/Versions/A and copied the CoreLocation Unix executable. Then, i just put it in the place of the one which was at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework/Versions/A of my netbook, and voilà: everything back to normal.

Tip: keep a rescue installation, or at least your OSX installer, always ready!

The installer started just fine, but when i was prompted to choose a disk to install, all of them were marked with these warning signs, a yellow triangle with a black exclamation. At the dialog box, the reason: java issues. Happened before, when an installer goes awful: i have no probs with java at all. So, i used pacifist and force it to install. I recommend you to do that.

the reason the installer gave me was not a java issue, it said "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"  
going to try the pacifist way and force the install.
i'll report back to let you guys know how it went.

I think these "reasons" are random ones, since it looks like a bug, an abnormal behavior. Good luck with the update!

i forced the install, and so far everything seems to be working fine.
i restarted the computer and nothing messed up so i think it worked great.

side note: i wanted to see what would happen in the installer now that i'm on 10.8.1.
the installer seems to work fine now. it was going to let me install 10.8.1 with no errors this time.

Good, r15177. Glad to know the Pacifist worked for you!

As i understand, you tested all the features (like the core apps, reboot/restart etc.), right? You're using the 10.8 kernel or replaced it with the 10.8.1 one?

[r15177]

yep, i went down the list and they all opened, i restarted a couple times just to make sure.
everything seems to be all good here.
btw thanks for posting the things you went through, i didn't know about pacifist

i'm running the new 10.8.1 kernel
