LogicalUser Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Anyone attempting to help will need more info. What are the contents of your Extra/Extensions/ folder? Do you have any changes to S/L/E? what method did you use to install? What video card are you using? how is it set up? I'd suggest searching around, there are a variety of reasons for a kernel panic/failure booting since 10.6.2; outdated sleep kext, outdated CPU power management kext, issues with nvidia 7000 series cards, issues with 8800GT EFI string, something ATI related I merely skimmed over, etc.... netkas.org has the updated kexts I mentioned & some more info Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197301-accidentally-updated-my-1061-hackintosh-now-it-wont-load/#findComment-1329474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tista Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 try deleting /Extra/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kext if the kext is present.

tanbk168 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I did not read the Netkas instruction when I updated my SL. Luckily, I had Leopard on another HDD which I can boot into and deleted the sleepenabler kext in the chameleon folder. I copied the new sleepenabler from Netkas website and it works. My suggestion is to have another OSX in the system just in case the update is not ok. Also, check for the results of the update from other people before updating... backup the important stuff... keep your fingers crossed....
