Axethrower Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi all! I just don't get it anymore. I have a working installation with JAS 10.4.8 SSE3 reseed. With working I mean video , lan , audio, about this mac etc I just have to boot with the -f option Now I just want to update the kernel to semtex b8. I used several scripts (prasys) , downloaded it manualy ... no luck The problem is that I can't boot with the new kernel. After loading the kexts my pc just reboots. Options like -s -f -x etc do not work. Repairing permissions from terminal , from boot dvd etc don't help either Did I forgot something? An upgrade? Can someone help me out ?

Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 If you haven't deleted them, you should be able to boot using copies of the old kernels. At boot, press F8 and type: mach_kernel.old or type: mach_kernel.4 Once booted, go to Terminal and type: sudo cp -f /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.bad sudo cp -f /mach_kernel.old /mach_kernel <--- use name of kernel you actually - booted for first parameter sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36868-i-dont-get-it-anymore/#findComment-262189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axethrower Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Thanks Rammjet (again ) But the point is ... it works with the "old kernel" but not with the new one. I can't find an answer why it doesn't work with the semtex b8 kernel. Is it so different than the "old" kernel ?

Axethrower Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 bump I'd realy like to try a new kernel. Can someone help me out ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36868-i-dont-get-it-anymore/#findComment-262818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretMan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 To upgrade to the new kernel, you also need to install the Apple Combo updater to 10.4.8 and reinstall a couple of kexts to get things working. The point being that you need to have the kernel and the compatible system files, not a combination of the new kernel with old files... that may be your problem. There was a guide floating around somewhere here, so try a search... or alternatively download the updated DVD installer from the usual place... (don't ask me, I'm just passing through... ;-) Ciao...

eGWan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi all! I just don't get it anymore. Options like -s -f -x etc do not work. Repairing permissions from terminal , from boot dvd etc don't help either Did I forgot something? An upgrade? Can someone help me out ? Thanks Axethrower i just wonder if it still failed even you have try to boot with -s are you sure you're going to use Semthex B8 kernel? all i heard is pc will keeps rebooting if you are try to use Mifki or DaemonES without NX/HPET enabled in BIOS All Semthex should work without it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36868-i-dont-get-it-anymore/#findComment-263429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
