I just tried with Software Update on iATKOS 1.0r2 and it installed, then OS X blew up "you need to restart" style. It won't boot, trying to single user using -s shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" over and over. The only troubleshooting I tried was moving the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext out of the extensions directory, this didn't resolve the problem (and I didn't really expect it to) but it stopped doing the Package 0 thing. Booting with -s just hangs after the cursor appears.

 

I can re-do my install, that's no problem (only did it yesterday) but was curious if there was any way to try to salvage it.

Easier than Netkas' method (with all due respect to the man....)

 

In Software Update, Select Download only.

After you get the pkg; use Pacifist to install, deselect the kexts you want to retain or don't want to install.

Works fine on my rig, GUID w/ PC_EFI installed from a Retail DVD.

but what means netkas by

"now u can recover ur applesmbios/applehda/etc (didn;’t u forget to make backups b4 running update ?"

What kexts are to be recovered ? All ? Some ? One ? None ?

 

He means Hackintosh specific kexts ie your Audio kext, Natit, AppleSMBIOS if you have an older one, IONetworking if that fixed Time Machine.

I've got an E520, GUID, ICH8R. I've got a lot on this machine right now, I'd rather not lose it.

 

And, I'm sorry that I don't understand, but if all we need for PC EFI to work and make the OS think its Mac hardware is dsmos, then why aren't these all working perfectly. I know there is probably more to it, but I just don't understand what. Anybody?

Interesting method. Does sound easier. Thanks for sharing...
