nynor Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 brilliant work. i updated from kalyway 10.5.2. everything works, with one exception: i have a second partition on my hard drive that cannot be found. it is still there, with data, confirmed with the kalyway install CD, but the OS cannot see it. if anyone has any ideas, i'd love to hear them. i am going to back up my install on a removable drive and use a different kernel and see if this solves the problem.

breakingbad Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 u needed to choose kernel as well!!! you are using an official update unlike before, you are using totaly official update, + couple of patches afterwards... everyone has to choose a kernel selection for their liking, or else, only specific intel chipsets will work this is a known fact i think people dont read enough... i will put a note for that in the guide.... Well I imagine that I had to choose one kernel, but when I updated my TEST partition, I left it all kernel options unchecked and it worked well. My test partition is up to date, but my main one is now gone. LOL. In both updates I didn´t check any kernel at all. []´s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate. I´m not trying to be smarter than anybody here. I´m just saying here in the forum that, for my first test with your update combo v1.1, I didn´t need to select any kernel option and with the v1.2 I did the same (not choosing any kernel) and didn´t work the same way. Don´t need to be mad mate. []´s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paratox Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 how did you do the update? which steps did you follow? pre patch? official update? post patch with custom settings? and what custom settings have u choosen? ok, i try to give more infos: my system: mainboard: ga-ep35-ds4 bios F5 cpu: q6600@3GHz vcore@1,3125 ram: corsair 2x2GB 1066 dual channel video: point of view 9800gtx+ my install: 10.5.2 kalyway -> mysticus 10.5.3 combo update -> mysticus 10.5.4 update | vanilla 9.4.0 kernel some weeks ago i installed the graphic drivers from 10.5.5 9f9installer.pkg audio and video were working with chameleon efi & strings methode (did it manualy couse for my graphic card there is no tool) all was working fine until 10.5.5 update 10.5.5 update: -pre patch; no reboot -10.5.5 combo update from apple; no reboot -post patch with the following custom settings: vanilla 9.5.0 kernel, ICHx fix, restore audio, restore network, smbios 1066 + macpro; reboot -after second reboot i deleted all kext files with powermanagement in its name what is not working: -shutdown -reboot -QE/CI what is working: -all other things are working, sleep not tested what i tried to fix the problems: -reverted to old AppleACPIPlatform.kext (the one for my mainboard with restart fix) -> no boot, "does not match with kernel version ..." or something like that -reverted to the AppleACPIPlatform.kext wich was installed by update -> boots, no restart, no shutdown -installed 9f23installer.pkg by nvinstaller in hope off get QE/CI working -> no success -tried to install leopard graphics update 1.0 -> couldn`t choose disk, so i couldn't install it i hope this was enough info and someone could help me!

nynor Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 what type of partition is your second partition? osx? or windows ntfs? dos/fat? it is osx, for sure. i had the same problem with an iATKOS v4 install. the kalyway 10.5.2 showed the partition and it worked. when i did the 10.5.5 update, it doesn't show the other osx partition on the drive. this is not a deal breaker. in fact, i am VERY happy with the install and your assistance. my DVD playback is flawless, which was a problem with the other two installs mentioned above. strong work mysticus, you are the dude!

Mysticus C* Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 guide creates additional stuffs as well which later complicates things... guid mainly is good for server type of systems, a regular good old JOE will not change his partition size too often, and there is no need for it as well, apart from looking cool to say i have guid use mbr and dont worry about others... and i dont think u ll be installing more than 3 operating systems in one hdd... see my guide in post one regarding how to make brick free system... partitioning part is guidance and up to you to size it as you like but u need to understand the idea... once you do, rest is very easy, and u wont brick anything...

paratox Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 paratox: i dont know what is the deal with 9800 card but it looks like your qe/ci is supported through some patches? , so what i can suggest you is go to root and find the backupkexts_prior_10_5_5combo (of cource if you didnt run the packages twice, which would back up current ones which would have no effect) and copy back your previous files using terminal sudo su pass cd to back up folder and cp -R GeF* /System/Library/Extensions/ cp -R NVD* /System/Library/Extensions/ that should be it for gfx and for audio, you should just use restore option, bcoz you are using efi strings in com.apple.boot.plist which should not be overwritten i think.. others are also necessary, like chipset: ichx smbios and kernel as 9.4.0 and not the vanilla! today morning shutdown magicaly works. after work i`ll restore the graphix extensions and report. i shouldn`t use vanilla kernel? 9.5.0 vanilla works, the only thing wich won`t work is restart at now. on 10.5.4 i had 9.4.0 vanilla kernel installed and all was working. which kernel should i choose? eidt: i now found the error on boot, if i revert to the old AppleACPIPlatform.kext (for fixing restart problem): Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style. would be changing the Info.plist to correct version a solution? if yes, for what do i have to pay attention?
