Seems to be a problem other M1530 users have too. On boot it freezes on [PCI configuration begin] seems to be an issue with AppleACPIPlatform.kext. reverting to a previous version solves it but you may then have a another hang on "waiting for root device". This can be resolved by rebuilding the caches from a terminal window by using a usb boot drive for example. I havent tried this yet but have been finding out from other sources on Insanelymac. Think i might stick 10.7.3 until i know more about it....... :|

Hey all, I'm doing pretty good, on my way to lion/mountain lion soon, but I wanted to get up to 10.6.8 before I do that, and I've run into a snag. Everything was working great until I did thhe combo update, and then I started getting a kernel panic shortly after boot. I took a picture of it, only because there's so much there to read I'm having a little trouble deciphering what actually caused the kernel panic. it doesn't happen if I boot to safe mode, so that's a good sign. Here's a link to the picture. Once I figure this out, then I can move on to other updates. Also, I figure that some of the smaller things like bluetooth can be worked out after the kernel panic is taken care of.

Voodoohda is causing the kernel to panic. It's the sound driver.

thanks for the analysis. guess that means I need to find a different audio driver.

 

Scratch that; I just figured it out. When I did the update, it replaced AppleHDA.kext, which I had to remove again. Everything is fine now. :-) Now if I can just get the bluetooth and wireless working, I'll be set.
