Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2017 if you are using a patched kernel like for chameleon you will need to re patch the new one from the 10.12.4 update. if it's clover your booting from then try repair the disk using disc utility from usb os installer or recovery. Herve has some listed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not using a patched kernel... So repair the disk and try to reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2017 No need of a patched kernel on IvyBridge platforms; you only need the AICPUPM patch. If you use Clover, no particular reason why your E6530 would hang post-update. If you use Enoch, things are a little different since you need to re-patch the vanilla AICPUPM kext installed by the upgrade. Provided you kept NullCPUPM kext in /E/E and run a recent version of Enoch such as r2848, you should be able to boot with option & flag: -f KernelBooter_kexts=Yes. Add -v flag to boot in verbose mode and see where the laptop hangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I had -v in config.sys already... We had a whole slew of text, then the apple logo appears, and the progress bar does not complete... Tried without -v We got an apple logo with progress bar that does not complete... Was going to do a clean install and use system migrator to transfer my information... DOES it make a difference if you use the combo update vs software update... I have used both methods for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2017 No difference. The Combo is just an offline method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
