Maybe it has something to do with updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 directly. I'm gonna download the 10.7.3 combo update and start there, cuz I've now bombed my install 3 times. Thank GOD for Carbon Copy Cloner (if you don't have it you should get it, it's free).

Has anyone updated from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 yet?

I did 10.7.3 > 10.7.4 via Delta Update pkg.

I would guess it just depends on some part of the caches beeing rebuild, wether your system will boot or not.

Most likely using xnu-1699.26.8 will do the trick, but we will have to wait until Apple releases the source code, so we can recompile & try...

I don't believe I have that kext installed even on 10.7.2, maybe that's my problem? I just rolled back the AppleFileSystemDriver.kext, mach_kernel & Finder.app, rebooted and I'm stuck at the same point.

Maybe I should install that kext?

Ok this is getting weird lol using that kext I'm gonna have to change SATA config in bios?? Every Hackintosh install I've ever had required me to turn on AHCI. So this is gonna be interesting lol and it will probably not let me boot into my SL without changing BIOS settings lol grrrrr

Well there are (have been) mainboards using the IDE interface for accessing devices and / or mainboards with chipsets that do not support AHCI.^^
Those controller that are not supported natively by OS X (AMD/ATI, SiS, VIA, nForce etc) of course need some extra kext driver.

When in AHCI mode your ATA controller has a different device ID then in IDE mode & that kext would not even getting loaded.

...forgot to mention; that kext should work for Snow Leopard as well...

Yeah, haha, I didn't know that. I guess I'm one of the people with no AHCI SATA support then. It makes sense considering my computer is six years old.
