Hi!

Install the update combo, not the one from the app store.

Then, before restarting, install kozlec's branch of FakeSMC (google for it or search here in Insanelymac).

Try the solution posted by theconnactic.
Otherwise another solution:

There is a AppleACPIPlatform.kext specifically for X58 motherboards that prevents kernel panics.

I uploaded it to my dropbox for you:

https://dl.dropbox.c...atform.kext.zip

Unzip it and copy to root of your hackintosh, in a folder named "newacpi".
Do the upgrade of your hackintosh, reboot and start in single user (-s) .
Then execute these commands,one by one :

fsck -fy
mount -uw /
mkdir /acpibackup
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleACPIPlatform.kext /acpibackup
cd /newacpi/
cp AppleACPIPlatform.kext /System/Library/Extensions

If at reboot with -f all went well, you can remove the folders "newacpi" and "acpibackup" in your root.

Thank you!  Will I not need to rebuild the kextcache?

Simply reboot and start with "-f" .
BTW, i will edit my last post,  my "if all went well,you can remove the folders "newacpi" and "acpibackup" in your root" is relative to the reboot.
If you reboot and all is working you can delete those folders.

Thanks. Btw, for someone else reading this thread, I found the FakeSMC by Kozlek here: https://github.com/k...nsors/downloads

And the update combo: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581

When I do this, it tells me Drivers are missing. :/  I can do a screenshot if needed.

[Fedd]

Ok, post the screenshot.

I dropped the ball... anyway, after installing a DSDT.aml I found for my motherboard, I didn't have problems anymore. Seemed to fix it for me although I'd never needed one before.
