No Installer Packages .. - Page 5

I think the key is what OG-Phantom mentioned: running the installer from an OS that is NOT Snow Leopard results in troubles, I got the same troubles plus errors in the installations log but when I install SL booting from an USB Installer I got none at all, everything works 100% and no installation errors.
So in my opinion the only complete fix could be:
- Installing Snow booting from the DVD/USB.
- Install from Leopard launching OSInstall.mpkg, and then when you have a running Snow, install again from Snow with OSInstall.mpkg, but targeting a new partition.

I can't install bsd.pkg, because during install i get KP, i've tried it 5 times and i always get KP when it's less then a minute left. Any ideas solving that?

Use Kext Utility to repair your permissions quickly.

Absolutely. I have done numerous installs, and have not been able to make a stable vanilla install without using a "boot132" (USB/DVD) style method of booting the installer or using the last method you mentioned.

Kext utility only repairs permissions on the kexts. Not the whole drive.

I have the same problem on my Toshiba Satellite L305 laptop, I have the "Golden Master" version of Snow leopard.

I am going to try software update or just download the update manually. Can I update properly with the "Golden Master" edition?

From what I see from your post, your re-installing the bsd.pkg using a little bit different method? Re-installing the bsd.pkg for me, just "tricked" the disk utility. It would repair permissions in under 30 seconds (which isn't really happening, it's just less broken) Repairing permissions should and does take between 1-3 minutes depending on how many permissions are off.

The "GM" disk is the retail disk. GMs are what are used to mass produce the retail. Same thing.
