Marclh Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Fresh install of iDeneb 10.5.4 using the iDeneb upgrade package to 10.5.7 and I'm using the voodoo kernel and just a few kexts for peripherals. I installed the upgrade package and when I boot OS X, it just hangs and never reaches "Jettisoning Kernel Linker" in verbose boot and freezes just after it detects firewire and sets the speed. I don't get a "Still waiting for root device" error either. I CAN boot into Single User mode. I'm not sure what to do.

Larry Flynt Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I didn't start with iDeneb 10.5.4, I was using iPC 10.5.5. I had the same problem, anytime I tried updating it would hose the install. Unlike you though, I wasn't able to even get into safe mode. I did eventually manage to get it however, after I don't know how many attempts. I started with an iPC install, not iDeneb, so what worked for me may not work for you. I ended up downloading the official combo update from Apple and followed the steps mentioned here to install it : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=126850 I let the update complete, and restarted. Of course the laptop refused to boot up, just kept restarting actually. I popped in the iPC install disc, started to go through the whole setup thing again from scratch, and then I thought of something that I hadn't tried before. I went through to the Customize screen, the step right before it begins the install. I unchecked the full System setup section, then just went in and checked the items in the Drivers section that I normally chose during a regular install. It began copying files to the hard drive, only taking a couple of minutes compared to the regular +30 minute install (since I hadn't selected anything other than the few drivers). I rebooted with the -f option when it was done, and after a few minutes, I found myself sitting at the Desktop! Like I said, this may not work for you, since I don't have an iDeneb install disc and don't know what options are available with it. Can't hurt to try, since you said you reinstalled anyway.

Marclh Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Got it to boot, needed AppleDecrypt.kext for it to complete the boot. Now I have a video error, looks like snow all over the screen, but I'll fix that later.

I woul like to say, entirely exactly what you did was the same thing I did with iAtkos 5i install, after upgrading to 10.5.7 USING the regular Update from *Software Update* from apple... afterwards I popped in my install osx86 chose the same Settings through Customize as for my 10.5.5 install (ofcourse UnChecked Full System Set Up) and it works perfectly fine after restart 10.5.7 =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/169920-1057-update-problem/#findComment-1177235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
