pi2pi Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi all, I have installed Kalyway 10.5.2 with darwin Kernel 9.2. Everything works fine, but i'm facing some USB problem. I would like to try updating my Darwin Kermal and system system before i try a doing reinstallation for my OS. I read online that the newest version of Darwin is 9.2.2 but have done alot of search on both this forum and on google, but i cant find where i can get the updated kernel nor details on how to update my kernel too. Please help me. Thank You. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102229-how-to-find-update-darwin-92-to-922/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Kernels at irc.osx86.hu Non-working USB drives generally means that your kernel version is different from your System kext version. Type uname -a in the terminal to find out the kernel version. Do a Get Info on the System kext to find out its version. If the two don't agree, you need to downgrade one, or upgrade the other. You can update the kernel by simply overwriting it (using the cp command). You can test it out first by copying it to the root of the drive, giving it a different name, hitting F8 at startup, and typing the name of kernel at the boot prompt. You can alternatively use an older system kext salvaged from a prior Mac OS update (from Apple's website) using Pacifist. Back up the old with cp -R, and overwrite the new, also with cp -R.
