I keep getting installation failed when I try to update from 10.6.3, I tried the 10.6.5 combo update and the 10.6.4 combo but they still don't work. Once in a while it'll be successful but on reboot it's still 10.6.3. And I can't boot from chameleon with the legacy kernel installed, with any kernel for that matter.

i managed to update my system to 10.6.6 without any problems, i also used the new kernel and that worked perfectly.

 

i still have a problem with programs like, itunes, kext installers (a few different ones(, and firefox not being able to run. after i click to launch them i get a crash error notice and the option to report to apple. do you have any idea how i could fix this?

 

thanks,

ratroder

ah. what do you mean by rerun the command line?

 

Also how should i run that boot file that was in the previous post?

this

 

amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched

cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
