Chamillion Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have tried every possible update known to man! I have tried direct download + install from the software updater, iDeneb 10.5.8 combo update, and everything in between. This time, before updating I updated my kernel version to 9.8 and ponder the idea of trying it again (the update process). more info: I have an AMD processor 64-bit. I'm using IPC osx86 10.5.6, Mac OS X 32-bit mode with the QOOPZ Voodoo based v2 kernel and Chameleon 2 RC5 bootloader - If that's any help . The problem is whenever I get to downloading + installation of any update, I get a kernel panic. This is before the update even finishes. If anybody can tell me what I'm doing wrong or know of any fixes, I would be forever grateful. I haven't got replies on my other topics, so I hope this topic is different. Please help me fellow Hackintoshers! Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236685-help-needed-for-1058-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio_multi Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thank you! That helped me sort out my problem. Post upgrade you must boot with: anv -v It's simple.

Chamillion Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 What does anv -v do and what is it for? Should I use after using the mac updater (Even after an interrupted kernel panic install)?

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 "anv" would be the name of a patched kernel, and since Giorgio suggested this, I guess "anv" must be the default kernel installed by iDeneb? -v is for verbose mode.

Yes. What does anv -v do and what is it for? Should I use after using the mac updater (Even after an interrupted kernel panic install)? You should update with iDeneb 10.5.8 ComboUpdate not with Software update that install only vanilla kernel (and creates other problems). You can not use vanilla kernel; in iDeneb update there are patched kernels: in my opinion anv kernel is the best for your hardware and solves the kernel panic (due to vanilla kernel on AMD CPU) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236685-help-needed-for-1058-update/#findComment-1580416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamillion Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 It booted up, but I can't open any installers (.pkg .mpkg) files anymore. I did reinstall seatbelt.kext 1058 , but It didn't fix the issue. The installers launch, but they just hang there until I manually reboot -They cause my system's restart/shutdown functions to break.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Then the kernel you're using is not a 9.8.0 based kernel. System.kext, Seatbelt.kext and kernel must be from the same 10.5.x version. It's easier to replace the kernel than to mess around with kernel extensions. If you're on 10.5.8 (and have the correct seatbelt and system.kexts installed) try the 9.8.0 Qoopz Voodoo Kernel. Again, refer to the sticky posts in the 10.5.x post installation sub forum for more information. *You can rename the kernel to "test" or whatever you like, then boot with test -v and see if it works better for you.

I know that I have the correct seatbelt installed -for 10.5.8. However, i am unsure if I have system.kext for 10.5.8 -Do you happen to have one I can download? Edit: I installed system.kext and seatbelt.kext from my working hackintosh 10.5.8 along with the known working Installer.app, but have had no luck.

If kernel and seatbelt.kext are of the same version, the problem should not exist. Double check.

Are you sure you're loading the right kernel? Check your com.apple.Boot.plist.

Chamillion Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Are you sure you're loading the right kernel? Check your com.apple.Boot.plist. in com.apple.Boot.plist, I changed the kernel to mach_kernel.voodoo2 and symlink'd mach_kernel.voodoo2 as mach_kernel.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 You don't have to do the symlink unless you're running OS X in a virtual machine (I think it's VMWare that requires the kernel to be named mach_kernel..not sure). Try without the symlink and make absolutely sure that kernel, system.kext and seatbelt.kext match.
