Jonty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 So, I got OSX x86 working this morning, and after installing some USB kext and something to do with AC97 sound I got it working quite swimmingly. One thing I did notice though, was that when I click the About button it crashed and restarted the GUI, but that was nothing to worry about. Then, as I was downloading Firefox and listening to something in iTunes, the whole PC locked up and now all I get at boot is (after a load of kext-related stuff flashes past): Ofcourse, I got this image by booting the volume in VMWare, and in native mode, there isn't all the interference around the writing, but the text is still the same. I didn't change any settings, why am I getting a Kernel Panic? Will I have to reinstall OSX? Thanks in advance.

eLMafUDd Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Is your processor an SSE2 only? Because if it is, you might not have applied the right patches upon installation.

Jonty Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 No, I have an AMD Sempon64 3400+ which is most definitely SSE2 and SSE3 capable, and I applied both patches at install time... What I don't get is, why did it work fine for a while, then stop working? I didn't change any settings, and, as I said, it locked up and then started doing this.

I believe it's one patch or the other (either SSE2 or SSE3 but not both). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jonty Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 But what I don't get is, everything worked fine for a while, until it locked up. And all I was doing then was listening to iTunes and downloading software updates. Oh well, I guess I'll try reinstalling with just the SSE3 patch...

Eiko Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hi Jonty, how's your result? I get the same problem as yours, and I wonder if it is because I installed SSE2 and SSE3 both ?

Jonty Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 OK, so it's broken again now, but I know what's causing it to panic The update to 10.4.7 So I know not to install that update, but is there a way to restore a working kernel (or whatever's broken) without doing a full reinstall? Because a full reinstall will take ages...again.
