yakeums Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 So, I successfully booted into my Leopard Hackintosh machine last night after many headaches on the install. I ran the apple software updater, which finished and prompted me to reboot so I did and now the machine will not boot again! It just starts to boot up then the monitor says "no signal" then it auto-reboots, what could cause this!? I was originally booting with the "-v -x" flags and have done the same after the software update and it still won't boot. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I tried -f and that did it for me, I've done a ton of reading and it seems you find little nuggets of wisdoms in the least expected posts, I also did the installs of updates, now when I click on "about this mac" it just goes to a blue screen and then the desktop comesback . all I need to discover now is how to REMOVE all the kext's or drivers related to sound as it does not work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207802-software-update/#findComment-1388132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtoledo Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've tried the "-f" flag as well and it still doesn't work in that case just re-istall and use it without updates. in reality it's still the most secure system around that any of us can have by just installing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207802-software-update/#findComment-1388172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsma Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yea, I was thinking the same thing hey dude u don't really need to install i had the same problem i installed mac osx several times and every time i tried to install update it juss hung at a black screen. then i tried something else what i did was i inserted the cd i used to install mac with,then i boot from the cd drive like i was doing a fresh install,then when when it loaded i skipped disk utility and went strait to install onto the disk that already had leopard 10.5 on it,then what i did instead of installing the whole thing again all i did was unselected the main base system and re installed all the drives ,kernel,simbios, bootloader and all the other {censored} it only takes about 2 min...then restart when installation is complete and woop teeeee dooo what do u know it worked with all new updates.....right now i am running leopard 10.5.8 and that update came from apple updates. There is no guaranty on this ...but if u want u can try it ....it worked for me...hope it works for you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207802-software-update/#findComment-1388342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakeums Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 VERY NICE! Works like a charm! The only problem now is that I get an Kernel panic everytime I download something offline, mozilla, adium, etc... I downloaded adium on another computer and thumbdrived it over and it installed fine though.

Beerkex'd Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 System.kext version must match kernel version. Refer to the 2nd sticky in this forum. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207802-software-update/#findComment-1389161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Jeremy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Also if those are diskimages, you probably have to update seatbelt.kext. There's a sticky at the top of this board.
