LioNEXT Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Same for me.... Someone plz abt this step to step guide.... Thx Put your old kernel on a USB drive (find on internet or somewhere). Boot from DVD. Then move (mv command) your new troublesome kernel to some other name (eg mv /Volumes/PartitionName/mach_kernel /Volumes/PartitionName/mack_kernel_trouble ) copy (cp) the old kernel from USB (cp /Volumes/USB/mach_kernel /Volumes.......) to your bootable partition and then repair permissions (look on forums for how to do that for kernel). that should help. but from now on, for god's sake, make a small partition on your hard disk. When you have made a fresh install, copy that (use restore function of disk utility) to the small partition (it will like 10 GB or so). In the future, whenever you run into such problems, simply press F8 during darwin boot and select this small partition for fixing things on your main partition. It is very very painless when compared to what otherwise you have to do. I would rather say that test everything on this small partition first to see if everything is okay. finally make this small partition as the last one in the list because the last partition is the slowest part of your hard disk. And you dont care anyway for a test partition. Peace it!

safwanc Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Quick Endless Reboot Fix If your experiencing endless reboot issues after updating to 10.5.4 via software update, this quick solution may work for you.. I have two machines that I followed the exact same process on and one ended up with endless reboot. The first machine has a Core 2 Duo so its running on a vanilla kernel. The second machine however has a Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT processor and uses the modbin kernel. SO, if you've updated to 10.5.3 with the Kallyway Combo Updater you have probably used the kernel update package included with the updater. To fix the endless reboot issue I simply ran that kernel update package and selected the new modbin kernel for 10.5.3 - then rebooted with "update-v" once more and the endless reboot problem has been fixed because the new kernel from 10.5.4 update that causes the endless reboot has been replaced.
