iliveinabucket Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 So yesterday I installed FakeSMC (download link here) and it now it causes kernel panic on boot. By looking at the text stuff outputted by the screen in verbose mode, I determined that FakeSMC is causing the problem. It says something about how FakeSMC is a duplicate and it fails to start. (Pictures attached at the end of post) With my resourcefulness, I installed Paragon's HFS+ for Windows 7 so I can access my Mac drive and edit system files or back up all my existing files for the remainder of the 10-day-trial period. I tried backing up and deleting the FakeSMC.kext in S/L/E and in /Extras but the problem is still exactly the same. Do you guys know how to solve this problem? Am I even approaching the problem in the right way? THANKS A BUNCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iliveinabucket Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Alright thanks to your FakeSMC file I managed to fix the kernel panic. By placing your FakeSMC in both extra extensions AND S/L/E I got it to boot. However, my touchpad does not work anymore!!! voodooPS2 crash maybe? My keyboard and external USB mouse work fine but I still need a working touchpad. I stared at the screen during verbose boot but only FakeSMC failed to load, found lines and lines of NVenabler lines like probe failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iliveinabucket Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Alright I tried placing itt in Extras/Extensions but it doesnt seem to work.... I remember seeing "Synaptics" in Verbose boot but after this kernel panic I dont see it anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iliveinabucket Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I tried all that I can, swapping out some kexts but I can't figure out why my Mac won't boot! It now gets past the black verbose mode but hangs at the blue screen. Login window will not show up. Actually, I did get it to show up once by booting in safe mode. However, my mouse and touchpad and keybaord would not work so I couldn't log in anyways. EDIT: Since booting into safemode works, I'm guessing there are some big problems with my extensions?
