the poi Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have had a vanilla install of 10.5.2 running for a while. However, whenever I try to install 10.5.3 (either with the delta or the combo updater) the system will kernel panic at the same percentage at the "copying files" stage of the install. Anyone have this problem, and a solution? Any ideas on how I can log whatever is failing?

the poi Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 It never even finished copying the files (assuming the installer was accurately describing what it was doing). OSX only loads kexts at startup, so that kext only needs to be deleted before it reboots, not during the installation. Unless, of course, it is trying to load the kext, that would explain it, I suppose, but I didn't have any issues upgrading to 10.5.2 by just installing, deleting AICPUPM, modifying the startup script, and restarting.

mrbonkers Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 the kext needs to be deleted during the installation because the installer loads the power management kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111795-kernel-panic-with-1053-update/#findComment-792119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
