Dewdman42 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I was afraid to upgrade to 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 and today my fears were fully realized when I tried to do it using netkas instructions and now my machine will not boot. when i get to the Darwin boot menu I hit enter, or try -s or any other boot flags and it flashes a few lines of text and then resets the machine immediately. i did back up my extensions and I have already tried to restore them all by booting with the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD that I have. But no luck. I have tried to copy vanillakernel into the place of mach_kernel, which also did not work. I was attempting to go directly from Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 with the combo updater from apple using netkas instructions. Does anyone know what I can do to rescue the machine? I did follow Netkas instructions exactly in terms of the sleep loop and changing the DO NOT STEAL line before restart. stuck in the water and desperate now. Anyone have any ideas?

peach-os Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 check if the AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext was installed and delete it. the netkas instructions worked for 10.5.2 flawless, but for 10.5.3 I had to delete AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext manually - the script didn´t do it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114549-failed-netkas-update-to-1054-can-anyone-help-me-rescue/#findComment-811204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

General_Cartman Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 You could have just installed the update directly coz you were running a Vanilla system...

Dewdman42 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 if the combo updater didn't work, why would the direct update have worked? I have been going back and forth between vanilla and sleepkernel lately...using osx86tools. Its possible that sleepkernel was enabled when i did the update. Is that the issue?

General_Cartman Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 What i meant was you didn't need to go through the steps needed to install 10.5.2 or 10.5.3, you can just run the combo update as is on systems that can run vanilla kernel. If your computer is rebooting as soon as it tries to load OSX, maybe it has something to do with AppleACPIPlatform.kext?

Dewdman42 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I dunno what to say there, that is why i am asking. I followed netkas instructions to the letter. Anyway, I am whiping my system and starting over as nobody seems to be able to give clear answers about this. thanks.

mac_maestro Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I dunno what to say there, that is why i am asking. I followed netkas instructions to the letter. Anyway, I am whiping my system and starting over as nobody seems to be able to give clear answers about this. thanks. 10.5.3 is a big update. Try going to that first, using Kalyway or JaS. Then back it up to a usb drive using Hatchery_H1 and install Chameleon on the backup using osx86 tools. Boot into that and make sure it boots ok. Once you've got that, boot back into your 10.5.3 and do the apple update to 10.5.4, if you must. It's a relatively small update and didn't seem to mess up my system. But i went back to 10.5.3 because there wasn't anything in .4 that I needed. I did need to go to .3 for the brother printer drivers.
