You don't by any chance have -force64 in your com.apple.boot.plist do you?

I tried Andy's installer because I had a 9.5.0 kernel and a 9.6.0 system.kext. I believe this prevented my USB key from mounting. Still have a 9.5.0 kernel and by the way, couldn't find the com.apple.boot.plist file on my machine???
Any ideas Thanks Louise I'm new to this so I'm not sure what info you need but here goes: Chameleon 1.0.11 4 GB RAM SATA 500 GB HD Used iDeneb 10.5.5 to install Upgrading the kernel with this file: http://www.feelingentity.com/2008/11...ase-candidate/ Apple software update to Leopard 10.5.6 |

Several apps no longer work
Also noticed that after the kernel upgrading using Andy's package installer, several apps no longer work. Most notably, Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint and Filemaker give me the message "The Application Microsoft Word quit unexpectedly". Trashing the prefs didn't solve the problem. My new mantra, a couple of weeks into this experience is "It's not a computer, it's a hobby"!

[quote=lanceomni;20877]How did you update to 10.5.6?
Open Terminal and type: uname -a Reply back with what it says your kernel is. It should look something like: 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0 Voodoo; Release 1.0 :xnu-1228.7.58/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 In answer to your question, I used Apple software update to upgrade to Leopard 10.5.6 (but previously I had done the update included in Voodoo_Kernel_Release_1.0_Rev_A.dmg.) I was not able to do what you suggested because I could no longer mount disk images but I realized from your question and from reading the docs that accompanied the voodoo image above that my problem was that Apple's software update installed a new kernel called mach_kernel but that was not the kernel in the com.apple.boot.plist (yeah I found it finally...as I said, I'm new to this). I renamed mach_kernel to mach_kernel.apple (just to remember where it came from), edited the plist and now "uname -a) says 9.5.6 and this is also the version of the system.kext. Now MS Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and Filemaker quit unexpectedly when I try to load them) but so far so good for everything else. Since I need these to do some "real work", I'll go and do some more reading to solve this issue quickly. If you think you can help with this, I would appreciate it. Thanks. |

Reinstalling "Rosetta translation" didn't work
I thought my problem regarding opening word, filemaker (and several other "older" apps) was a rosetta translation problem and I reinstalled the "translate" file from a package I found here:
http://hosted.filefront.com/iSynic When this didn't work, I copied the file from my Apple MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.6 and this didn't work either. When trying to open these "older" apps, the console reports a "bus error". |

Problem opening disk images (DMG) Well we can fix the not being able to open DMG files. If you replace seatbelt.kext with one previous to the 10.5.6 version you should be good to go. If you do not have a backup copy of this then you can download the 10.5.5 single update and extract the file using Pacifist. Kernel issues Did you mean 9.5.0 because you listed 9.5.6. I figured it was a typo. Did it did say Voodoo RC1? NFOav8or had some good advice for kernels. His method was to keep a copy of the Voodoo kernel as mach_kernel.voodoo and also rename a second copy as mach_kernel this way if an update overwrites it you can just copy over it. Even if you restart and the system hangs you can set OSX to load mach_kernel.voodoo as a boot option. PPC application problems. The only thing I know of dealing with Rosetta problems is forcing 64bit mode. What other flags do you have in your com.apple.boot.plist Kernel, system.kext & seatbelt.kext manual Installation Place mach_kernel.voodoo seatbelt.kext & system.kext on your desktop (the following commands rely on those files being on the desktop) Ill explain each command. Open terminal and type: 1. Give yourself root privilages to modify files Code:

cp -r ~/Desktop/mach_kernel.voodoo /mach_kernel.voodoo Code:
cp -r /mach_kernel.voodoo /mach_kernel Code:
