onik Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hi, I'm having problems getting the 10.5.7 upgrade to work. The machine stops in the Apple logo with the circle spinning but causes no kernel panic or visible error messages (except "can't load AppleIntelCPU kext"). I can boot to single-user mode with -s but what should I do? I tried copying the old kexts over the new ones but no change. scrshot is pretty bad, sorry.

onik Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well, I kinda have a backup, but mainly of the files I need. But let's not worry about that. I had 10.5.5 before the update, always has worked with vanilla kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali As my sig says I installed Kalyway 10.5.2 release, then updated it with kaly's patches to 10.5.5 I didn't try the apple updater because it didn't work for some people, so I thought it would be safer to use the iDeneb upgrade pack... but I was wrong apparently.
