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!

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. :D

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.
