blablamacandstuff Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm kinda new to this. So I'm guessing you can't just upgrade via Software Update... I'm running iatkos S3 v1 10.6.3. thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running iatkos S3 v1 10.6.3. thanks:) you're not going far without giving hardware and software details. if some lucky conditions arise (e.g. vanilla install, /E/E with all proper "patched"/"modded" kexts/ sun and moon in good relative positioning ) you can use SU quite easily. but we need HW/SW info to try and help you.

Diocia Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 With iatkos S3 I was able to use the Software Update to update to 10.6.4. Nothing special had to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablamacandstuff Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well, just to be sure, here are my specs: E6600 Geforce 250 GTS 4 gigs of ram Motherboard: Gigabyte 965P-DS3 And here's what I chose to install: Bootloader: Chameleon v2 RC4 Patches: Default Drivers: AHCI Sata Sound, Input.. CPU Power Management: Voodoo P-State NTFS-3G and the rest is marked here: oh, and if it matters, i'm dual-booting with win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't have sleepenabler.kext install you will be fine to update 10.6.4 according to Netkas.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blablamacandstuff Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Didn't install with Sleep Enabler, ran the update and everything works smoothly. Also had a problem with my keyboard not being recognized at startup (had to reconnect it every time), but now it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convert2apple Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I don't know much, but from what I have learned since starting my Hackintosh experience, using the vanilla kernel shouldn't break your machine. Make sure to back up any custom .Kexts installed into your S/L/E directory and to reinstall them after updating using the kextutility app. Wish I could be of more help, but I am still learning all this stuff myself...

blazingangel1986 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 awesome deleted the sleep kext now im good to go running 10.6.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka0s_v1 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 awesome deleted the sleep kext now im good to go running 10.6.4 Just done this myself - installed the new 10.6.4 sleepenabler kext; now i'm getting the weirdest problem where if my computer goes to sleep for an extended period of time (around 1-3 hours) i'm greeted with a crash upon wake up (i'll get around 2-3 minutes use). Fun. It doesnt seem to happen if the computer only sleeps for around 10-2- minutes. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
