Vibrational Mode Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've been running 10.6.1 for a while now without a single problem. I'm running a P5K (vanilla) with an e6750 CPU and a GeForce 8800GTS video card, installed via Retail Snow Leopard (vanilla kernal). This morning I bumped over to 10.6.2 through the software updater and I'm having KPs before I can barely get out of the Chameleon loader. I've tried deleting SleepEnabler, I've tried updating NullCPUPM.kext, I've tried using the updated SleepEnabler. I keep having KPs. From what I can read of the KP, it seems to be related to com.apple.dsmos. I'm using the newest fakesmc kext from netkas. I don't think I ever installed the com.apple.dsmos myself, it was there from the vanilla install. Should I delete the com.apple.dsmos? netkas wrote on his blog "dont use dsmos.kext anymore, use fakesmc.kext" What am I doing wrong here? Strangely, I can boot from the SL USB key I made to install the OS in the first place, and that works out fine, but when I try to boot from the HD, it just KPs before anything else. Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196898-1062-now-kps-on-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rillipiru Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Make a new USB stick to boot from. Set your mobo to boot first from the stick and you are all set to go. Make few of them, so you´ll have a backup stick. I have never used a HD boot partition (in SL).

Vibrational Mode Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Make a new USB stick to boot from. Set your mobo to boot first from the stick and you are all set to go. Make few of them, so you´ll have a backup stick. I have never used a HD boot partition (in SL). I bit the bullet and just deleted the dsmos file, and I can boot in normally from the HD again. I'm getting FakeSMC errors in the verbose boot, and I'm afraid things are hanging by a string. I'm more than inclined to follow your advice in case something like this happens again. Is there a good guide for setting up bootable USB sticks? I cobbled the last one together on the fly, so I don't think I did it very well.

Shambler Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm glad that solution worked for you, however I recommend just renaming the file, as opposed to deleting it, because once it's gone, it's never coming back! If it didn't work, you can always boot into the DVD (or your other install in this case) and rename the file and you'll be back where you started Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196898-1062-now-kps-on-boot/#findComment-1326648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
