Upgrade time
*Okay now I am going have to extremely recommend that you do a complete backup of your system and any important files. I use an app called SuperDuper to clone my drive before doing anything drastic.
1. Backing up, (Not to be confused with a full system backup... which I recommend) Before we do anything we should make a backup copy of your kexts in a handy easy to get to place. 1. Give yourself root privileges so that you can modify files. Code:
sudo -s Code:
mkdir /backup Code:
cd /System/Library Code:
cp -r Extensions/ /backup Next we will try to pick out the patched kexts you might have installed. We will place them in a separate folder called patched. Go ahead and open Terminal and type: Code:
mkdir /patched Im not sure if you tried the one you were asking out ealier. It should fix system freezes when memory uses goes passed 2gb. You will need it or your old one. This is the most important of all. Seatbelt.kext Looking at the list of kexts you posted shows me you have Seatbelt.kext installed. If you are running 10.5.2 you shouldn't have needed this. You will however need the Seatbelt.kext version from 10.5.5 that matches your new Voodoo kernel. Without this the system will freeze when mounting DMGs This thread explains seatbelt in detail: http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/update...lt-kext-t1992/ You can download the version you need here: http://rapidshare.com/files/215747482/seatbelt_1055.zip Place it on your desktop and the commands below will move it where it needs to be. System.kext You will need a version that matches your kernel. Version 9.5.0 from the 10.5.5 release. You just installed this version with the Voodoo kernel. AppleSMBIOS.kext You may have a patched version Disabler.kext This kexts disables a few pesky powermanagment kexts that will give you problems. You can get it here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.p...=post&id=41446 dsmos.kext This is your decryptor. You will need it ![]() Lets gather these files and put them in /patched Code:
cd /System/Library/Extensions cp -R AppleNForceATA.kext /patched cp -R System.kext /patched cp -R dsmos.kext /patched cp -R AppleSMBIOS.kext /patched cd /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop cp -R Seatbelt.kext /patched cp -R Disabler.kext /patched 3. Check your boot preferences com.apple.Boot.plist Lets double check your boot preferenes com.apple.Boot.plist located in /Library/Preferences/Systemconfiguration I would go ahead and drag a copy to your desktop for a backup. Open it up and see what you have listed under Kernel and Kernel Flags. Make note of these. Things like (-v -legacy cpus=1 mach_kernel.something boot-uuid) if you have any. I do believe the Voodoo installer places the Kernel string mach_kernel.voodoo 4. Make note of your install partitions location Open Disk Utility and find your install partition. Right click on it and select information. Write down both your Disk Identifier - looks something like disk0s2 and Universal Unique Identifier - looks something like 82A8E2CC-FB80-3F8B-B28B-7E62A4AAABBB I know the UUID is long but it can really help out if you are having problems booting. 5. Download the 10.5.8 Combo update Download the 10.5.8 Combo Update Installer from Apple's website Okay now we are getting ready to go all in. Open up Terminal and type Code:
sudo su Code:
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext It should start loading kexts and restart again. Do the same boo-flags and hopefully you will have your system up and running. 6. Trouble shooting If you can not boot into OSX make sure and try the -x boot-flag If it seems to reboot quickly over and over again or hangs early on try booting using the following -v mach_kernel.voodoo boot-uuid=THAT-LONG-ASS-NUMBER If else than just reply back with the line it hangs on. Having access to a second computer would be handy to ask questions if you get errors. We can talk to through most any problems you come across. I work durring the week and sometimes, like today am able to surf the forums other days not so much so be patient and ill get back to you if you have any problems. Good Luck.

Try these in this order and see if one gives you a working system.
1. Try using the following boot flags Code:
-v -f -x Code:
-s Code:
/sbin/mount -uw / Code:
mkdir /Backup2 cd /System/Library cp -R Extensions/ /Backup2 rm -Rf Extensions.mkext cd Extensions rm -Rf ATI* rm -Rf GeForce* rm -Rf NVDA* rm -Rf natit.kext rm -Rf titan.kext rm -Rf NVinject.kext rm -Rf NVkush.kext A little trial and error and we should have you back up and running.

Lets try this:
Boot your install DVD and open Terminal type: Code:
nano /Volumes/YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/1 If you used any spaces in your install name you can type this: Code:
nano /Volumes/"YOUR INSTALL NAME"/scripts/1 MOBO: Z77MX-QUO-AOS CPU: Core i7 3770K GPU: MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC Case: Modded MacPro2,1 Memory: 32GB Corsair Vengeance (CMY32GX3M4A1600C9) Wifi: Airport Extreme bcm94321MCA BIOS: HermitCrab Labs H3A.816M Monitor: AOC Q2963Pm 29" WFHD 2560x1080 21:9 Interests: KDE on Apple Darwin, Keeping it real with the command line, Helping those that help themselves |

Well this little script is probably your problem and I forgot to mention it.
![]() I assume you are using windows to post these replies. We can try to copy the script to a usb drive and edit it in windows using notepad and then place it back into place. I would format a usb thumb drive as FAT32 in windows, give it a name with no spaces and something easy to remember. Boot your install dvd with the thumb drive plugged in open Terminal and type: Change directories to the scripts folder Code:
cd /Volumes/YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/ Code:
ls -l 1 Code:
cp 1 /Volumes/YOUR_INSTALL_NAME Code:
cp 1 /Volumes/THUMB_DRIVE Code:
cd /Volumes/THUMB_DRIVE ls Code:
cd /Volumes rm YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/1 cp THUMB_DRIVE/1 YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/1 cd YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts ls -l 1 Code:

Why so complex? I would try to update with using fakesmc, instead of a decrypter & editing that script.
