penquissciguy Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am having serious issues installing the 10.6.2 update on my GA-P35-DS3L. I used Empire EFI to install from the retail SL DVD and installed MyHack installer 1.0 RC 4.1 to get a booting install. I had sound working with a patched DSDT and graphics (NVIDIA 9400GT) working using the graphicsenabler option in com.apple.boot.plist. I'm using the PC-EFI 10.4.1 boot file as well because the CPU autodetection works for me in that one but not PC-EFI 10.5. I have a Conroe-L Celeron 420 (single core Conroe) that is identified by SL as a Core 2 Solo as expected. Everything works smooth up until I attempt the 10.6.2 SL update. I have tried both removing the SleepEnabler kext and installing the 10.6.2 patched one, but no matter what I do my computer reboots constantly just as the myhack splash screen loads. I've tried installing the update through the system updates in SL and by downloading and installing the combo updater with no difference in the result. Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? I've messed up my install several times trying to fix this issue without luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

penquissciguy Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 There was a vague posting on the forums here that Conroe-L Celerons are not supported on the 10.6.2 vanilla install. Can someone else confirm this?

Can someone else confirm this? Ken Well, I've confirmed this issue, at least on my hardware. Replaced my Celeron 420 with an E2200 and my 10.6.2 install booted right up. I guess Conroe-L celerons and 10.6.2 don't mix.
