giga.ubuntu Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi, I'm trying to see if I'm running 10.6.0 Vanilla enough to be able to update without having to mess with any files. I bought the 29$ Snow Leopard CD, restored it to a USB stick, ran Kakewalk and pointed it to my USB stick. Then I booted off the stick and installed. Then I installed Chameleon on that partition. Can I just run the updater? Or do I need to change/delete and kexts before? My Extras folder has these: fakesmc openhaltrestart legacyHDA and jMicronATA Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/212981-am-i-vanilla/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ileikcaek Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think you should be able to, but I would never do an OS X Version upgrade without at least doing a full back-up onto another drive with Carbon Copy Cloner. then if it goes wrong you can go back to your old install.

martigasco Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You should check netkas.org as well (every time you want to make an update), even if you 'are vanilla', there are some kexts that need an update to work with the new version, and that's a thing you wanna know before you update! kernel panics are not fun at all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/212981-am-i-vanilla/#findComment-1429686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalanni Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 martasco is right...kernel panics sux...but you should be fine as you dont have sleepenabler.kext GL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/212981-am-i-vanilla/#findComment-1429836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephira Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 you could also move all your kext's, DSDT and your bootloader to the EFI partition, so if something does go wrong you can just do a quick restore/reinstall without having to do all your hacks again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/212981-am-i-vanilla/#findComment-1429979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
