Kernel panic during 10.6.6 combo update

[sh0td0wn]

I'm posting here because I've almost forgotten a lot about the OSx86 scene since two years ago when I gave up trying to get sleep and hibernate to work on my old desktop (10.5.2).

 

Okay, so I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail on my Gateway laptop dualbooted with Windows 7 (GPT).

Worked alright. WiFi worked, sound worked, webcam worked out of the box

So I wanted to get my graphics card working so I tried following checco's guide to get my ATi 5650m working.

Said I had to combo update to 10.6.6.

So I did that, first without bootflags (using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy) and later in safe mode (-x flag). Got a kernel panic near the end of the update when I booted with both methods. Bunch of black highlighted lines with white text showed up on top of the GUI. It was repeated lines kernel panic and I saw some kext at the top called IOPlatformFamily.

 

Why would that kext cause a kernel panic during the combo update? That's what I'm trying to figure out.

 

Do I need to use some kind of boot flag on [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy disk or should I install Chameleon first from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/manually on an EFI partition and use a boot flag from there?

Try manualy removing that kext in the part where it says "Moving Files" and BEFORE it can get to Registering Files or whatever. Remove it in terminal with a "sudo rm -R (kext name goes here)" command and see what happens.
