madmatrixz3000 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I just did a software update on my hackintosh which was installed with Kalyway 10.5.2. When I restarted like it asked me to it went through the whole writing Garage Band Update to disk then it asked me to physically restart my comp with my restart button, so I did. Then at restart, darwin goes through and the Apple logo and loading circle come up then my screen shades to a darker grey and tells me to restart again so I do and the problem still exists. All I did was do an update and I used the driver installer from this post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry780357 (did not use nVidiaInject) I think I've read that I need to put in a command in Darwin when it is loading but I have no idea what the command(s) i need to use are.

macbrush Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The message you see requesting a reboot by restart button is actually kernel panic. Which update did you apply?

madmatrixz3000 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I just use software updater in OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110193-update-stoppping-my-hackintsoh/#findComment-782406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolied Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I just use software updater in OSX Well, what probably happened was you installed the stock Apple 10.5.3 update, which is a major update and deletes alot of kexts that are customized for OSX86. You need to be very careful with software update, check these forums and only install updates that are said to be okay, for OS revision updates such as 10.5.2 --> 10.5.3 use something like the Kalyway Combo Updater........... Now as I said, I think I know what hosed your install, but i'm not so sure exactly what you need to do to fix it...... I know the hacked update prevents certain new kexts from getting copied..........

Saved a lot of time and hassle. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110193-update-stoppping-my-hackintsoh/#findComment-782545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for future reference, I used the Kalyway Combo Update 10.5.3 and it worked fine........ it automatically fixes the problem while it is installing itself.

Yea, i didn't realize that until i had run the Apple version of the update. Oops! Made sense to me, everything else (iMovie, Garageband, etc...) All required the Apple updates, so why not the kernel? My logic was WAAAYY off. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110193-update-stoppping-my-hackintsoh/#findComment-785694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Would have been NO PROBLEM if you were actually running a MAC! So your must be so close to perfect that you didn't realize it was still a PC! ( a bit like my two!) SticMAN Yea, i didn't realize that until i had run the Apple version of the update. Oops! Made sense to me, everything else (iMovie, Garageband, etc...)
