Updating 10.6.6 From Retail Copy - Shut Down Required

[shivthrice]

So I download the 10.6.6 and update it but it never finishes, it gets to a part where i have to force shut down and then i cant boot up. I'm using this and guide and stuck at step 3 because it wont fully install the update.

 

 

installation for GX640 (i5 450M / ati 5850 mobility)

 

1- install mac os 10,6,3 with atkos s3 v2 (or retail version with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url])

2- install update 10,6,6 no reboot

3- remplace kext 10,6,6 by 10,7 in S/L/E

4- install chameleon hd5000

5- [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3,3 , install voodoohda (last version),Lnx2Mac's Installer and system utilities (delete appleHDA in S/L/E)

6- edit com.apple.Boot.plist in root/extra :

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>maxmem=4096</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x800x32</string> (your screen resolution)

Be sure you are using the COMBO 10.6.6 update. The smaller Delta update won't work.

I am, I've been searching and people mention deleting /extra/extensions/SleepEnabler.kext does that meas up updating?

If you installed and booted 10.6.3, then you do not have a SleepEnabler problem. Since you force-quit out of the 10.6.6 installer, there is no telling what is corrupt or partially installed. Your only recourse is to start over with 10.6.3 and try 10.6.6 again. You could also get your hands on Hazard 10.6.6i and install it instead of 10.6.3, and then you don't need to go through the 10.6.6 Combo update.

what disk did you use for installing prior to running the 10.6.6 update?

 

You said you were following the instructions:

 

1- install mac os 10,6,3 with atkos s3 v2 (or retail version with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url])

retail, i didnt follow that because i had a retail copy, should i get atkos? (you can use retail with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url])

Not necessarily. Whether you use retail or iAtkos, you still have to follow up with the 10.6.6 updater which so far has proven to be a problem. If you get Hazard 10.6.6i then you are past the 10.6.6 problem.

 

My suggestion:

1. Try again with retail.

2. Go to the Apple menu and select About this Mac and see what version you just installed.

3. If you can perform an SHA1 checksum, you can check the integrity (corruption) of the 10.6.6 updater because the Apple page has an SHA1 checksum on it.

4. (Try to) install 10.6.6 update

5. If that fails, go get Hazard 10.6.6i and try to install that.

That's a kernel panic. It must be changing out a driver or file that it needs to operate to keep running.

 

I guess I would now suggest iAtkos or Hazard.

I should download a iatkos dvd of it? or should is that an updated modified version of 10.6.6?

As the instructions indicated (mac os 10,6,3 with atkos s3 v2), it is a modified version of 10.6.3 which then still needs to be updated to 10.6.6 using the exact same combo updater that is crashing.

 

Hazard 10.6.6i is, as the name implies, a modified version of 10.6.6. In actuality, they are retail DVD's modified with extras that many Hackintoshes need - modified drivers, etc. If you choose none of the extras, then you have essentially a standard installation.

 

Did you ever verify what version of retail you have? By checking About this Mac?

I'll try that, thank you so much for all the help.
