10.6.4 breaks NBI kernel patching #284

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install OS X 10.6.4 update
2. Reboot

What netbook are you using this on?
Dell Mini 9

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect NBI to re-install what it needs to after the update (which it does) and 
then patch the new kernel to work with the atom processor (seems to be broken 
now. It now kernel panics at boot.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
NBI 0.8.4 RC1, OS X 10.6.4

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The kernel patching is working fine, it has something to do with the 
CPUIDOverride.kext. Try booting with recovery=y and the panic should be 
bypassed. I've also been working on an updated bootloader to replace the said 
kext, which will help with the issue.

I got the same on my Samsung NC10. 10.6.3 was running fine, I updated to 
10.6.4, NBI runs after the reboot, but the I get "Unsupported CPU Type"...

And how do I boot with recovery=y? I did a TimeMachine backup before updating...

@syre.knuffi: Boot while holding down shift. At the grey screen with your boot 
disk, start typing recovery=y. you should see it in the bottom left corner of 
the screen Hit enter to boot. Not that this will disable many of your kernel 
extensions, so things like wifi and sound may not work after booting in 
recovery mode.

BTW as rported by meklort on the mydell mini forums:

"The issues is that NBI has a hardcoded value of 256mb for the ramdisk that it 
uses to create the Extensions.mkext. It copies /S/L/E to the ramdisk and then 
/Extra/<macine>Ext there. On my machine, the /S/L/E is larger than 256mb, and 
that's causing issues. You can always try removing kexts that you know you'll 
never need (such as Nvidia and ATI kexts from /System/Library/Extensions, 
which'll easily cut out 50+mb) in order to reduce the size and rerun NBI again.

What I need to do is change the way NBI work in order to really fix this, but 
that'll take a little bit of time. I'll try to increase the hardcoded value as 
a temporary fix one I fix my build environment."

So, expect a band-aided NBI release tonight that should get folks up and 
running again; if you're in a rush you can remove some uneeded kexts and try 
reinstalling NBI.

FYI, the following worked for me on a Mini 10v -- thanks to meklort and 
appleguru for the tip here :)

cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo rm -rf NVD* ATI* GeForce* AppleIntelGMAX3100*
du -hsc .

should show you disk usage for S/L/E somewhere in the 140-180mb range, but I 
forget what it said on my system. It's possible that the NBI ramdisk would 
still stay under 256mb with less removed, but these all seemed safe for a Mini 
10v.

run NBI again, reboot... works for me :)

I have a NC10 and yes after installing 10.6.4 I get a KP. After recovery=y I 
can start the machine but after running the fixed NBI and restarting the 
machine I get the same problem. I can only restart with the recovery=y option!

When I look at the machine while starting up I see that the harddrive is not 
doing anything. The machine is waiting for a device to respond. I now got the 
nogo sign through te apple symbol.

I was watching the boot proces with -v and I noticed that the system is waiting 
for the boot volume. Message "Still waiting for the root device"

Update: 

I restarted the NC10 with -v -x and it started itself. But I saw the following 
error message "Bug: launchctl.c:3557 (23930):17: ioctl(s6, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, 
&ifra6) != -1"

Update 2:

While I had started the NC10 with -v -x and the desktop appeared I decided to 
use the fixed netbookinstaller. After completing I restarted the machine and 
now it booted itself. But after starting up I now found that the sound does not 
work anymore. The Speaker sign is light grey. Within the system properties 
there is no sound device anymore. So I restored the AppleHDA from the previous 
NC10 extensions. Installed it with the help of kexhelper and restarted the 
machine. And the sound is back again.

I think there are some bad files in the fixed netbookinstaller app. Please 
replace the nc10 extensions with the previous one!

gerald.lankamp - could you supply this AppleHDA.kext file you're using to get 
sound working? I am not able to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance. My email 
is doggie52@gmail.com.

Having same issue;
  Acer Aspire D150 /w Dell Mini WiFi Adapter.

I got the kernel panic described above; used recovery=y to boot... but there is 
no keyboard or trackpad response, eg, they aren't working.

MY kernel panic said something about an improper CPU ID.

Apple USB Keyboard works ;) Just not the AspireOne D150 built-in keyboard. But, 
I saw my desktop, so I'm not freaking out.

Hi I'm having the same Problem with a Asus 1000HE.

Peripherie
LPC Hub Controller 1 : ASUS 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller
Bluetooth - Broadcom
Atheros AR928X
Elantech smartpad

I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with this Guide.
http://osx86.net/f47/my-asus-eeepc-1000he-and-how-i-installed-t6316/
I used the kext's from this Guide exept using the newest VoodooHDA0.2.2.

Everything worked fine.(I didn't check Bluetooth.)

Then I used the Guide to Update to 10.6.4 too but I used the 10.6.4 ComboUpdate 
File and Netbookinstaller 0.8.4 RC1.
After doing this I received the erorrs you can see in the Picturs attached.
recovery=y works.

The trick didn't help.
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo rm -rf NVD* ATI* GeForce* AppleIntelGMAX3100*
du -hsc .

Got an idea what could Help?

I used the temporary netbookinstaller 10.6.4 fix from meklort.com, everything 
works perfectly except for my keyboard and trackpad, both are unresponsive 
under mac.  (asus eeepc 1005ha, 10.6.4).  Luckily, usb still works!

Woohoo! Removed the ati/geforce and other kexts listed above, came to under 
182mb, ran netbookbootmaker 0.8.4 rc1, then extensions went to 191mb (??), 
reboot and yay, all was okay! The rest of the drivers work, and my keyboard and 
trackpad work! Officially running 10.6.4 now.

FWIW, using the recovery tip and after removing the useless graphics kernel 
extensions, 10.6.4 runs fine on a Samsung NC-10, with all the available updates 
installed.

I'm closing this issue. The version on dropbox had this issue fix. The newly 
released version also has this fixed.
