Hello folks,

 

My hackintosh:

MB: P5B, dual core @3Ghz E6850, 4Gb Ram, nVidia GeForce 8600GT

I have successfully installed 10.6. on my hackintosh using Psystar bootloader and original SL disk.

Everything went fine, all things worked fine and installed tons of apps.

 

I used it for about 4 months without problems and yesterday after upgrading to 10.6.4. I got the following screen over and over (see attached). Please help me out, I have no clue what to do or how to fix it. Thanks for reading this message.

Can you boot into safe mode? Whenever I get that screen I am able to restart and at least boot into safe mode with the "-x" startup flag. I also always use verbose mode (-v) when booting in safe mode.

 

If you can get into safe mode, then you can go about troubleshooting.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I can not boot in verbose or safe mode, or at least, I have no idea how to do it. I never messed around with boot/kernel files so I am not sure what I am doing... :thumbsup_anim:

 

I have read some posts that with 10.6.2 update, MAC cut out some drivers so that Atom processors could be used. So further, I am guessing only that with 10.6.4 MAC cut out perhaps all CPU's support other that the ones they are using. If that is the case, what is the fix?

delete the sleepenabler

 

BOOT FROM DVD INSTALL(TERMINAL)

 

DELETE KEXT

 

cd /Volumes/YOUR-VOLUME-NAME/System/Library/Extensions

rm -rf sleepenabler.kext

 

MOVE KEXT

 

mv /Volumes/PARTITION NAME/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext /Volumes/PARTITION NAME/FOLDER

 

pmVersion=0 (Disable SleepEnabler)

pmVersion=17 (10.6.0/1)
