DoNotIron Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hi, i have problems with my system: -Dell XPS 600 with Pentium 4, 3,4GHz (yes, Pentium and single-core)-4x1GB RAM-nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX-Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Since a few month a got problem while updating. The first kernel panic (screenshot below) was while installing the "security-update 2013-002", all newer security-updates cause the same problem. But a few weeks ago i got the same problem also when updating iTunes, Mozilla Firefox (25.0) and Adobe Acrobat Pro. I didn't change the hardware, last year the RAM was extended from 2 to 4GB. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Take care that the updates don't overwrite your patched kernel. One way to avoid this is to rename it and load it from /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist with kernel=patched_kernel. It doesn't matter which name you give it. Consider using the Chameleon kernelpatcher module instead, this should patch an unmodified kernel on the fly...although, this module wasn't available when I last installed OS X on a P4..so I'm not sure that it'll patch the kernel so that it works on a P4 CPU...but it's definitely worth a try.

DoNotIron Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello, are you sure that the panic is caused by updating for example Adobe? I got kernel panic when updating only: -Safari or -iTunes or -Adobe Acrobat Pro or -security update or -perhaps a few other programs, i didn't try all updates. Edit: Attached screenshot while updating Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
