Bill Brasky Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi All, I'm in the process of trying to update my iPC 10.5.6 to 10.5.8. I installed the latest Disabler.kext, dsmos.kext, Chameleon, and patched my DSDT. http://www.insanelymac.com/2009/08/update-...osh-osx86-1058/ However, upon rebooting, the system reboots immediately upon booting the kernel. I've booted with with -v -x to force loading all the kexts and it doesn't help. I saw a message that it did patch the DSDT ok. I also tried fakesmc instead of dsmos and that didn't help either. The system is a Dell Precision 380 (Pentium D 3.00GHz) with SSE2 and SSE3, so I *should* be ok running the vanilla kernel as far as I know. Anyone have any ideas to try? Anything I can check to see why it reboots? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194867-1058-update-troubleshooting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Update: installing the 9.8.0 kernel fixed my reboots. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=179562 However, I'm still interested in learning why I can't use the vanilla kernels... Anyone? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194867-1058-update-troubleshooting/#findComment-1314325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The CPU must support SSSE3 in order to run the vanilla kernel. SSE3 alone is not enough. So you can only use a patched kernels.

vilpostus Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 however you may still have a vanilla-like system. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=127330&hl= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194867-1058-update-troubleshooting/#findComment-1316115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
