10.5.3 Update Crashes

[EricAwesome]

When I download the 10.5.3 update and restarted my computer like it tells me, the update gets to around 21% installed and then crashes, giving the "You Need to Restart Your Computer" message. When I try to start my computer up again I get these even more complex, cryptic error messages on a grey screen, with another Restart message. Does anybody know why? Is there a workaround?

 

I'm using the Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 disc.

 

Dell Dimension E510

Intel Pentium D 820

Intel 945G Chipset

nVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS Graphics Card (installed graphics drivers from Kalyway disc)

Sigmatel STAC9220 Audio Codec

so you downloaded the 105.3 update and followed the instructions on this site? or you downloaded the pre patched 10.5.3? because if you just downloaded and installed 10.5.3 from apple, then you b0rked your system. Not sure how you fix it

I have the same problem, accidental updated to 10.5.3 thinking I unselected it. Crashed at 37% and now cant boot into OSX. Any help to fix this would be appreciated

i've never encountered this problem before. did you use the script from netkas before installing the patch? if not i think it's appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext which is causing the crashes. try botting into your dvd, go into terminal and type:

 

cd ..

cd ..

cd ..

cd ..

cd /Volumes/your leopard hard disk name/System/Library/Extensions

ls

 

find AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, if it exist, delete using rm -rf ./AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

do a ls again and see if the file exist.

 

reboot your com and boot using the -f -v flag and look out for kernel panics.
