Post Install Patch Fix for 10.4.x Reboot Stall

[Pepet]

killed my system too (JAS 10.4.8, Dell E1705 Core Duo). I had to reboot, type in the backup kernel at the boot prompt (mach_kernel.102). Once booted, run the following commands from the root directory:

 

sudo -s

rm mach_kernel

cp mach_kernel.102 mach_kernel

chown root:wheel mach_kernel

chmod 644 mach_kernel

 

then reboot...

 

for whatever reason my broadcom 40 quit working with this too. I had to reinstall it again based on thread #41663. don't know if that was related or not.

Hi there, here another system-killed!

I can boot typing "mack_kernel.102" at the boot prompt.

Once booted, and logged as a root user, when I type "rm mach_kernel", terminal answers me "No such file or directory".

I guess I'm missing something very simple, but you must forgive me: I'm a novice Mac user..

Thanks in advance for your help!
