Hi all,
Im actually a bit new with OSX so maybe there is a easy answer to this but i rather be careful then that my system crashes. I got a Macbook this christmas with the following specs:
Macbook model 1,1
intel core duo 1.83 Ghz.
2GB RAM
Systemversion: Mac OS X 10.5.1 (9B21)
Kernel-version: Darwin 9.1.0
Now i changed the program updates to manual since i had a problem
with these updates. I wanted to update my system and i downloaded a update of 1GB together with the latest itunes. after that i had to reboot but when i did i got a kernel panic, mismatch between kernel and CPU so had to reinstall whole OSX. I dont have a disk so had to let someone else do it. After this im a bit scared to update.Because of the kernel panic error i could not boot anymore and only got a message to hold the power button and restart.
I think the following happend... I installed a update (probably 10.6 not sure) i didnt see what kind of update it was (a bit dumb but ok) but since the system itself said that there was a update available i just installed it. That's where it went wrong. I think my hardware could not take this latest update and thats why i would not boot. Now i have 10.5.1 and if i search for updates i can update to 10.5.8 but should i? dont i get this kernel panic again? is my macBook to old?
Since i dont have a dvd or anything and dont want to go through all this trouble again with reinstalling etc. i really have to be sure that its safe to update.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance,
