reijimitsurgi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I recently upgraded from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. I was stupid and forgot to check for special instructions online, and now I get kernel panics upon boot. I've used some LiveCDs to try to get AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext off of the drive, but to no avail. Under normal circumsrances, i would use the boot disc, but it's lost. Is there any way I can remove the .kext without downloading iAtkos again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNutty Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 At the boot prompt use -s option to boot into single user mode. Once at the prompt use the following command: rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext Once done Reboot and again at boot prompt use -f option to boot so that it will update its extension cache. That all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdand Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi, I'm planning to update from 10.5.2 Kalyway installed MacOS to 10.5.5 with a Gigabyte EP45-DS4. I was told that I can use the built-in software updater, only need to use IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext before it. My question is, that after a successful update (I hope ) can I remove this kext, so the CPU Power Management will be back, or have I keep it installed, and forget about the power management feature? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
