HackBook Pro Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I installed the latest OS X system updates on my system. After rebooting, many programs won't open. System Preferences, Safari, Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, and Adium to name a few. Here is my Software Update.log if that helps.

I am not really familiar with boot-132. I know what it is and what it does, but not tried it out yet (cause i have AMD) I would say save your important data and try some distro's...

HackBook Pro Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks, but no thanks. I used boot-132, so I could install from the retail DVD, so I wouldn't have to use a OSx86 distro ever again. Everything was working great until some update messed things up. I don't why things aren't working, I am just assuming the update broke something. Anyone else having similar problems, or know a solution?

vilpostus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Try updating kernel and kexts inside EFI partition/Extra folder (depending on Boot132 install location).

HackBook Pro Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Try updating kernel and kexts inside EFI partition/Extra folder (depending on Boot132 install location). Updating kernel and kexts to what? I don't have an EFI partition. I use chameleon, and I have whatever kexts were in the /Extra folder when I installed it (I didn't remove or add any).

vilpostus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Then update (if a newer versions are available) the kexts inside /Extra. Also try using different kernels (install some if necessary).

ntsmkfob Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Have you done a Repair Permissions since the update? Check in the system.log (/var/logs) to see what error msgs occur when these apps fail to start. If you scroll down the left side you will find the crashreporter logs which may well tell you which module/process is causing the problems.

HackBook Pro Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm using a vanilla kernel, I'd rather not change that. I'll try looking through the logs and see what I can find...
