mobile2go Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 My update went swell with the Netkas guide, but I'm scared to do the video update. I'm running Iaktos Leo on a MSI 945GCM5-F Motherboard w/1GB ram and a Nivdia 7300 GS PCI-e Video Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inedible Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well ...Since the update it skips this step and takes me straight into the kernel panic without the choice of choosing, say, windows. try mashing F8 repeatedly while it's booting up.. it may still allow you to enter options, it's just got a 0second delay now.

mobile2go Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Worked for me. nVIDIA GeForce FX5200 It should work. Do you think it will make a difference with my Nvidia 7300 GS if I install the graphics update or should I wait until I get a better card? Also did you update through Apple's software update download or from a separate installer like the 10.5.2 update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inedible Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 So does anyone know if you can delete AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext *after* a botched update, by booting off the install disk? or should I just nuke the partition now and start over?

yanbee Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hello, I get "Still waiting for root device" if I follow this guide. This message never appeared before. I updated from iATKOS v1.0i, only efi patch installed. I cant boot in -s or -v mode. Any suggestion? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurto2021 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I usually remap my keys so that ctrl is now the command key and the windows key is the ctrl key. I would assume then I have to use the windows key. oh yeah...what are the odds that we can just patch the dmg file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandar Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ok, I disconnected the windows drive, typed F8 rigorously and have a boot: prompt. It tells me to type ? and press enter and it will give me advanced startup options. Did that... it does nothing. What command should I type? Thanks Pandar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandar Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ok, I typed -x and it acted like it was trying to boot. Finally a zero with a line through it showed up above the apple. Anything else to try or do I wipe the drive and start again? Thanks Pandar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico3d3 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I ran the 10.5.2 update using Netkas instructions and everything ran fine. Then, I installed the graphic update too and it's still working fine. I lost audio, but I read on another post that you can restore by reinstalling the driver so that's what I'm doing right now... Also, I do have the problem that other people were reporting, with the About this Mac, not reporting correct infos, but I guess it's not so important as long as my hackingtosh is working.

yanbee Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Devin, Sorry I dont find anything about this. Also the strange thing is that I've a long time using iATKOS v1.0 without "waiting for root device" problem. I now, from the update I find this.. When I tried kalyway for first time, I had same problem, then I installed iATKOS and didnt have this problem any more. Do anyone knows how to fix "Still waiting for root device problem"?? Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Philippe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi, I am trying to update from a fresh Kalyway install since I screwed up my setup (got a kernel panic during install). I did used the combo file each time. But on my new try with a fresh install I got an error on first line at boot after update saying something about ACPI or something like "that plateform could not be found .. ". Question 1 : When you say "-- Before you reboot, move any KEXTS from the backups you made, back to the Extensions folder. This may include AppleACPIPlatform,kext and others, graphics, sound, etc. --" what exactly should be bring back or not from backup? I did moved back AppleACPIPlatform or something like that, but its the only kext I moved back. Question 2 : Should I install sound kext + video nvInject before or after the update? Thanks for any advice! I am kind of getting tired of installing mac osx again and again this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Bring back necessary drivers you may need, or any required files you patched to boot, etc. 2) I would do it before. If it doesn't work after update, like for a few people, reinstall afterward too. Hope that helps out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
