Akshunhiro Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 You guys who have been successful, can you go to About this mac > More info > Software and tell me your kernel version? My system is booting fine but is still running the old kernel so technically hasn't updated. I'm on 10.3 and new kernel is 10.4. Need some insight on this 'Refused new kext' error.

dandaman1976 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 GA-X58A-UD3R with update 10.6.4? anyone? I just got this working with audio for 10.6.3 and wondering how if anyone with these specs or similar had any issues or not while updating to 10.6.4... GA-X58A-UD3R with o/c i7 930 running at 3.8 stable 6 gigs 1600 corsair ram wd 1.5 hd blu-ray lite on sata drive Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrimpy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Updated - had to replace AppleHDA.kext to get the sound back - am running VoodooHDA.kext as well. Everything appear to work fine - speedstep, sleep etc. MB - GA-X58A-UD7 i7 920 oc to 3.99 - stable 6GB 1600 Geil RAM XFX 9600GT 512MB F6 BIOS Noticed Geekbench scores are lower - was getting 14300+, now 13600. Have had to replace the MB so the BIOS got updated and the settings reset but think I set everything back to normal. Not sure if the hardware change or the OS change caused the slow down. Anyone else seen a drop in performance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToBeMac Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 If am on 10.6.3 at the main time, should i go for the regular 10.6.4 update or the combo one? Any differences? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case - MAC OS X 10.6.4 is faster than 10.6.3. As for now it's the only difference I was able to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshunhiro Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is anyone able to tell me why I'm getting these 'refusing new kext' errors? It's got to be something simple but searching has gotten me nowhere and it's doing my head in... Here's the full error... Refusing new kext com.apple.kernel.mach, v7.9.9: a loaded copy with a different executable UUID is already present. Refusing new kext com.apple.kpi.mach, v10.4: already have loaded v10.3 This happens with a bunch of files. My system boots but obviously using the old files, how do I fix this?

Thanks for the reply, but what i meant is whether to go with the normal small update (10.6.3-10.6.4) or is it more safe to install the combo update?

KevinAGI Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I installed and what a surprise. My six core i980x finally supported!! Yeah!! Sasta, I would love to know your hardware list and a brief description of your install process. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 no problem with the 10.6.4, except that i had to change the mac id in smbios file, from imac9.1 to macpro3.1 reason: extremely slow performances in 3d games, i think it's come from the agpm module, maybe we have now to set the GPU throttle properly with a legacyagpm, to have good performances when we use AGPM ?? someone have the same issue ?? I haven't updated yet but I'm assuming that AGPM is now loading native with iMac9,1 model id? If so it's best you do have LegacyAGPM.kext but must be edited with correct threasholds for your GPU and your GPU device id. See this most useful thread here This also of use .. here D.

Akshunhiro Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 OK, I am tripping balls... Don't know why but I tried booting through the second HD (They are in software Raid0) and I am now in the new 10.4 kernel. I got no errors regarding refused kexts and everything is working as it should including audio. I don't know why but it won't boot into 32 bit mode.

sasta Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Sasta,I would love to know your hardware list and a brief description of your install process. Kevin Well I have gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev1 with i980x six core cpu. Had to do some tricks and finally boot with legacy_kernel and busratio=25 in 32bit mode only before, but with 10.6.4 I boot vanilla with no kernel flags in both 32 and 64bit. As for installation I booted with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], made my own dsdt added chameleon from asere (1.1.9) and some extensions, upgraded to 10.6.3 and that was all. Also I used voodoohda for sound. I made some changes to smbios.plist for my memory id and cpu-id but only memory and cpu freq was ok. My cpu-type is still "unknown" even after 10.6.4. I guess I will need a new SMcputype code for my processor. That's all. PM me if you need something more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
