Okay installed the fix for finder, but the other fix I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it, there are no instructions on how or where to install it. "about this Mac " reports my CPU and Ram correctly now, thank you, but I still have the issue with systemreporter.
Thanks again!

One other question if I may. I renamed my kernel "working_kernel" just before I upgraded to 10.5.7 and now I want to be able to boot normally without having to type in working_kernel at the Darwin boot prompt. Can I rename it back to it's original name without damaging or corrupting the kernel? If so, what would the command line syntex be in terminal?

Well I entered the syntax correctly in terminal and the name was changed back to mach_kernel, but when I rebooted the system still would not boot from Darwin, just hung at the boot prompt. I typed in /mach_kernel and it booted normally.
Odd I thought by simply changing back the name to it's original title the system would boot normally? Hmm...maybe someone can give me some insight as to why this did not happen.

I don't realy know what's the cause of this, my only ideas:
1. Try if it works after you made use of the following commands: Quote:

3. If everything doesn't help, change the next two lines of the file mentioned above like this: Quote:

com.apple.boot.plist looked like this when I opened it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel.voodoo</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> </dict> </plist> lol...maybe this could be the problem? Not sure how this happened but I am going to see if I can fix it. I am also beginning to wounder if this error in my boot.plist file had anything to do with the kernel panics I was getting while trying to boot with the voodoo kernel (9.5)? I remember reading somewhere that you had to rename the kernel and remove the ".voodoo" from the end of the title in order to be able to boot natively....not sure if this is true or not, but I am willing to bet so. ![]() Again thank you for the help my friend I will let you know if the edited file boots me normally. ![]() 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
