Thanxxxxxx Daniela check my note under the for the temporary fix... i m currently fixing all the errors hopefully... it will be the last... i m gonna test now the terminal fix and other small issues... especially the audio problems... but not guaranteed for network though... people may need their previous fixings as well... entire extensions folder will be saved under /backups so you all know where to look for after the update... the latest and hopefully the final update package... i dont wanna see anymore errors @euthenics: have you checked any kernel option? let me know which one you did... bcoz it sounds much like one kernel option has problem removing older system.kext to replace it to latest... my suggestion on this was to not select any kernel... but obviously people are too itchy to play with things they dont know very well...

verdant Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 pcgenusbehci is the one i was talking about... tahts why i asked you to deselect the pcgen selection from kalyway install.. i think u already had it installed with it when u cloned your hdd... remove the pcgenusbehci!! it will cause conflict... best thing to do is use my usb not mount fix, first before the update! it will bring back original usb driver... and update package will update what is necessary... Hi Mysticus, I have hopefully cleaned up my Kalyway 10.5.2 Cloning Master now......I had cleaned up my cloned systems but had forgotten to clean up the Cloning Master....my fault....

But the system crashed... it shows that screen saying the I must hold down the power button for a while and turn-off the computer... I went back and restored the TimeMachine backup... but now I can only boot using the iATKOS DVD... wtf!!! My bootloader is corrupted and I don't have any idea of what to do in order to get it back!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euthenics Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Managed to installed your combo update 10.5.3 v1.4a, Hardware Specs: Kalyway 10.5.2 CPU: Intel Pentium D 3.2MHz Motherboard: Intel 955XBK SATA HDD and ASUS DVD-RW So far only notice 2 things break. My sound card 9221A1 which by the way is only working partly before install this combo. Secondly, when I plug the USB in, nothing comes out on the desktop. But system profiler shows that it's working, able to detect my thumb drive. Previous version (Kalyway 10.5.2) no problem. Any idea on this issue? Image below: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28070410@N08/2610506615/ Apart from that, NVinject 128 (Fully working QE/CI/QGL), able to run a number of software applications but will need to test more and observe. Thank you for the combo update. Great work. I still can't get the USB to work properly. It says detected in the System Profiler, but it does not mount it on the desktop. Didn't use pcgenusbehci. Any idea on how to resolve this? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a boot command we can set to only use 2 gb of ram on boot? I got 8 gb of ram and are not about to remove 6 of that just to meet this requirement. I agree with the nforce ethernet controller/forcedeth kext, it never works properly for me anyways. Says it's always unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it's always unplugged. I used the maxmem=2048, but still the freeze. Question is... when I use the maxmem=2048, and I boot, system says I have only 2g of ram.. so, the problem is that the 2g of ram are still conected to the hardware?? P.D: I´m not using LAN!

Mysticus C* Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 nforce mobo questions here (this is my nforce topic...) read post#2 carefully, it http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...&pid=626130 usb not mounting issue caused by mismatched kernel & system kext make sure you are using both same versions say 9.2.0 kernel should work with 9.2.0 system.kext if anyway they dont match, usb devices wont mount if you dont stick it at start and boot with it... solution? match it correctly! with correct versions! there is a USB not mounting topic which is using my installer... but i alsa have a link to teh installer on my nforce topic as well... check post#2 for usb problem...

Tense Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 On a side note. Mysticus. I know you are busy yelling at people..... But, I wanted to mention that on your advice.

Euthenics Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks for the advise. I did read the link. I just found out that I got the same Terminal error too. I also did the small fix as advised on preflight before performing the combo update. In the end, followed haxi advised and got the Terminal to work as normal again. As for USB problem, after I found that I had selected the pcgenusbehci installed by default during my initial Kalyway 10.5.2 installation, I proceeded to download the USB1.3 fix.mpkg and basically installed only the 9.2.2 System.kext only and USB Family Original - Restore-Backup. Did not select any kernel as I'm already using Kernel 9.2.2 Modbin. Reboot it and everything works fine. It was only after I installed the 10.5.3 combo update v1.4a, I found out the USB mount did not work. I did try to redo the USB1.3 fix with the same selection but it does not work as well. Any clue on how to resolve this? Much advise is appreciated. EDITED: Ok, I think I figure out the problem. Mysticus was right, there wasn't a matching between the kernel and system kext. My old kernel was running Modbin 9.2.2. Once I did the combo update, my kernel was changed to 9.2.0 TOH (sleep kernel), that is why it was not working. After I run the USB Fix, this time selecting the right system.kext, it's working now. I did not realise the kernel was changed all this while and I'm not sure how to check my kernel version. So it seems that when I perform the combo update, even though I did not select any kernel (because I want to continue using my old kernel), the update package will install automatically the 9.2.0 sleep kernel as the notes informed. I only found out the kernel version because of the Taruga patch problem whereby after using v1.20 where I loaded the Sigma 9221 in order to get it work partially, each time I use the -v option, I will have shutdown problem with the errror: panic(cpu a caller 0x003EB81C):" A driver releasing a(n) AppleHDAController has corrupted the registry \n@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1228.5.18/libkern/c++/OSObject.cpp:241 From there I saw the kernel version. Would like to ask three question here if allowed: 1) How does one check the full path kernel version (like if I want to know if it's 9.2.0 TOH or Kaby & etc) besides checking on the System Software overview 2) Change to another kernel version? So perhaps I may need to use pcwiz on kernel installer or OSx86 Tools Utility. 3)I actually like the Kalyway kernel selection option where one can choose each kernel to test. By the way, any steps on how to restore that should one desire? Thank you in advance for the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
