woror Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I bought a pre-made Hackintosh last night that had 10.5.1 installed on it. My first plan was to update the OS to 10.5.6. I read a few guides and ended up decided to try this one - http://insanelymac.blogspot.com/2008/12/up...5x-to-1056.html. Unfortunately, I guess I messed up and it forced me to reboot and now I'm getting an error and a request to reboot every time the computer starts up. Is this fixable?

madwh Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Try to post the error here, take a photo of your screen or something. Assuming you already tried -x -f etc get a ideneb 10.5.6 dvd from somewhere and try to lunch the setup (boot normally from it) and after you're in setup lunch terminal and type diskutil list. You'll see where you leopard is installed 1s1 or something like that. Then boot with the dvd again and at boot options (F8) type -v rd=disk1s1 (or what you have) and now you should be able to boot in os x. If it gives you some errors about some kexts while booting, try to delete them from the extensions folder. system/library/extensions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161601-help/#findComment-1130102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
woror Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 I've attached a picture of the error I get when I boot with -v. I'm downloading the ideneb 10.5.6 right now although it will probably take awhile. I have the XxX 10.5.6 Leo Install Disc right now, would that work? Thanks!

madwh Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 There is probably an easier way to fix your problem but I'm no expert. You would probably have to reinstall your kernel somehow. If no one else can help you what I would do is try with the rd=disk1s1 (or what you have) thing with both leo4all and ideneb and if that doesn't work reinstall and contact the person you got your hackintosh from to tell all the drivers and make sure you do it right. I would also let ideneb 10.5.6 finish download and use that if leo4all doesn't work or if after install you want to not have to worry about updating to 10.5.6 You could also go on irc to fusion.osx86.hu and join #hackint0sh, you might get more help there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161601-help/#findComment-1130132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Boot from an OSx86 DVD and use terminal to delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext and clear the extensions cache.
