tompic823 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm currently running Snow Leopard 10.6 on my laptop (Insprion 1525). I am unable to upgrade to either 10.6.1 or 10.6.2. Each time I attempt to perform the upgrade, all goes well until the first restart. I select Snow Leopard from Chameleon (2 RC4) and it simply loads one line and hangs. In verbose it displays "Loaded HFS+ file: [system/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist] 479 bytes from 435ba80" and then all activity is halted and it freezes. No KP, no error, no nothing. After studying 10.6 and what is displays when booting in verbose, I believe it loads the kernel directly after this line. So it would seem it is unable to load the Kernel after an update. I can take a picture of the screen if necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated.

ridgeline Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 have you tried booting in safe mode I know on my old studio I would have to boot safe mode and also if you had a sleepenabler.kext installed that could be part of it as the updates do not work with it. try -x at the command line and see if you can at least get in. After that make sure you remove if it is installed the sleep enabler and reboot. normal.

Necrosan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It's Chameleon RC4 that's causing your problems. Copy the RC3 boot file to / from a USB stick during a installer boot and try booting. $100 bux says it works.

tompic823 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Ridgeline- I've tried just about every boot flag conceivable to man and still nothing. Necroscan- I'll boot to my Leopard partition and give it a shot now. Edit: But...I thought...and if...when the...It worked!?! I can't believe it in--in fact I'm in disbelief. This whole time it was Chameleon. I truly would have never guessed. I thank you greatly for the help. May I ask how you knew?
