Ok, I've deleted the AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext from the S/L/E folder and it's now working.

 

It does seem to be a common problem, I don't know if someone is making an faq list or something, but if someone is, it should be added.

 

EDIT: No, it didn't work. I rebooted and now I have the same error, even thought the kext is no longer there

I've reinstalled OSX 10.6.0 a few days ago and tried to upgrade to 10.6.4

 

After rebooting, the system doesn't start. Here's a pic

What does it mean and how can be fixed?

 

"juanml82" Try bootiing with -f switch.It should bypass the kext cache. Also consider including the NullCPUManagement.kext. It Should negate the need for deleting AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext.

 

For me after I update my system gets stuck on the gry logo with the loading circle =/ Is there any fix for that. For your problem it might be the same as mine because I get stuck at the same txt when I try to boot in safe mode.

boot in verbose mode to view the error and post it here. Press -v at boot.

boot with -v to view the offending kext.then try booting in safe mode, use -x and see if it boots up.

Pardon my asking, but, on a Dell Mini 10v with the Atom processor, did you get the latest 10.4.0 hacked kernel from this forum and install it after updating to 10.6.4?

You need kernel 10.4.0. You will have to somehow get access to the drive so you can rename the existing mach_kernel and copy the new kernel and rename it mach_kernel.
