matemago Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 i dont want to open another thread about "how to update my os x" but i've been looking all around the forum and i just got lost. i had my osx running in 10.4.6 ok? but got ambitious and tried to update to 10.4.8. this is what i did: applied JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.Combo.Update. that's all. now, About this Mac shows 10.4.8 but System Profiler shows this: Versión del sistema: Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L2127) Versión del kernel: Darwin 8.4.1 so i guess i still dont have 8.8.1, right? my os is working, but i have the feeling i'm missing something, so my questions are this: 1. do i still have to apply Apple's 10.4.8 update? 2. do i still have to apply 10.4.7 Semjaza's Decrypts? or is there a newer one? 3. does anyone else has kernel panics and reboots while using Mpeg Streamclip? ---- optional question =D thanks for your help guys... btw, i have Asus P5LD2-VM SE, Intel D820, 1Gb DDR2 533 and s-ata II 250Gb...

Callysto Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 You need an official Apple 10.4.8 update and a newer kernel 8.8.1 don't know about the decrypts I use AMD but I would imagine they should still be applied because youre updating your system Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33059-just-a-quick-question-well-three-actually/#findComment-233208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callysto Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Careful with it as it can lock your system after install and you need to boot with -s also you have to remove the installationcheck from within the update seeing as you hae 10.4.8 already easiest way is to drag the instller out from the opened .dmg onto the desktop Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33059-just-a-quick-question-well-three-actually/#findComment-233214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callysto Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 You also need your original IOATAFamily.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext to copy back into the updated system.

matemago Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 ok, i downloaded the update, deleted InstallationCheck from .pkg, backup IOATAFamily.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext ... now what? just run the update and when finished, put back IOATA and SMBIOS? then repair permissions? thats all? thanks for helping...

Callysto Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 can you get anywhere with -s -legacy and what kernel are you using?

matemago Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 thanks callisto for answering! look, before i applied the upgrade, i made a backup of all the Extensions directory and the mach_kernel file. when i reboot nothing happened, the pc just kept rebooting. so using XP and macdrive first i tried to restore the kernel, but same thing happened. so i restore kernel backup and all the extensions directory and now i can at least enter with -s and mount -uw /. but it shows me a lot of errors, the gui cannot initiate. i'm going to reboot again so i can take note of errors. ok, this are the errors i'm able to see: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext link / load error AudioIPCDriver.kext link / load error com.apple.driver.HDAController com.apple.driver.IOPCIFamily com.apple.driver.IOHDAFamily kernel 8.4.1 debugger : panic and it stalls in there. if i try with kernel 8.8.1 i cannot even enter with -s.
