unrealism Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So I heard that 10.6.2 was out and that the "Lifehacker" setup updated fine, so I took a chance, and of course it killed my install. It gives me a great big Kernel panic at bootup! Is there a way to rollback? A Safe Mode? What can I do? Or is it hosed completely? I am somewhat a newb to hackintoshs, I own a macbook pro and computer savy, just new to the scene. Please help! Everything worked fine before 10.6.2.

XLR Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Verbose Mode should tell you the problem. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196881-1062-killed-my-ga-g31m-es2l-hackintosh/#findComment-1325982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unrealism Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Verbose Mode should tell you the problem. ok, I found it was the sleep enabler, I forgot to remove it as posted. I got the updated file. Is there a way to repair this without reloading everything? Maybe boot into setup run some terminal commands or something? I couldnt figure it out. I am somewhat new to "Mac Repair" troubleshooting. Thanks for the reply!

sansabar Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 What I did with my setup (same motherboard) (btw, were do you get DDR5 RAM??? ) I just reinstalled 10.6 and updated to 6.1 took about 20 minutes. I didn't erase the drive because I had migrated about 50 gigs worth of stuff. No problems so far with 10.6.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196881-1062-killed-my-ga-g31m-es2l-hackintosh/#findComment-1326073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I am in the process of reloading my audio drivers, hopefully that will come back on.

I didn't erase the drive because I had migrated about 50 gigs worth of stuff. No problems so far with 10.6.1 I am pretty sure I slapped some DDR5 in there. Maybe it was DDR4. I don't remember. haha I reinstalled my Kext's for my audio and everything seems back to normal. Thanks everyone for saving my system!! =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196881-1062-killed-my-ga-g31m-es2l-hackintosh/#findComment-1326228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobhansen Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I also blindly and blithely went and updated my 10.6.1 Gigabyte hack and got a panic when I restarted. After a few hours scouring the web I read that the sleep kext is not compatible with the new update. I went into my extra folder deleted it and rebooted "-f -v arch=i386" and I'm kosher again! Just goes to show you that you should never be in tooooo much of a hurry to update.

sansabar Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am pretty sure I slapped some DDR5 in there. Maybe it was DDR4. I don't remember. haha Seeing as this board only supports DDR2, and DDR3 is currently the highest available (DDR4 is set for 2011), I'd bet money it's DDR2.

Suzuka Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have the same board, I had the same issue, but the easiest way for me to fix it was to boot in safe mode (-x) and replace it.

Mot_Starmax Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm having the same problem but I already removed the SleepEnabler, but am still getting a KP from it??? Is it cached somehow? Any suggestions? thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196881-1062-killed-my-ga-g31m-es2l-hackintosh/#findComment-1382044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatwagon Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 i just reinstalled over the old os without erasing it. That way everything was still there, all my docs, apps, music etc. Thats the easiest way.
