It reboots, goes to loading darwin, flash of boot screen, then reboot...

 

It was working perfectly before?

 

What Happened?

 

Thanks In Advance!!

 

SPECS:

Centrino 1.8

512 DDR

ATI 9000 Mobil 64mb

IPW2200

 

Happened to my wife as well. She installed the update to 10.4.10 from 10.4.9 simply following the on screen instructions... System was working perfectly before. Which is the best way to Roll back (without loosing installed sw and data)? Upchuck 1.4 installation?

well, as i've noted before in places, OSx86 is not a true Apple OS, so the Apple updates that affect the kernel [such as version upgrades] will kill OSx86. the kernel and requirements were modified to run without Apple *certified* hardware.

 

i made the same mistake myself one time...i guess we all come across it at some point in time.

 

best way to get data back is using a linux live CD, or installing OS X on another HDD, and then adding your HDD as a slave and retrieving data.

 

i can't say theres a direct way to actually fix the installation, the kexts may have been mixed up.

 

if you have a chance, try safe mode, and it may work, however its not 100% proven.

I made the same mistake, finally found a 10.4.10 update for osx86, search the normal places for 10.4.10 Mac OS X update for hackintosh, it worked for me on uphuck 10.4.9 ir2

 

 

As a rule, don't install ANY updates from Apple that affect the system OR core system software, like iTunes. Updates to the iLife suite typically never cause problems-- at least they never have for me-- but updating iTunes has been known to crash a hackintosh or two. It's best to search the forums before you install any update of any kind; for instance, iTunes 7.3.2 update works fine, but 7.3.3 has crashed a lot of hacks.

 

Maybe I'll start a thread that we can sticky as a "Good updates, Bad updates" list for would-be updaters...
