Updating to 10.6.8

[Brenden1096]

Hi,

I am trying to update from 10.6 to 10.6.8 on my machine with an i5 sandy bridge but I have ran UpdateHelper and then ran the 10.6.8 combo and each time it has kernel panic'd. I have done this before but I cannot figure out what is causing it, I have never had this issue before in the past. My motherboard is: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68

Did you reboot after UpdateHelper before applying the combo update?

I assume you have a matching DSDT file that is the same for your BIOS that is installed to your MB.

THen you should follow this abbreviated install guide.

Typical installation steps are:
1) iBoot + Disk Utility + install Snow Leopard DVD (perform install via DVD) reboot
2) iBoot + Installed OSX HDD (boot with iBoot and loading OS via newly installed HDD) - get welcome screen
3) Run Update Helper and Reboot?
4) iBoot + Installed OSX HDD, run combo update 10.6.8 , DO NOT reboot
5) Run Multibeast and select option which are required to your board and run System Utilities.
6) Reboot w/out iBoot

Audio/Ethernet/DSDT

DSDT and BIOS firmware must match to the corresponding number.

Of course you may need to use some of the command switches that you used in the past.
