BlackCH Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well, I runned the software update today. The listed items were: AirPort Utility Security Update 2008-002 Time Machine and Airport Updates Safari 3.1 Â After restart I tryed to load the CPU throttler; system froze. Â uname -a revealed a 9.2.2 kernel that came through.... Â The new system files are includded in the Time Machine update. Backup your kernel, System.kext, IO80211Family.kext....

~pcwiz Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Lol Apple is secretly trying to poison the system. Its not the Safari update, cause its known good, I think its probably the Security Update, but it could the the Time Machine one too. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to restore my kernel after doing those updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outZider Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 It's the Time Machine update that sneaks in the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyCone Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Damn, I was sure something would be in the Security update, so I updated the Time Machine I haven't rebooted yet when he asked me to, as I was suspecting something... Is my kernel already overwritten or will OS X do it after changing user mode when rebooting ? If so, I can probably still make a backup of my kernel (updated to 10.5.2), can't I ? Hehe the reason I ask is I have no idea how to, anybody could give me a hint ?I'm running a Kalyway 10.5.1 with an updated kernel (vanilla I think), and have already copied any file ressembling a kernel from /. (files called : vanilla, mach_kernel.*, tohkernel). Will copy them back after rebooting (and failing)... Hope this will do the trick ?Or do you guyz know if the install program does it at shutting down so I could probably just reboot on the Kalyway DVD in -s mode directly after the first reboot ?

BlackCH Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you replace back your kernel after the update and before any restart it will work just fine. You will need the old 9.2.0 System.kext as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniBUU Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My system seems like its running fine. What would be the effects of the updated kernel. Does the kernel have anything to do with like the sata drivers? Because right now my only problem is my sata odd wont burn disk, saying that it couldnt connect.

S.SubZero Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Replacing the kernel alone apparently doesn't fix the problem. The update replaces the kernel, system.kext, and a few other files, apparently with versions that *require* the 9.2.2 in order to function. Rolling back from this sounds a little tricky.

heliox Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 On my Pentium 4 (Prescott) EFI system, I only had to replace it with the speedstep 9.2.0 kernel from IRC. Not the system.kext though : strange!!! It works with the new one. For those who didn't back them up, just go to the IRC and fetch your kernel and replace the newer with it by any means : from another partition ( Windows with Macdrive or another osx build ). Never tried with the installation DVD and a usbkey : any feedback on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschilling Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My Gateway updated to 9.2.2 without a problem so far. I still have to avoid the Graphic update, but that's the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknojunkie Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 if you have vanilla kernel and EFI you should be fine as I just selected everything including time machine update restarted and everything was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 well what do you do if you dont have vanilla efi, and you messed up your system, restored from backup and have blue screen.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinlar Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Updates applied successfully in system listed in signature. I did not have to replace any kexts or kernel since I use the vanilla kernel. All seems well thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Update will work fine in EFI/vanilla systems. I rolled back to 9.2.0 kernel/system.kext to have speedstep on my lap; Besides with the new kernel everything seemed bit slower... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 When I rebooted my PC after the update and it began to reboot again and again I told "All right, I broke it" Then I restored the 9.2.0 kernel and it worked. I had also to repair permissions on the Extensions folder and remove Extensions.mkext in order to make my D-Link USB Wireless adapter to work again.

cyclonefr Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i'll post later on a patched SSE3 kernel 9.2.2 thanx to kabyl ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pet1 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 On a hack machine it works. Using a pentium 4. After the update you have to boot into another os and copy the 9.2 kernel over. It replaces the kernel at shutdown, that's why it's overwriting it if you copy it before restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBUU Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I dont even think I installed the time machine update, I didnt select it to download. I shut my pc off like normal and came home and it doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
