software installation problem in snow

[fart pants]

Hello all,

 

I've done some research but i'm at a loss, i cannot completely install norton 11 i getting errors when i restart.

Here's part of the log:

 

Process: SymDaemon [242]

Path: /Library/Application Support/Symantec/Daemon/SymDaemon.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SymDaemon

Identifier: SymDaemon

i found one solution which didnt work for me which involved copying files from install dvd to allow ppc apps to work.

does anyone know whats all this about?

Ok here's an update:

 

I did a fresh install of 10.6.0 And error free except for a windowsserver error when i shut down (which shows in console). Still no joy, the auto protection engine has been corrupted and fails to start. Interestingly though the errors are less severe in 32bit mode. i get no corruption error but when i check console there is an error for sysdaemon.kext is unable to communicate with kernel. I noticed in verbose mode a kext from norton failed to "upload"

 

I am at work right now so this is from memory of what happened this morning so it may not be 100% accurate.

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

regards

Lol, here's another update.

 

I uninstalled norton and installed iantivirus, still no luck. Virus scanning in both products work but auto protect features dont. I wonder if the kexts in my E/E folder are blocking kexts from the antivirus software?

 

Has anyone successfully installed a fully functioning antivirus on SL?

If so which one?

 

Kind regards

solution found.

 

snow leopard had to be booted in 32bit mode then did a fresh install of norton 11. All is working .

 

It seems 64bit mode corrupts the install?? Strange though because on my missus new macbook pro it installs fine in 64bit.

 

i believe the issue resides in how hackintoshes boot and load kexts.
