Well I've hit the wall...again. I've been trying to update to 10.6.2 and it kernel panics almost immediately. I've lost sound and when I remove sleepenable.kext for some reason I lose my ethernet connnection as well.

I'm not too sure where I went wrong but it's 1:30am and I need to work in the morning. Dammit.

My rig:
GA-G31M-ES2L rev.2 - Intel E5200 - Corsair XMS2 DDR2 4 gig - Zotac 9400GT 1gig - Samsung / Seagate drives - OSX 10.6 - Windows 7

I removed sleepenabler.kext, rebuilt the kext cache, downloaded and installed the 10.6.2, added in the new sleepenabler.kext and then rebuilt the cache.

I use the V1 motherboard, your signature appears to be V2 so wonder if that is anything to do with it?

Not too sure either. When I look at the KP screen I see that it is the sleepenabler that is causing the problem. I think that part of the problem was that I tried to load the new sleepenabler kext before doing the upgrade so that I hopefully wouldn't lose ethernet. I must be doing something incorrectly because it's my understanding that sleepenable has nothing to do with ethernet. Gosh this is as bad as when I would spend hours trying to configure early linux distros.

My next step is to download the 10.6.2 combo file and do an offline installation. I'll see if that works.

If anyone is looking for the offline files they can be found here.

I have a 10.6 system following this guide. I never used sleep enabler though.

Some people might be interested in the way I test updates now. I use carbon copy to clone my current drive (i was made following this guide). Just reinstall chameleon bootloader ( here ). That will give you a perfect copy of your system that is bootable. boot into the new system from bios. try your upgrade configuration. If and when it doesnt work. go to carbon copier again clone your working drive again, this time it wont take very long to clone your drive since it compares files before it moves them. it is awsome.

I am trying to update this system too and I am having trouble. I have gotten 10.6.2 to work.

Update
add new sleepenabler (i didnt have old one)
delete extentions.mkext
rebuild as advise earlier in thread.

got it to boot buuuuuuut

its weird. it doesnt sleep like my current system does. ethernet issues. etc...

i'll keep a look out and I can try a few tweak everyday till i get it. with this carbon copy work flow it is easy to test out changes. good luck. look forward to other results.

A great suggestion. I've been doing the same thing but have been using Disk Utility. I ran into a problem where it didn't image properly. Do you have Carbon copy on a bootable USB or disk?

How!? How does one rebuild the kext cache?

thanks.
I have updated to 10.6.2 like in a previous post.

By the way, I am using a rev 2.0 mobo, 4g mem, msi 9400 gt graphics card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127398, another pci nic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833166017



In case some are using case sensitive partition, dsdt.aml should be DSDT.sml. That is, it is CASE SENSITIVE.
Otherwise, sound would not work and others may not.

Are there still issues using 4 gigs of RAM?

ie. when I was doing my 10.5.6 build using this mobo, folks generally recommended sticking with only 2G of memory.. folks with 4G had stability issues... at least that's what my fuzzy mind seems to remember from ~8 months ago when I last did this.

(getting ready to try again, using these very nice instructions for Snow Leopard)
