Today Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.8 the 8th (and final?) major update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. To update for any supported CPU, we recommend that you download the entire standalone Combo installer here.
Be sure to back up any important data, and if possible clone your hard drive before applying the update. Testing is underway. Report your results in the forum here.
All updated information will be posted here.
What we know about 10.6.8 so far...
- 10.8.0 Darwin kernel with native Sandy Bridge support. This means that going forward, all Sandy Bridge systems can use default iBoot + MultiBeast method.
- SATA3 6gbps now recognized and functional on Sandy Bridge.
- Includes drivers for Sandy Bridge Intel HD 2000/3000 Integrated Graphics (No Injector Yet)
- Includes drivers for AMD 6xxx Graphics cards
- Identifies and removes Mac Defender malware
- App Store Update to "Get Ready for Lion"
- Still no NVIDIA 4xx Fermi support by default
IMPORTANT: For Socket 1155 Sandy Bridge users, installing the 10.6.8 update is causing crashes, or kernel panics. Use UpdateHelper before applying the update to solve this issue. Details here.
- Graphics - The update will replace your NVIDIA drivers.
- If you're using a NVIDIA 4xx "Fermi" card, you will have to update to the latest official drivers BEFORE rebooting. Download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-macosx-256.02.25f01-driver.html
- If your system is stalling in verbose mode on [ PCI configuration begin ], install the IOPCIFamily FIX available in MultiBeast 3.8.0.
- Audio - The update will replace your AppleHDA.kext.
- If you use ALC8xxHDA for audio, you will have to reinstall AppleHDA Rollback using MultiBeast. If you're using VoodooHDA, you will not need to make any modifications.
- USB - The update will replace your IOUSBFamily.kext.
- To restore full USB functionality on a Non-DSDT or EasyBeast system you may need to install USB Rollback using MultiBeast before reboot. Download MultiBeast.

Cheers tony! Thank you for all the fantastic work from you and MacMan and everybody else who contributed to the community! You guys rock!
thank you tonymacx86
Yay! Now looking forward to seeing Tony's recommendations for new CustoMacs :)
Thank your for the comprehensive info on this update! I still haven't built my Sandy Bridge Hackintosh, but this sure will help me when the time comes.
Update worked just fine but I had to disable sleepenabler.
pmVersion=0
Just updated via software update, got a kernel panic, rebooted (then got an automatic reboot after chimera bootscreen), gave it another tried, worked flawless. Only had to use the AppleHDA rollback to get back the sound.

I attempted this update on two computers... each of them aren't booting at the moment, one is a kosher mac and one is a vanilla hackintoish built at the begging of this year. the hackintoish seems to stop at loading FakeSMCDevice, why do i feel i reinstall coming on for both
Worked for me on older hardware...
Installed the update via software update (forced reboot by update process).
Once in, rolled back to the AppleHDA and USB along w/ 32-bit graphics enabler=no.
Works great.
Q6600 / Older Gigabyte Board (unk model off top of head)
6 GB of Ram
ATI 5790 1GB Video Card
So did this update just automatically update my kexts for my radeon 5870? My displayport is dead after update. I switched over to DL-DVI and it seems to be working great at 2560x1440. I really do like displayport though :(
updated and all okay with:
GA-P55-USB3/i5-750/ATI5770.
Backup AppleHDA kext and copy back to /S/L/E or using rolback to get sound working again.
Will an XFX 6970 Card work now do we think?
I thank Tony for the beautiful work of all community...
No meant to rush, but is there any date to see our customacs based on SB. I need it! :D. Thanks to all this great community/site.
update hosed my system, cannot even use iboot.
intel graphics support update is great news! i've been deliberating for weeks about components for my hackintosh. but now it's final...i'm going with the Intel 2600K + gigabyte Z68X
thanks tonymac!
if you have sleepenabler.kext problem change pmVersion=23
i need some help please!
i was on snow leopard 10.6.7 every thing works fine. After updating i got a kernel panic becose of the sleepEnabler, then i reboot with command "pmVersion=0" then it went to the white screen with the apple logo, but no spinning wheel on the screen, so no loading. I reboot with command "pmVersion=0 -x -v" to show me more infos while booting, as i saw the computer stops at the line: "PCI configuration begin". nothing happends after that. Any idea or advice is very welcome. thanks

Is anyone else having problems getting to the main tonymacx86.com website? I ca't get to it
Looks like tonymacx86 is down for me too.
My ethernet stopped working after the update.
Now it cannot even a link-local IP address, I am wondering if it's related to IONetworkingFamily.kext?

Works all good except the sound had to reinstall with easybeast
Ethernet works fine on my Gigabyte G31M-ES2L board but Wi-Fi doesn't work any more. Using a Broadcom PCI card.
The 10.6.8 update hosed my XFX 5770 video, can't get to desktop anymore. Previously was using 10.6.7 with GraphicsEnabler set to yes with latest Chimera/Multibeast and everything was fine.
I tried disabling GraphicsEnabler, but that just results in a corrupted display. Not sure where to go from here. Anyone else running an XFX 5770 on 10.6.8?
no luck with pmVersion=23, it starts the white screen with apple logo, but no spining wheel, (no booting up) hangs on the white screen with apple logo, strange.

Hosed my system as well ... kernel panic during update!!!! Now nothing works.
Worked okay on a MBP though.
Seems like alot of systems got messed up.
My USB ports are frozen... but the clock still works...
what should I do?
the guy earlier was right about the notice you see when you boot verbose: "PCI configuration begin". The computer apparently was fine but _I_ panicked and rebooted thinking it wasn't going to work as this is a classic sign that the boot has failed. DON'T GIVE UP SO EASILY!!! I tried it again and the phone rang and I noticed it came right up and worked fine after this mysterious message. No more verbose messages appeared but soon the blue screen came up and then my user showed up. It's fine. We have to learn not to panic ourselves as apparently the kernel is fine!!! I have GA-P55A-UDP4 with i7-875 with DSDT.
everything was fine, now with the update i'm stuck at [ pci configuration begin ] and nothing. im running a gigabyte s2v board, i5, and nvidia 8400gs card
10.6.8 update worked on my system, but not without some very basic troubleshooting... 2010 lifehacker build, EasyBeast install. To get it to work I had to re-install MultiBeast after the update. To get full graphics working I had to install the Nvidia update Tony posted in the notes. To get SleepEnabler to work I had to add pmVersion=23 to the kernel flag. All is working great now.
Thanks Tony!
i have the same problem as someone above...
i was on snow leopard 10.6.7 every thing works fine.

Hello,
For owners of XFX 5770, before do the update back up the 10.6.7 drivers ATI5000Controller.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext & ATISupport.kext, install the combo update (DO NOT USE SOFTWARE UPDATE), install the three ATI kexts with Kext Helper, repair permissions & reboot.
Good luck!
stuck on "PCI configuration begin"
Everything works fine with GA-P55A-UD3R F13 ♪
Thank you Tony :-)
For the "PCI configuration begin" people...
This is a crappy fix, but it's better than nothing for now.
add "maxmem=4096" to the boot args. (I'm guessing that most having this issue have 8GB)
It worked for me, at least until I find a real fix.
ALC889a with MacMan's Unified Audio Injector stopped working. Reinstallation doesn't helped :X
Another hosed system. I installed 10.6.8, and it worked fine (except for disabling my audio) then I reinstalled the latest MultiBeast (to get audio as indicated above) and now I can't even get past the Apple boot screen. GA-P55M-UD4 motherboard, Core i5 750.
ALC889a support is now killed for unkown reasons. So no sound for ALC889a users without AppleHDA rollback.
have a quadro 4000 for mac and nvidia has not as yet issued a new driver... any suggestions?
Just updated via software update, during installation got a kernel panic and reboot, now the system does not boot
Ack you guys are scaring the frack outta me lol, I have a gigabyte GA-X58-UD3R V2.0 Bios FF with a GTX 480 and I'll be darned if I update after the pain is the arse time I had getting it to work properly! Only major reason I'd want to update is for the Mac Defender update.
My Config:
i5 2500K
Asus P8H67-M PRO
HD 6950 2G
4 GB RAM Kingston
Snow Leopard 10.6.7 to 10.6.8
At first run of the update I got the kernel panic. Then I restart in safe mode and this time update successfully installed.
But built-in HD3000 graphics still not working and I'm stuck with the native resolution.
Did anyone able to enable QE in the HD3000?
Thanks
thanks tony! i have tested it on my i7 2600 on msi mb and it works! cheers again man!
hello my sistem is slow after update!!extensa 5620.solution??
Forum is still down( Any idea when the problem will be fixed? Can't install Mac Os until i see screenshot with MB options)))
yep looks like this update killed my hackintosh, getting the "pci configuration begin" just like everyone. gtx 470, looks like this thing is only affecting nvidia cards?
Also getting stuck at PCI configuration begin
GA-H55M / i7-870, kernel panic on a dependency in VoodooHDA. Booted in safe mode (-x), removed VoodooHDA kext from S/L/E, ran Multibeast and selected the ALC8xxHDA kext + HDARollback and System Utilities. Everything is now working just fine.
To avoid [PCI Configuration Begin] use this kexts from 10.6.7:

GA-P55A-UD3 with 6870: only had to run AppleHDA audio driver rollback.
this update work for me.
th way i did it is that
i install the update.
then run multi beast to install easybeast.
i then run the nvidia update
and install bridgesupport for my i7
all driver works fine and no problem yet.
Updated from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8, but also [PCI configuration begin].
My config:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2,66GHz
- RAM: 4GB 800MHz DDR2
- Mainboard: Asrock G31M-S R2.0
- GPU: Gainward GTX 460
I think this is caused by the driver for my graphics card, used tonymacx86 Nvidia Update and MultiBeast.
I have a full standard Apple Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I am using the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac with the NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA website, can I use with my system the "tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update 2.0" drivers ?, are they newer, faster or better ?, thanks
@und3rf0rce: how do we install these kexts if we can't boot, not even in safe mode?
Success here. I had to install the HDA rollback, also. My ATI drivers were updated from the latest multibeast provided ATI driver set version 1.6.34.13 (9707) to 1.6.36.10 (9792)
Worthy of mention: I updated using the Mac OS X software update utility
@Anonymous (addressing und3rf0rce) check out this post: http://mymacbookmini.wordpress.com/tag/manually-install-kexts/
You can manually install kexts in single user mode. If you can't get the kext on the disk from single user mode, try using a linux rescue disk. It seems that you should be able to install a kext from linux (although I haven't done it personally), just so long as you clear the kextcache by booting with -f.
I have reverted kexts back from time machine using Single User mode. That has been a big time-saver for me.
@Anonymous also see this wiki page for more info on manually installing kexts http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_.kext_Patching_List#Testing_your_new_.kext
My System crash's on reboot (while installing this update). Now i have a crash on booting.
What can i do?
-x -v PCIRootUID=1
does not work... :-(
So, tried doing a fresh install using the 10.6.8 Combo Update (cause I was finishing building my Mac anyways) and ended up hitting the same issue that alot of people hit with the PCIConfiguration stall. Leaving it up didn't allow it to eventually progress. Eventually just switched back to using 10.6.7 and staying there for now. Here's my set-up:
i7 960, X58A-UD3R 2.0 FE, GTX 480, 12GB RAM
multibeast error after run after 10.6.8 combo update. all seems to work fine but multibeast says at the end intallation "error run again", don't appear lan driver setup window
Thanks @Tim for the suggestions. I booted into Terminal on my Snow Leopard install disk to install the kexts suggested by @und3rf0rce but all it got me is a kernel panic.
I wasn't able to boot in safe more or single user mode, nothing works. Going to revert to the previous kexts and keep working.
Kernel Panic while installation, nothing work, i came back to 10.6.6, happy that way!
@und3rf0rce: how do we install these kexts if we can't boot, not even in safe mode?
you can use MacOS X Retail Disk, to run Terminal, and copy this kexts from usb flash to S/L/E. then boot with -f key in chameleon
Turns out und3rf0rce's suggestion worked. I hadn't correctly copied the kexts; I backed up these kexts in my /System/Library/Extensions folder (changing the extensions of AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext to .bak) but needed to create *new* AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext folders, then used "cp -r (source) (dest)" to copy the kext folders.
Now to get graphics working
Using VirtualBox 4.0.8 w/an i5-2500k (asus p8p67), OSX 64bit, setup with iboot no efi, applied 10.6.8, restart with EFI and no iboot, SUCCESS! booted all the way into the OS no problems! "About this Mac" works...not sure about anything else, still testing...

I have a NVidia GTS 450 Card and 10.6.5. I tried to use "tonymacx nvidia update and failed with 10.6.7(using FULL HD(1080p), so I reinstalled the whole new Mac OS X (with iBoot and Multi Beast) and upgraded to 10.6.5.(using 1080p)
SO MY QUESTION IS CAN I UPGRADE TO 10.6.8??
PS sorry for my ugly English( I'm a Korean...ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹)

I am using an HP dv3-2130ef 64 bits. Everything works except integrated wifi (Intel Wifi 5100 agn) and hibernation.
Updated successfully, but networking is broken. Both WiFi and LAN doesn't work, also hangs for a while before login (although both devices are working perfectly on hardware level). Obviously a software bug. Seems like Apple has done some "improvements"
The real fix is to use
SMboardproduct
Mac-F4208CC8
in SMBIOS.plist plus newer Chameleon version that is able to load SMboardproduct key correctly. For me it was latest Chameleon trunk (1052).
Are this customacs posted by jpa the ones that were going to be posted by tonymac? Will tonymac release another cusomacs? I would like to thank jpa for its infinite work, but, prefer to wait for tonymac suggestions if he will release diferent configurations.
Thanks.
To All of you with the stuck on "PCI configuration begin" problem as I was here is my success story.
After using apple update to update to 10.6.8 my build would freeze at the grey apple screen with -x or not it did not matter. Verbose revealed that the boot hung on "PCI configuration begin". Here is my fix:
I opened my computer, removed my Geforce210 and hooked my monitor up via VGA to my onboard video.
Reboot
Fail
Related to VoodooHDA....
Reboot
Safe mode (-x)
Run newest multibeast 3.7.3 (make sure to check VoodoHDA in audio section as well)
Open Disk Utility
Repair Permissions
Shutdown
Reinstall nVidia card and reconnect via DVI
boot
Back to normal, QE/CI etc everything back to normal 10.6.8

10.6.8 installed like a charm... did not need to overwrite any of my kexts,,, only removed AppleHDA.kext as Voodoo is the only kext that plays nice with my sound card. All works fine but no SleepEnabler. None of the SleepEnablers our there have ever worked with my set up so I simply don't use one, Internet/Ethernet, Video, USB, Sound... all fine
Simply downloaded and installed the combo update... did not reboot... reinstalled chameleon.. did not log off,,, ran kext utility on both The Sys/Lib/ Extensions and Extra/Extensions folders,,, rebooted and all is well.
The only thing though that I seem to have an issue with now though is that there is no progress wheel at all, even in safe mode... but the systems boots fine. Anyone else had this?

Hi folks,
Can i use this update to do a full clean install?
Hello,
10.6.7 worked flawlessly so far (including sleep). However, after updating via combo update to 10.6.8 the system does not recognize by graphic card anymore (Nvidia 9500 GT). Any ideas? Already added EFI string, did not help.
On 10.6.7, I get full resolution 1920x1080 QE etc. I'm using a good old 945 gcmx-s2 motherboard ,4G memory, Intel dual core
Thanks lot.

try install the tonymac nvidia update.
it works for me!
Hey, Thanks a lot, guys,

Can' install the tonymac nvidia update because I can't log in anymore after the update (get a black screen), VNC does work either…
will try the following:
start with 10.6.7
tonymac nvidia (old version, newone needs 10.6.8)
efi string in comp.apple.boot.plist
Multibeast
reboot
update 10.6.8
...
Also a PCI configuration begin -problem. But now I can't even boot to SL install disk with iBoot (snow, legacy) anymore? It only goes to singe user mode, but I cant mount anything from CD (unable to use the Diskmanagement framework).
The hd is stuck in pci configuration also with -s. Someone bypassed the PCI conf. with switching to integrated graphics, but I dont have one. Is this a possible solution?
Worked great for me. I installed the delta update, then installed Easybeast, IOUSB Rollback and the new nVidia Graphics drivers.
I'm on a relatively old-ish setup:
Asus P5KPL/1600
nVidia 9800GT
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (3GHZ)
Ok, now I managed to boot with an old iBoot to an old USB stick with SL. Combo updated to 10.6.7 and worked like a charm. Then, when updating to 10.6.8 and tried to run multibeast, it crashed at the end, and I ended up with same PCI configuration enabled freeze.

That fixed my graphics problems right up, even after I installed the update! Now, if they would find a way to get my wireless working... xP
Hi, If you want to use the 10.6.8 applehda for (889a) you can search google for ALC885_889a_LION it leads to another forum and read the included text file instructions. It work for me. I have legacy enabler in e/e and dsdt edits. No rollback need but the same process will need to be repeated if hda is updated.
in the middle of updating i got a KPanic... then panic'd one more time before it was able to fully boot again. then I installed the update, successful this time. Opened up multibeast and then I lost my display n everything....forced to reboot, thankfully comp still worked/booted without multibeast yet... but got no USB support anymore obviously,,,,
.... soooo luckily I had my iphone and mobile mouse app and my pci wifi card (airport) still worked. I used iphone as a mouse to install easybeast... immediately after install my USB works :D
My in-board audio goes all the way up without crackling now, woohoo! :)
after 15-20 minutes of scared sweating and a nifty iphone app for workaround, everything works fine now, if not better :D
Thanks, Tone!
GA-EP45-UD3r Core 2 Quad. Everything works except my Nvidia 9600GT 1GB card. Have tried the TonyMac Installer that worked for others to no avail. Any ideas out there. I am thinking of just buying the cheapest possible ATI Card, to keep the system going.
Installed without checking here first :( doh!
Afterwards USB didn't work.
Took out hard drive and connected it via sata/usb to my mac mini.
Ran Multibeast and ran USB and audio rollback.
Now it works fine except for one thing: my CD/DVD drive is no longer detected. Any ideas on how to fix that?
installed 10.6.8 on my hackintosh. And got the dreaded freeze "PCI configuration begin" on a verbose boot. I had a fully functional 10.6.7 running using iBoot+vanila install+multibeast.
My configuration is Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3 MB with 8 gb ram with a GeForce 9500 GT video card.
I have tried a clean install and combo update to 10.6.8 + multibeast to no luck.
Any insight/fix is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Just updated smoothly with no problems or KP, I ran combo updater, than Multibeast installing only System Utilities, AC889 kext, and Apple HDA Audio Rollback. Installion of Multibeast failed the first time, but after rebooting and running multibeast again it was successful. Previously installed as User DSDT with 64 bit graphics and kernel.

Is there any way to just downgrade to 10.6.7?
I installed 10.6.8 and my USB didn't work anymore. Ran my HD as an external and ran multibeast to change the usb and audio kexts.
Now it's not picking up my DVD drive nor my Firewire 800 card, both of which worked flawlessly prior to this stupid upgrade.

Fix for PCI Configuration Begin freeze:
It is all fixed now. I am up and running on 10.6.8 on my GA-H55M-USB3 motherboard with GeForce 9500GT graphics Card. This is how I got it working.
Followed the advice in Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update - The Official Thread on page 6 as recommended by bmas. The link http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22882&start=50
******Important******
Before attempting to install 10.6.8 copy
1. /S/L/E/AppleACPiPlatform.Kext
2. /S/L/E/IOPCIFamily.Kext
from your working 10.6.7 Snow Leopard to a safe directory.
Then
1. download the 10.6.8 update combo bundle
2. Get Multibeast 3.7.3 if you don't already have it
3. Install the update but do not reboot
4. one the install is done fire up Multi Beast
5. install Kext Helper B7 from OSx86 software
6. launch kext helper b7
7. drag the previously backed up AppleACPIPlatform.Kext and IOPCIFamily.Kext into the kext helper b7 tool and instll it.
In my case the AppleACPIPlatform.kext had not been updated by 10.6.8. Not sure if this file is required. I put back both kext files anyway.
8. fired up multi beast and installed Audio-->Realtek ALC8xx --> ALC8XXHDA
--> AppleHDA Rollback
-->NonDSDT HDEnabler-->ALC889
also installed Realtek Gigabit Ethernet 2.0.6
and USB 3.0 from the misc section
9. once done then hit the reboot from the OSX updater window.
Then the system booted up fine with no issues have audio/network/graphics.
Thanks for all the help.
I install what combo 10.6.8 update, before finishing the installation appears kernel panic, and there when I restart the computer it goes, but I can not access the finder.
MSI P67A GD55
Corsair 8GB
ATI HD 5670
i have a question, my video card is a GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card, and before i bought it i went on apple's website and checked out what kind of video card does the mac pro use, now that i have bought it will the update to 10.6.8 work with my video card by the way it's a ATI
Upgraded to 10.6.8 no problem as long as you install the 2 rollbacks BEFORE you restart. Only thing that isn't working is the little grey swirly on the grey apple start up screen. It disappeared, but I still booted fine.
Success! with Fix for PCI Configuration as described above. Now full operational again, Nvida 9500 GT. Thanks for your help.
Do you install the two rollbacks while mounted on DSDT or just run multibeast only?
I'm on DSDT, however I installed the HDA rollback + HDEnabler for ACL888 + did the trick with AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily.
My fix for not being able to boot (stuck at apple logo during boot).
I noticed that booting with the -v flag (verbose) works. At first it seems booting freezes at 'PCI Configuration Begin', but after about 15 seconds or so, it will continue booting. So i added:
Kernel Flags
-v
In the "com.apple.Boot.plist", so now it will allways boot in verbose mode.
In order to get here i had to swap videocards (took out my Nvidia gtx285 and put in an old ati) and boot using -x -v (verbose safe boot). Install the nvidia update (the one from the nvidia website). Reboot and run the AppleHDA Rollback with multibeast. Reboot again. From this point on only booting in verbose mode works. So for that i used the fix as i described above.
I hope this will help someone.
At the forum, I already wrote that the message "PCI configuration begin" caused by an error in the file DSDT.aml. In the section Device (PCI0) must remove the line: "Name (_ADR, Zero)" and corrected following the first in: "Name (_UID, Zero)". This will be enough so that the system worked, as expected.
I did a new re-install of my system, with the 10.6.8 upgrade, the factory nvidia drivers and the AppleHDA roolback. all works sort-of fine on 32 bit - but when trying to boot in 64 bit, it hangs at the "PCI configuration begin" message. (it stays there for a number of seconds in 32 bit mode as well, but in 64 bit, it just never moves on)
what could be 64 bit specific that makes the boot process stop there?
Installed with no trouble at all, no kernel panics, no PCI config issues. I'm using an older system though:
ASUS P5B
Intel Core2Duo 3.0 GHZ (E6850 I beieve)
4 GB RAM
GT220 1GB video card
First I downloaded and burned iBoot to ensure that it would work, and it did before and after I updated. I still had my IDE drive and two other SATA Drives installed but 10.6.7 and Windows XP are on a Kingston 64 GB SSD.
I had d/l the combo update earlier to a secondary internal drive. I ran the update, restarted, closed my eyes, and saw the Mac booted normally and showed the update. I was already using the Voodoo for audio and the USB Rollback, so maybe that's what kept it going.
So what else can I try to get the sound working? Multibeast roll back and attempting to restore from 10.6.7 /s/e/l did not work. Any help is much appreciated
Thanks Anonymous, putting the kexts in a safe place and reinstall with
kext helper saved me, I was getting the pci kernel panic also. Asus

Everything went fine here. Just needed the AppleHDA Rollback to get the sound working again.

After upgrading from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 everything works fine..
I deleted my Extra folder, opened the 10.6.8 Combo Update and opened Mulitbeast.
After installing the Combo Update and not rebooting. I ran multibeast and selected the the same options as before incl. VoodooHDA for audio but this time i also included the IOUSBFamily Rollback otherwise my USB devices would not work.
After rebooting, i only had to reinstall my Networking with a Marvel Yukon 88E805 fixed kext and now all good as before.
Hi all, I have 10.6.8 fully working except for the app store. When i log in i get this message"No GUID Available". If I boot into 10.6.7 on the same drive, different partition app store works fine. Any ideas?
Just updated my 10.6.7 Mac OSX Server build to the 10.6.8 update, remotely about 3,400miles away via Screen Share! Hazzah!
I did the safe update, the NVidia fix (just in case), updated and ran MultiBeast 3.7.3 with DSTS patching.

Thanks and credits goto @und3rf0rce for posting the solution to PCI Configuration for me with Gigabyte GA H55M S2V board.
Downloaded combo 10.6.8, MultiBeast 3.1, KextBeast and kexts from und3rf0rce.
Run MultiBeast installer but leave on first screen as per TonyMac and MacMan instructions.
Run combo update and install but don't restart.
Run KextBeast with kexts from und3rf0rce on desktop.
(Installer may crash after this - no worries)
Run MultiBeast - check System Utilities and IOUSBrollback and reboot.
Many thanks
hi.. i update to 10.6.8 and after restart i got the black scree .....

please help.. i've got a lot of file on my screen..
Hi All.
Thanks Tony and Macman. After several trials to update to 10.6.8, I finally succeeded.
I backed up all my stuff on another 1TB HDD using time machine. Cleaned up my install HDD.
Used iBoot 3.0.3 followed the 10.6.8 iBoot-Multibeast steps.
For multibeast I used the latest one 3.7.
Followed the DSDT install for Mac Pro 2010 since my system has same configs
Only difference used , realtek for ethernet and 64 bit apple enable, in addition to the audio and USB recommendation for 10.6.8.
Rebooted, got panic, nVidia video card not found. I dont use nvidia
Restarted used verbose- it showed the same issue and booted to my desktop.
Under apps I clicked on kext utility. It fixed the isuue!
My computer is fully functional now. Boots no problem.
The wheel on apple logo boot up screen rotates unlike some postings posted earlier.
Only issue my eject button on my apple keyboard is not working. Other shortcut keys are fully functional. I probably need to unplug it and or switch usb ports.
I just need to plug in my time machine HDD and restore my files and folders.
Hope this posting helps these forum.

Successful update to 10.6.8 for me but not after some trouble. Here is my experience of updating without doing PCI Configuration Fix.
I reinstalled Snow Leopard to the Retail DVD of 10.6.3. I came back 30 minutes later and it had restarted and worked fine with all my previous kexts (NV Enabler) but no audio. No problem because I had my USB and ethernet to fix the previous damage.
I used the PCI Configuration Fix and restarted and now I have 10.6.8 working perfectly. Thanks to all those above my comment who helped!!
Firstly, I would really like express my appreciation for the efforts that have gone into the support for this community – I have gone through mountains of information from users saying that OSX cannot be installed on M/B to finally having a 99% fully functioning Hackintosh …So for other users giving it a go, don’t give up!
…I do also come seeking advice, I cannot seem to get 10.6.8 to enable 64bit mode, after checking in terminal, i get “EFI32″ …Could anybody advise what may be preventing me to fully enable 64bit?
I used iBoot to install retail 10.6.3, ran combo update 10.6.8, installed Kext’s with Kextbeast. I just cant find any possible solutions to try???
Asus P5Q Pro Turbo
Intel C2d-E8400
nvidia GTS250
4GB Corsair Dominator 8500-1066Mhz
Doesn't work for me.
Earlier I have 10.6.3 with everything works including my 8400GS.
After 10.6.8, I have nolonger QE/CI support. All kexts loaded (Nvenabler64, NVDREsman, NVDANV50Hal) but no Qe/Ci. NVRAM size is identified correctly.
So, No Video, No translucent bars, No frontrow.
Sound is working fine after DSDT and rolling back the HDAEnabler.
Its been weeks trying to find out the solution.

Does not work for me. Please help!! I have 10.6.3 installed from Retail DVD. Then i so update Combo 10.6.8, install Multibeast then Reboot and after i reboot i come to the white screen that stays there forever. :(. Please suggest.
Even after removing ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext I still get a kernel panic *during* the upgrade from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 and end up with a non-booting system. My specs:
ASUS P8P67 Motherboard
i5 2500K
8 gig ram
XFX Branded 6870 graphics card
Can anyone offer any advice?
BTW, I've got the gfx card working nicely at full resolution with DVD Player and geek bench able to run without crashing so I'm pretty happy with it anyway. I had to use Andy's CD to get this far though.
Finally up and running after alot of hard work! I have a ga-h55m-usb3 board with an i7-870. My only problem now is that when the computer wakes from sleep it loses its internet, and sometimes when I boot I have no usb ports, have to restart and then they come back. Any suggestions anyone?
@ASUS P8P67
After using the UpdateHelper you have to reboot. That worked for me.
So I finally, after cloning my HDD, plucked up enough courage to install the update to 10.6.8. Never really am quite confident about these things after the ordeal of getting OSX to run. But here's what happened:
Installed the combo update and rebooted fine. No audio though. Ran multibeast and checked a few selections including the apple audio rollback, USB3.0, Apple 64bit load screen and one or two others.
So glad I cloned my HDD as now the thing won't boot up. It goes black, or more like the screen goes to sleep, after the Chameleon boot screen. Managed to get it to the Apple logo screen once with iBoot CD, but it always freezes.
Attempting to restore from image now, but as it's on an External HDD it's taking forever just to imagescan. Did attempt to restore from Time Machine but encountered the problem of being unable to restore as it's from a '...different version of mac...'
Will be formatting the Time Machine disc and use a different backup tool in future.
Really like using OSX but this kind of thing is so frustrating.
No idea what the problem was.
Am at work right now, but the specs of the machine I can remember are:
Intel Core i7 960/970(?)
Gigabyte X58-UD3R
6gb Memory
Graphics... unsure...
Will update more once I get it working.
h55-UD2H gigabyte nvidia 9800 1G 4G core i5 660, thanks for all the effort, updated to 10.6.8 with no audio or video kext, I put the kext in multibeast 3.7 and for the video I deleted the ati extension, repaired permissions, all ok . Except for the app store "could not verify your computer" does not allow me to enter password and download. I was the same with Team viewer, according to experts not work on my hackintosh because I have an original mac, tonymac how we can solve these problems. Thank you. Muchas Gracias a todos.
I ran the UpdateHelper and upgraded to 10.6.8 today and now I'm running in to the "Could not verify your device or computer" message. So now I can't buy Lion...
Is there a solution for this?
Everything was working with 10.6.7. Upgraded to 10.6.8 and lost Wi-fi. Searched the web and found that this is not uncommon, but the solutions that were provided didn't help either. So, I cannot upgrade to Lion until this is resolved.
Has anyone found a definitive Wifi solution?

Tried to upgrade to 10.6.8 from 10.6.4 and got a KP at the white Apple loading screen, and iBoot does the same thing off the bat. Not sure what to do here, and I don't really want to wipe it and do a clean install. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks

Please, any person with the dp43tf mobo can give me any help? I can't make the usb ports besides the ones with the keyboard and mouse (I already try a lot of kexts for IOUSBfamily)and the audio is off after the 10.6.8. Links will be appreciated
Everything else works fine. including a asus gtx 460 video card.
Thanks in advance
@FernandoCG -
'Family' KEXTs generally contain classes that are sub-classed, in other words they are not really drivers and have dependencies. Have you placed your KEXT in the correct location?
- Install to: /Extra/Extensions folder, and in /S/L/E IOUSBFamily.kext & IOPCIFamily.kext should also remain the originals??
If you wish to persist with the KEXTs, you can try this:
http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1163
and the USB Fix from:
http://www.kexts.com/view/1010-usb_fix.html
Are you using a DSDT file with your build? ...If you are having no luck with kexts, I suggest trying a DSDT file. If you have already, have you tried patching it?
There is a DSDT patch tool that Will solve some USB problems with broken USB EHCI, and USB UHCI. Please do some reading on the following pages and I hope you solve your problem!
Use MaLd0n's DSDT Auto-Patcher to generate your DSDT:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=235523%20-%20auto%20patcher
Insert hacks and apply USB fixes to your DSDT with the tool here:
http://osx86.co/f36/evosx86-dsdtfixer-t6855/
Place your DSDT.aml in /Extra/Extensions folder of your install. Run User DSDT/System Utilities in MultiBeast.
Hopefully everything is now working :D
@masterfu86
I also have a GeForce GTS 250 1GB, it has caused me a few issues, depending on the method of installation I have tested with. Are you able to provide ANY more information than "Tried to upgrade to 10.6.8 from 10.6.4 and got a KP"??
Boot your machine in verbose mode (-v) and check to see where it is panicking... Furthermore, did you roll back any KEXTs, install any KEXTs, rebuild mkext and cache before rebooting after the update to .8, if so did it complete successfully, did you try installing another bootloader along with the System Utilities?.....
Hello again, VoodooHDA.pkg work good with my DP43tf mobo. Still no solution for the usb ports.
I try the rollback with multibeast. Adding the USB fix in the com.apple.boot.plist. Turning USB legacy of in the BIOS. Using the same kext used in the 10.6.6 version(extracted from time machine drive). So far the best I can get is mouse y keyboard to work....
Help please.
-Tony or MacMan
I am trying a clean install of Snow Leo using iBoot + Multibeast. In following the install instructions I run the 10.6.8 update prior to installing multibeast. The guide says not to restart after update. However, I am forced to restart. A grey box appears telling me to hold down power button to restart. Mouse and keyboard are dead.
What is my next Move?
@Cain, I'm Fernando CG. You are awesome, man. I did the thing with the DSDT patch and fix that you say and the USB and everything else works great. Thanks, again. This community is great.
I am running OS X 10.6.8 and every now and then my screen locks up and goes to a blue screen for a few seconds and then returns to the previous screen. There doesn't seem to be any harm but I purchased a Mac so as to rid myself of the annoying problems with a PC. This is a random occurrence. any suggestions??????

Hi,
I have D830, and a working SL 10.6.7 all my apps are working except sometimes the system slows down shutdown/sleep does not work.
I installed 10.6.8 and before installing I took the backup of the required older kexts after installing without reboot i replaced the backup kext in respective folders.
rebooted the system only to find that it doesn't work !....my system does not hang at [PCI configuration... but after that it does till disk check using fsck etc... and thats where it gets stuck...no errors or messages cannot use the keyboard. even tried -s option but again I see the prompt but keyboard doesn't work.
I had to restore 10.6.7 from the backup.
please let me know where did I go wrong. I wanted to prepare my system for lion (and hope sleep / shutdown will work)
thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm trying to update a fresh 10.6.0 install to 10.6.8, but just about everything I tried results in a reboot loop after I restart (without the updatertool, it panics right on the installer)
Tried the method where we install from a second volume but the installer won't let me pick a volume other than the boot one to install..
The system is an i7 2600 sandy bridge + intel dh67cl with gf 460 (it's unplugged now), 8gb mem

try boot args, -v -f -F pmVersion=0. it worked for me but it takes a long while at the blue screen right before you see the cursor and then finder loads.
Hey everyone. I updated to 10.6.8 and around 90% i had a kernel panic. I reboot and now I get the PCI Configuration Begin message. I have tried -x, -f, single-user, etc, but the same thing. I also booted from the retail disc to use terminal and replaced the 2 kexts everyone keeps talking about (IOPCIFamily and AppleACPIPlatform), but still no luck. I have seen it said that you have to use kext wizard to replace those kexts, and I have also seen where people say to use MultiBeast to fix it. My question is, if I can't boot into the os, how can i run those apps?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Hi guys...after many months I finally update to 10.6.8...but I read this guide right now...so I rebooted BEFORE install NVidia Official Drivers...I use a DELL XPS 15 with Nvidia 435M and now I'm stock on 1024x768 screen resolution. If I try to install Nvidia Official Drivers the installer says "System not supported"...is there something I can do? Thank you all!
Hmm - I'm a long term Mac owner now trying to build a Hacky, so i'm a bit new to all this.
I've assembled An Intel i7 Machine using an Intel DQ67SW motherboard.
The DQ67 features SandyBridge.
I've used iBoot to install OSX10.6.3 Retail Which seems to be working (with the expected pile of drivers missing).
Now I'm trying to install the 10.6.8 Updater d/l ed from apple.
I Install Update Helper first, but still get a KP just before the Update Installer finishes :-(
Any ideas?
I'm now going to try updating 10.6.3 -> ..4, -> ..5 ect, and see how far i get.
Also, the mother board has built-in firewire, does anyone know to to get it going, or should i just buy a PCI card?
For me, it definitely boots correctly, but the no matter what I try, what flags I do, I cannot get the native resolution.
i have evga geforce gts 450 graphic card. after i installed the 10.6.8 and try to installed the nvidia driver form the link givin above it say something about this application can not install on this device. and i was able to install cuda driver and tonynvidiaupdate
I use a Gigabyte EP-45-UD3P motherboead with a Intel e7400 core 2 duo and MSI nvidia geforce 8400 GS with genuine snow Dvd installation and pc EFI bootloader (think is was 10.1) can do all updates without probs... started 2 years ago with it... since then no crashes, lock ups or other problems and EVERYTHING works!
Yup, I had the "PCI hang" problem when updating.
Multibeast 3.9 with the latest DSDTxxx.aml file fixed it.
I think I still have a realtek update issue (my ethernet is not working).
I'll report again.

I was having the PCI configuration begins problem and couldn't get around it. Others have said it's a problem with the video card. I noticed my MB has a built in video so removed my video card and plugged the monitor into the built in video and it at least came up with the basics so I can run things like Multi-Beast to fix the problem. If you have a built in video give it a try. May not work the very first time but give a second try. Just normal start up. No -v -s.
Hello everybody,
I need help with my Lenovo B570 laptop(Intel i3 2310m, HD 3000 graphics, 6GB DDR3, 320GB SATA2, Realtek HD audio) I've installed 10.6.8 update with update helper(I've tried without update helper but i got kernel panic), I've used multibeast with easybeast method, but at restart i get nothing except a blank gray screen. I've tried it a lot of times, even reinstalled SL 8 times.
Hi,
After updating I have [ PCI configuration begin ]. According to this instruction I should install the IOPCIFamily FIX available in MultiBeast 3.8.0. But how to run MultiBeast when I can't log into OS?
Hi Tony - and anyone else who can help.
I have a Powerbook Pro 15", which now has the Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have a frustrating issue with a USB power drain message which consistently and insistently pops up. I have NO USB devices attached, and someone told me this was a software issue with a patch available. I cannot find it. Does anyone know anything about this? The error message says:
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your devices has been disabled". I'm not aware of doing anything wrong to my mac.
Any ideas?
Can anyone help I have installed 10.6.8 using Iboot and MAC DVD but i cannot view youtube videos or open pictures in preview. My graphics card is Nvidia 9800 GT I have used aqua mac Nvidia kexts and card works fine. Any ideas why preview and youtube dont work ?
THANKS TONY !!!!!

Need some help here. I think my computer went to Auto Update my 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. Now everything has gone haywire and nothing works. I can't even access the Internet through an ethernet cable. Another thing that I have found to not work is the sound. I am however, able to boot up and get into the OS.
is it possible to recover an OSX86 install if one updated with the official Software Update ? I did that beautiful thing, and now i cannot boot to osx, and i don't think booting to a terminal root sessions works anymore :\
If it is possible to recover this, I'd like to know what are the steps, I'm already downloading "legacy kernel", and other extensions that get deleted after updating, but I don't know how to use them without booting to osx(gui mode anw)..
thanks in advance
Anyway, i tried updating(i didn't really need it :'( ) because Java wasn't working, and i don't really know if it will after updating to 10.6.8
Hi there,
everything worked great apart from USB. I have tried the fix with multibeast and replacing kexts but it does not seem to work.
Having said this, some USB drives are being recognised (seem to be any under or 1GB). My mouse also freezes for a few seconds after any USB drive is plugged in, so it does register it.
Thanks,
Sam
Hola tony, muchas gracias, saludos desde Colombia, te cuento que he instalado snow leopar gracias al IBoot, y luego instale el Multibeast, pero después de unos dias el equipo cuando lo utiliza en video se me apaga sin ningún aviso; ademas el mause se me bloquea cuando apago la luz de la sala, es curioso, Te cuendo que tengo una placa msi H55m-E33, intel i5 650, 8 gb ram, y video amd Randeon HD 6870, siento que anda a la perfeccion, quice actualizar el chame.. al 1.70 y no se pudo o hice algo mal y ahora me toca arrancar desde el IBOOT, pero lo demas todo bien. muchas gracias
