Xiatar Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Greetings gentlemen I have had Snow Leo running for the last half year, first 10.6.0 and then 10.6.1 using regular update. But whenever I try to update to 10.6.2 or 10.6.4 (haven't tried 10.6.3), it hangs when almost done booting. Hardware: Gigabyte EP31-DS3L Pentium Dual Core E5300 Gigabyte 9800 GT Silent Cell I tried yesterday to install again following http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=180954 Again it hangs after installing the 10.6.4 update and rebooting. Using the -v option with the Chameleon update, everything looks fine. Then the screen goes black and nothing more happens. I could really use some help, for once google isn't my friend...

Xiatar Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just tried the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] tool. Same result. Hangs when I try to boot into 10.6.4. What changed so much from 10.6.0 and 10.6.1 so that my machine refuses to boot when I update to 10.6.2 or above???

Xiatar Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 At this point I'm seriously considering buying another motherboard. One that is known to work with 10.6.4 such at GA-EP45-UD3L. But it would suck to find out that this isn't the problem...

neil43 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported CDROM to boot into your 10.6.4. with only -v boot argument. What do you get? neil Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226802-1060-and-1061-works-fine-1062-and-1064-hang-with-gigabyte-ep31-ds3l/#findComment-1521669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiatar Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi neil43, thanks for the reply. And sorry I've been so slow in answering. I'm up on 10.6.4 now and everything is running just fine. I had used the old lifehacker usb boot stick for booting up, installing and booting into 10.6.0. And then I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after upgrading to 10.6.4. After that I couldn't boot into 10.6.4. It must have been some kind of problem with the old lifehacker-setup. This time around I followed the [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] manual very closely. And I finally, finally could boot into 10.6.4! Hooray!!!
