EDIT: install this before you update and it will cause the system to disregard that kext that is causing the kernel panic. Ensure correct permissions.

Thnx, ill try this as soon as i get home :)

Try reinstalling your gfx kexts or string.

how do i do that if i can't even login though?

Use your install DVD and use the Terminal to install kexts via an external drive (USB HD, Flash Drive, etc).

Do you have a other osx installation?
Try removing the kexts for youre gfx card.
If not try booting into safe mode, -x.
Hope it helps :)

Retail / Native Running OS X on Hacintosh
 
While I don't have a Phenom CPU, I thought it fitting I post here stating I am running native OS X via my Hacintosh (same one in the specs) by using the method munky proposed both here and at his original location at insanelymac.com.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127330

EDIT: I figure I better explain... everyone has probably read munky's post here: http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/howto...alls-on-t1609/ so it comes as no surprise that this method can now be used with the voodoo RC kernel on the EFI partition of a GUID partition schemed drive.

Did you use a boot 132 cd?
If so could you maybe post you're cd?
Got the same pc as you ;)

Edit: Just did a fresh install again, updated to 10.5.5 using the apple update with the intel kext loaded.
I only had to recopy the rc1 kernel...

just a nice simple tip always keep 2 copies of kernel on root i call 1 backup then if an update puts a new kernel on i just type backup -v -f at bootloader screen then recopy mach_kernel

nfoav8or 12-03-2008 04:00 AM

I did the same... I had mach_kernel and voodoo (both were the same file but one was just a rename)... that way, during an update I just used the boot flag "voodoo -f -v" and it worked.... that was also back in the beta days of voodoo.

ya, since i rarely shut my osx down i just renamed my kernel mach_kernel2 and left it at that. after the install loaded up the old mach_kernel2 and still no load. do you think its the video kext for sure? if it loads into a blank screne? is that more times than no the problem? because if so i will def try loading the kext through terminal. now i just need to learn how to use terminal
