My Mac no longer boots!

Right,

 

ASUS P6T, with i7 920. All installed well and I got it working. I was quite happy but was installing a few other kexts in the aim of trying to improve NTFS drive speed (seems pretty slow to me). I'd just set a Kext installing (I don't remember which) when it greyed over and said I needed to restart by pressing the power button.

 

I did this and now it tells me each time that it needs to be restarted.

 

The error behind is a kernel mismatch between the kernel and the CPU. I tried setting pmVersion=0 but that doesn't help.

 

I used iAktos 3version 2 (i.e. Snow Leopard 10.6.3). I've managed to install MacDrive so I can repair it from Windows (hopefully), by deleting different kexts maybe?

 

ATM I have:

AHCIPortInjector.kext

Disabler.kext

fakesmc.kext

JMicron36xSATA.kext

JMicronATA2.kext

LegacyAppleRTC.kext

LegacyIOAHCIBlockStorage.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

I thought of trying to fix it by using the utilities on the CD of iAktos, but I can't seem to get it to work, I'm not sure what has changed since I installed, but it gets stuck at "Can't find root device", even though the disk is working and the bios settings are for AHCI as it wants etc.

 

I've tried singleuser mode, safemode, disabling cores.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to tell us what you specs are so we can help you better.

For future purposes, I would suggest getting Carbon Copy Cloner, so you can back up your system before bonkin' it.

Funnily enough I was thinking as doing it that I'd better back it up before I break it. Was going to do it just after I fixed it.

 

What more do you need?

Full rig Specs:

ASUS P6T (non-Deluxe or SE)

i7 920 at stock

6Gb (3x2Gb 1600MHz)

Nvidia EVGA GTX285

3HDDs, 2 200Gbs of NTFS, 1 750 Gb with a 30Gb partition for OS X and the rest NTFS.

 

Installed with iAktos 3 v2. All went well and was working just fine, apart from slow NTFS access speed as far as I thought.

I don't think you need Disabler.kext and NullCPU.kext. Just use one or the other.

 

I deleted NullCPU.kext, but the same thing occured. There's only a small bit of it all that I can see, and some of it's obscured by the big message telling me to restart, but of what I can see it says:

Panic(CPU 0 caller 0x2a96f6): "Version mis-match between kernel and CPUPM"@/sourcecache/xnu/xnu-1504.3.12/osfmk/i386/pmCPU.c:70

Debugger called: <panic>

Backtrace(CPU0), frame: return address (4 potential args on stack)

 

Lot of hex stuff here

 

Kernel extensions in backtraced <OBSCURED BY MESSAGE>

Sk.triaxis.kext.sleepenabler <OBSCURED AGAIN>

 

I've run a search for the sleepenabler, but it can't be found, and isn't in the extensions folder. Is there somewhere else it might be hiding?

Is it in your System/Library/Extensions folder?

 

Right, there was sleepenabler.kext there so deleteing it, got me further, but now I have a "no root device" error.

 

This is still plugged into the first SATA port as it has been. I have lots of different kexts that sound right (with AHCI in the name and JMicron). Which would be needed for this board?

 

Should it go in the Extra/Extensions folder /System/Library/Extensions?

 

Thanks for the help so far :(

It doesn't boot because its not a mac...

Its a hackintosh!

 

:)

 

No, I've no idea.

Sry.

 

If it booted before then why don't you time machine back to that, if no time machine then reinstall.

That is my best advice.
