evdv - I see you started again - I think I see a or the problem.
Hi,
I just zeroed a HD and installed SL - nothing else.
Used update helper and tried the correct combo update of 10.6.8.
Within seconds of install it has an error.
Here is the last few lines from log..
evdv- Ok so looking at this - you have the 10.6.3 installed on your vol and then the Update Helper is installed
And As we see below you start to run the MSXOSXUpdateCombo 10.6.8
Which starts and looks at your Mac Vol "hack2" - check for space - created the temp location (pointer) to extract -
and it tells us that it will install 14 packages -
MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.pkg#SUBaseSystemCombo10.6.8.pkg

This is where it all falls down, we see that the package OSXUpdCombo10.6.8 is untrusted and has an underlying error.
Then it says something about a DOMAIN - Statys Error Domain Code and provides the user id it created initally on install and states it cant be completed w a CSSMERR_TP_CERT_EXPIRED
Then the installer states it failed...and it tells us that it faile and then Displays the Install Failed UI - w and Unknow Installation error on screen.

What this dosent tell us and I wish it would check this first is that Apple has placed a faile experation date in each of the Updates from support - so if you look at File Info you should see an experation date - somewhere around Feb 23 2012 ( I think)
This is a link regarding that error - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10002393/instaling-xcode-3-2-5-on-osx-10-6-8-produces-the-error-the-operation-couldnt
All we need to do is to change the system date to before the experiation date - Say Feb 20 of 2012 and then run the Combo Update - once done - change the date and then rum MULTIBEAST w your optinos needed to restore kexts you need to boot.
Try this and see it it works.
