chinoy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Guys updated some files and after that I get a Kernel Panic when ever I try to boot. All I want to do is boot into osx then remove the Kext which is causing the problem but I cant. Have tried -x -v -f -cpus=1 nothing seems to work. Why would the safe mode not work ? How can I force it to work ? Would hate to re-install the OS for the 100th time. Esp. as I had everything finally working after a months work of struggling with this.

chinoy Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 another case of having to find my own solution to the problem. If any of you guys get stuck with the same problem. Solution= Install Mac Drive. Access your mac partition and time machine backups. Restore from backup or delete the offending kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218647-stuck-after-ktext-update/#findComment-1470622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You can boot from your install DVD, run Terminal, mount the drive and remove the files from there.

Eduardo582 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am newbie in this forum, and I can not open a new topic yet, so If not a problem I would like to explain my problem here because is very similar to your problem. I have a Acer Aspire One with triple boot: Ubuntu, XP and Mac OSx 10.5.4, problem started when I try to install an update to 10.5.5, I did double click and the computer ask for restart, now I only get a panic screen with an error said "Unsupported CPU...........", as chinoy said I dont want to reinstall everything (all 3 OS), I only want to recover my last know working state of MAC OSx, I realize that I have access via Ubuntu to the Mac partition, and if I dont understand wrong you say that I can access the partition and maybe erase the package that is causing the panic, or maybe restore any backup made by the time machine? I get a Darwin/x86 boot menu, but I dont know what can I do from here. I have some acknowledge of Unix and XP but very limited in MAC OS. So any help will be very appreciate.
