Mac OS X 10.6.6 Update - The Official Thread

[Burninator]

My wife went ahead and updated this morning without asking me and now when it told her to reboot it gets to the apple logo and just sits there. I built this machine about a year ago and have done none of the updates and everything worked fine. My question is do I need to completely redo the whole thing or is there some things I can try to fix it.

I7 processor and a p55m-ud2 motherboard.
Thanks

Use iBoot to boot, then install your Multibeast configuration again.

No joy here yet. I am not sure what this means: "Make sure you have a Mac Pro System Definition installed from MultiBeast, or it will not let you install. "

I selected MacPro 3,1 in Multibeast install and System Profile shows it as a MacPro 3 now, memory and CPU correct, it recognizes my nVidia 450 but, I am stuck at 1250x800 and no other options - I can't reinstall the nVidia drivers (fermi) - either Tonymac supplied or nVidia supplied, it tells me I can't install them to this version of the OS, so I guess I will limp along until the updated nVidia installer is available.

Any suggestions on how to use the old installer?

mount fermi drivers DMG file, right click on PKG > open package content, look at subfolders, there are three pkg files (if I remember correctlly: graphic driver, display driver and open gl driver) install all three PKGs and restart. At least it worked for me

P.S.: On my install over Software update was everything ok, I just had to reinstall fermi drivers like I wrote above. I will try app store tomorrow and report here

bye

I used 1st version of fermi drivers. I didn't even known that there's a version 5
Are there any improvements in performance?

No issues with my update.

Is this site terribly slow today for anyone else ... or is it just me?

Good call.

Also, to note on your earlier comment, only the combo update will replace the AppleHDA, not the update in software update going from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6.

Updated like a charm, and now I am able to go even more bananas with the apps.

Hi,

I updated both of my systems using Software Update. Everything I've tested so far works including audio and USB.

Ran System update..
When asked to reboot, said Yes.

Strangely it went to a black screen and the only thing that displayed was a flickering underscore. Gave the machine a cold boot and booted successfully.

Audio/USB seems to be fine.

The only thing i'm noticing is that the Chrome or Safari browser seems to be lagging.
Any ideas here?

Thanks.

Is it only lagging on this website? That's a problem with this site that has been recognized.
