Kernel panic during program installations

[kpbear]

Hi everybody, I was finally able to get a decent system configuration on my Acer 5315 laptop but since i upgraded to 10.5.6 I get a kernel panic every time I try to install a program (every program really). I just click to launch any DMG file and the system crashes... I never had a single bug before 10.5.6.

I'm using iAtkos 5, EFI v9, kernel 9.2.2... any suggestions?

Thanks.

Now, when you say clicking the dmg, is the dmg already mounted? If you're clicking to mount it, then you need the seatbelt kext and that will fix it for you

Ditto on what Lase said. You need to replace seatbelt.kext from 10.5.6 with the one from 10.5.5. If you did not backup your extensions before you updated you can extract it, using Pacifist, from the 10.5.5 Single Update (not combo) available on apples site.

 

You can backup the current seatbelt if you like. Then place the new seatbelt.kext on your desktop and open Terminal and run the following commands:

 

sudo -s
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/
cp -R ~/Desktop/seatbelt.kext /System/Library/Extensions/seatbelt.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
touch /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
diskutil repairpermissions /

 

Reboot with -v -f

 

This will remove the current seatbelt, add the new seatbelt, correct permissions/ownership and remove the extension cache forcing OSX to rebuilt it.

Thank you so much, it worked.
