NOVA84IR Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey Folks... I recently got the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update. When the installation process was half over, I had the gray screen and had to restart, and then the OS goes BOOM! Never loaded even in safe mode. So, is there a way to recovering the OS or am I down to bricks?

vilpostus Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Never update not vanilla system with a vanilla update (e.g. from apple site). You will need to restore an old kernel e.g. voodoo or tohkernel or whatever it was before the update. Delete the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext in extensions folder. And restore the other custom kexts you have installed. Just restore extensions folder if you have it backed-up before the update.

NOVA84IR Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 So how do I upgrade to 10.5.8(or any other)? Is there a way to upgrade safely?

vilpostus Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Use modified updates such as iDenebComboUpdate10.5.8. This update is customizable too. So don't forget to select things needed and deselect unnecessary stuff. Or use this guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=127330&hl= to make a vanilla install, that is 100% updateable via apple update.
