richardmacx Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I have OSX 10.6.4 iatkos Version 2 installed I tried to install FakeSMC to monitor my 8800GS temperature from this tutorial: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1206 I installed with Kext helper the following files iStat_pro.wdgt_wBattery.zip SMC_util2.zip smcK_Stat_i.app.zip FakeSMC_rev405_Snow.zip after installed FakeSMC my OSX got kernel panic and frozen with the message "You must restart..." at the Apple Logo Loading. I've tried to use Single user mode boot (-s), but was unable to remove FakeSMC.kext. So I tried safemode (-x). I was able to get in and deleted FakeSMC.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/. When try to boot normally I got hung at loading without any message. on Verbose mode I found it is hanging at: "ACPI_SMC-PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - failed to locate SMC driver" Once again when I try to go to safemode (-x), it hung at blue screen before login logo. How do I completely remove FakeSMC and its plugin and back to the way it was before? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalel83 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I don't get what you mean. I am trying to remove FakeSMC and its related extensions from my system. are you using dsmos? or.. how is the encrypted files being decrypted on the fly facesmc is not primarily for monitoring temp, it's for filesystem decryption, same as the old dsmos kext Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmacx Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 no worry. I just reinstalled the sucker back to 10.6.3 with iatkos s3 v2 and everything is working again. I've read somewhere that I must remove FakeSMC.kext and IOPlatformFamily...kext, then reinstall IOPlatformFamily...kext. However, I couldn't find a link to download IOPlatformFamily and I've wasted 2 days to figure it out. It took me about an hour to reinstall from fresh with all kexts working. I am looking into backup for osx from now on. I've heard apple time machine is not that great comparing to windows backup but that is another issue. Anyhow, thanks for your feedbacks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
