KeFfBoY Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So, I finally managed to install and get Snow Leopard 10.6 work on my rig. Then I obviously wanted to upgrade to 10.6.2 and after the upgrade I get a kernel panic when booting. Is there any changes I need to do to any kexts or something to get 10.6.2 boot? (I used the built in "Software Update" was that stupid?) Please help me out with this. If anyone got a clue what can cause this, please tell me. The system is: Quadcore Q6600 Asus P5E motherboard Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 MB Ok, I have now understood that it's probably the old sleepEnabler.kext that cause this. I there any simple way to remove it and put in the new updated kext without having to reinstall the whole system? Update 2: Very strange. I figured that if I could get into the installer I could use terminal from there to remove the sleepEnabler.kext, but I can't even get the installer to boot anymore. (Even though the installer shouldn't load anything from the disk?.. or am I wrong?) So, status currently. Kernel Panic when trying to boot from disc. I have chameleon installed. Kernel Panic when trying to boot the installer from USB (which worked great to boot and install OSX 10.6 before I made the upgrade to 10.6.2 ) Why is the installer also not booting, how strange is that? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/201728-after-upgrading-to-1062-i-get-kernel-panic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeFfBoY Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 After a lot of work, and a full reinstall I managed to get it all rolling. I didn't install the sleepEnabler.kext at all when installing 10.6 and that made the upgrade go through without problems. It never helped my sleepmode to work anyway.

KeFfBoY Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Lot of people have trouble with sleep. I just disable it, my system is on, using screen saver with password or off When you say you disable it, how do you mean you do that? I would like to remove the option from the menu, so that I or others wont accidentally hit it.

fcojesusrm Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 For update read this post from netkas.org: http://netkas.org/?p=315 Remove SleepEnabler.kext if you use it, this is very important step, old sleepenabler + new kernel = panic.
