Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update - The Official Thread

[LittleFoot]

Hello good people,


I am running 10.6.6 on an i7 920/ga-ex58-ud5/nvidiaGTX260 etc.
It is working great, but software forces me to update to 10.6.8, othervise I'd never touch it.

I have a DSDT and following kexts in my S/E/E:

ALC889a.kext
EvOreboot.kext
fakesmc.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
LegacyHDA.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext
PlatformUUID.kext
RealtekR1000SL.kext

This all boots via Chameleon v2.0.0 RC5

I once knew few things about hackintoshes but compulsively forgot once everything started working. So I am totally rusty.

What is the best/safest way to do the update to 10.6.8?
Kexts?
Should I go for Lion? Maybe a fresh Lion install?



Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Security Update 2012-002 v1.0

I just installed the "security update 2012-002" on my machine (10.6.8 - see specs) and it worked just fine.

Whenever I get to the Installation part, I get a message that says "The installation failed. An unknown installation error occurred."

Is there any known solution for this?
