AvinashRx Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I am not able to update iATKOS 4 to 10.5.5 whenever i install I get a Kernel Panic in the middle and then it asks me to restart my computer and after that mac doesn't load up but keeps on restarting it self........PLS help...... I had installed 1.My Nvidia 512 MB Driver 2. Sata Driver 3. NTFS support driver 4. Intel Speedster These four were checked along with the main system files along with the Darwin Bootloader.....Is there anything else i need to install along with these ....... Any kind of help will be appreciated .... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 the panic in the middle is the piracy protection installing and stopping the kernel there's a script to remove it as soon as it's installed, but it never works for me, it installs and runs before the script catches it I now use the intelCPUPMDisabler.kext on my machines so they will update without crashing when it boots up after the install it'll do a little update and reboot again, use -v so you can watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabrusch Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 OK, what I did was 1) Installed the IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext from the link above using OSX86Tools (best way to install kext) 2) Restarted MAC OS 3) Downloaded Update from apple website (the one referred to in the link) 4) Ran the netkas Script (Open Terminal the type: "sudo -s" then "while sleep 1; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext;" 5) Installed Update with the usual routine NO RESTART 6) Closed Terminal, reopened and typed: "sudo -s" then "nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1" 7) Restart 8) Two times booted with -v -f (At the first time it stopes which is OK) And then I had to unplug my grafics card and start with the onboard. Install the suiting driver from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=107526 Replug grafics card Done Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabrusch Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well, I unplugged it, because after I upgraded I just had my background, the dock and nothing else. No top bar, no folders or files on the desktop and the dock was not clickable. But I heard the computer processing so I figured that it might be the grafics driver that got screwed and that was the answer. Good luck and keep us updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathensley Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 gabrusch, do you have dsmos.kext referenced in your startup (1) script? krrr, maybe this is why your & my upgrade still fails with the endless rebooting - maybe we have to have this kext in the startup script (I currently do not have it) still endless rebooting - any ideas?

pathensley Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I finally gave up & used Mysticus C*'s combo update pre/post patches: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=109102&hl= here are my steps: 1) install iatkos 10.5.4 - remove gmax3100 kexts - reboot 2) run MC's pre-update patch 3) run combo 10.5.5 4) remove power & gmax3100 kexts 5) run MC's post-update patch (I selected the 9.2.0 ToH kernel & APIC kext) 6) boot from iatkos cd & use vi to cp all kexts from /backup* folder back into extensions folder 7) boot w/-v -f & wait for stop 8) reboot & finish installing drivers so now I have 10.5.5 & all drivers working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The reason why he doesn't give out the link is because the forum moderators don't want it to be posted in public. So please delete the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
