professor falken Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Alright, I'm running 10.6 on a g31m-es2l, with a 9600gt and an e5200. Beyond that, I've no bloody idea anymore. I installed using the "snowleo" distro on a certain bay of pirates. What's the safest way of updating without breaking the install? I need to get xcode up and running and I've not got any drives big enough to back stuff up on.

imiraj Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Distros suck, seriously. Vanilla ftw. New install with time machine + mobileme: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.6.4#Gigabyte According to that (if your mobo is v2.0), do a vanilla install. Best & Easiest way for a vanilla install IMO is [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Youll need the 10.6.0 disc from apple for $30 (or the disk from another source). According to it... everything should work. Note: you /will/ have to do some digging of your own. i think youll need: LegacyHDA_ALC883, AppleHDA 10.6.2, NVEnabler, apparently "AtherosL1cEthernet.kext", fakesmc, EvOreboot, LegacyAppleRTC, NullCPUPowerManagement, Chamelon 2.0 RC4, com.apple.boot.plist: 32-bit Apple Boot Screen, smbios.plist: iMac11,1 (Core i7). ^ That is a non-DSDT method (some of the kexts i chose are guesses), non "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]". Use the link, and find that "AtherosL1cEthernet.kext". If you really don't want to lose the install... uhh sorry I can't help you. Edit: =.= are you serious. If you looked at the comments to the torrent you downloaded, the ULer stated to use comboupdates.

Imagine me doing a confused shrug right now. I have absolutely no idea what that you mean by comboupdates, other than what apple software update has in it right now. Which I assume will break my machine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226241-help-an-idiot-update-to-1064/#findComment-1517413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

professor falken Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Combo Update So I'm guessing the recent regdate is because you've been banned for being a dick?

professor falken Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 So does anyone want to help? Because googling "10.6.4 combo update" is useless, and tells me what I already said I know.
