rompingShop Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 hey guys, i updated to 10.6.8, and am having a prob whereby i can't exactly figure the cause. No kernel panic, no warning of any sort - my os x just hangs. Most of the time during boot, but if i get to the desktop, ~2-5min into it. CPU usage: 100%, top process: config.d (although i doubt its this). Any ideas/similar experiences? I have a Dell Inspiron 1420, Duo 2 Core. Some things i have done is to remove all network/audio kexts i used (which are all 3rd party) leaving the system as bare as possible. - Same prob. Change boot params, cpus=1 and the like. - Same prob. Removed my DSDT and booted bare. - Same prob. I am suspecting a problem with my processor/cpu kext or the kernel is constantly hitting a wall until it freezes my pc. Please, anyone who has had such a prob, in OS X, regardless of the version? PS: when it hangs during boot, its way after the single user point. Sometimes during fsck, sometimes during waiting for DSMOS, and one time just when the window manager kicked it. What am trying to say is that it was at random points.

rompingShop Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Just a guess... Please check this topic (post #96 bottom section). Thanks for that, I replaced both AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext from the ones in 10.6.7 and the problem has stopped. (Although now the CPU is kind of slow in responding) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/260869-fixed-os-x-1068-simply-hangs-~5min-into-login/#findComment-1704209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
