chpe Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hello! After 10.6.8 update I get the following message when shutting down: CPU halted: It's now safe to turn off your computer And computer freezes, I have to long press the power button to switch it off. Reboot leads to a similar message and freeze as well. Using the 10.8.0 legacy kernel from nawcom. Acer Aspire 5536g Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

chpe Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hazard's 10.6.6i updated to 10.6.8. It has openhaltrestart.kext, which worked fine before update. I've also tried evoreboot and osxrestart but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltac0 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 What are the messages before the CPU halted message? I had a same kinda problem today, Nawcom's 10.8.0 Legacy kernel. The fsck_hsf didn't work correctly with my 8GB of ram. The solution was to boot to single-user-mode with -s boot flag and run the following commands: /sbin/mount -uw / mv /sbin/fsck_hfs{,.orig} printf '#!/bin/bash\nexec /sbin/fsck_hfs.orig -c512m "$@"' > /sbin/fsck_hfs chmod +x /sbin/fsck_hfs After that the computer boot normally, 32bit apps didn't crash or anything.
