Tmorr83 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have an almost perfect install of 10.5.4 however when I use ideneb's combo update to go to 10.5.8 it will install successfully but will not restart. When I restart the machine it will load the white screen with Apple logo and stop. No spinning wheel, no drive activity. It just freezes. I am going to check the error with -v tonight, but I'm setting here at work wondering the answer. I have tried booting with -x andit still does the same thing. If anyone else has had this problem please let me know what you did to fix it.

Tmorr83 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ok my error is a still waiting on boot volume with uuid... error. I believe I need to replace some kexts but I'm not sure which ones. I read somewhere else that it may be an Ata kext issue. I think it also could be caused by my IDE to SATA hard drive adapter. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Until then I'm going back to 10.5.4. I found this also may be caused either by USB legacy in bios or by a video card error. I will try changing my bios settings tonight and let you guys know how it works. I'm also on the look out for a cheap used IDE drive to replace my adapted SATA.

Tmorr83 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I changed my Bios settings to disable legacy USB. this allowed me to get one command beyond my previous error. However, I am still stuck at the Apple logo. I have tried every boot flag I know, and a few that I don't even know what they do. I am stuck at the line listed below. Extension "com.apple.driver.itunesPhone" has no explicit kernel dependency; using version 6.0 After that line every few minutes it will say "still waiting on root device". If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I want 10.5.8 so my iPhone 4 can connect, otherwise I would just stick with 10.5.4 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/250916-jas-1054-to-ideneb-combo-1058-issues/#findComment-1653680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmorr83 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 ok so i still haven't been able to access my drive after upgrading to 10.5.8. However, since I only need 10.5.8 for my iPhone 4 and all my other programs work fine on 10.5.4 I managed to find an alternative. I was able to trick 10.5.4 into recognizing my iPhone 4 by editing the systemversion.plist file. By changing the plist to be 10.5.8 the system and iPhone think it is updated even though the underlying system is still 10.5.4. You can access the systemversion.plist by going to System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist. At the very bottom of the file there are two lines that contain your OS version. You simply pull the plist to your desktop, edit the plist with your choice of OS and the save and replace in the original directory. After the edit your iPhone 4 should be recognized. I have not tried many other Programs but so far nothin else seems to be affected by the change.
