rphoto Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Resolves: "an issue with Time Machine in which system backups could be restored onto unsupported Mac configurations." sounds like this update is aimed at fighting hackintosh users...

Cool McCool Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I took the plunge and am now running 10.6.3 with no problems at all on my Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 rev 1.0. These are the steps I took: (1) Downloaded the 10.6.3 Combo Update (2) Removed SleepEnabler.kext from my /Extras/Extensions folder (3) Applied the combo update (4) Rebooted (5) Installed the new 10.6.3 SleepEnabler.kext in my /Extras/Extensions folder Everything works. Sound. Sleep. Everything. FYI, these are the kexts currently in my /Extra/Extensions folder: LegacyHDA.kext PlatformUUID.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext SleepEnabler.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext fakesmc.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st3p Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Works everything but audio with P6T Deluxe V.2, Retail Snow. Anyway audio is fixable by restoring the HDA driver from 10.6.2 combo upd. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=208724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerr Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Failed with Core i7 configuration ! Radeon 4870 specifically Black screen and netkas's tip to substitute ATI4800Controller.kext, ATISupport.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext with 10.6.2 ones results in graphics corruption.

fotopolis Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Updated in my HP Pavilion dv6000 series and without problems. As said in this forum, Sleepenable must be replace to this new version works for me. But any other problem. Really one major update: now I detect the Airpot (intel wifi 3945). And the light is blue (active) nor orange (inactive) but I haven't get to making it working. But everything went right. No problem with the update. Thanks friends for this page!

Nixwiz Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Updated successful on GA 965P DS4 rev 3.3, had to remove applehda.kext from e/ and s/l/e and replace sleepenabler with the 10.6.3 version from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesureone Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Initial update caused video corruption with my ATI 4850 card (as predicted) but reinstalling netkas's ATI4800Controller.kext and then replacing the ATIFramebuffer.kext and ATIsupport.kext from 10.6.2 resolved it. I swear the display looks better but it's probably just my imagination. I also had to reinstall the 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext to get sound back on my GA-P55A-UD4P but everything else is good (except for orange hard drive icons, also as predicted).
