Mac not booting with new image – com.apple.driver.InternalModemSupport error

[typofonic]

Hi,

I’m trying to build an image with SL 10.6.2, using the newest r258 build. It builds succesfully without any error messages but upon boot I get this (if started in verbose mode):

Warning – com.apple.driver.InternalModemSupport declares no kernel dependencies; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.

There it just hangs…Anybody knows why this could be happening?

I’m building from a MBP with 10.6.2.

Ok, after having removed most of the packages (with only my BaseUpdates left, a createUser.pkg, a Postflight Script.pkg, User Template.pkg and a package with some installed to /Library) I now get:

getWOW_PARAMETERS: Can’t set wow params. Wow is not supported.

Anybody has experienced this before?

When building a new user with createUser I assume that it uses the System/User Template/ directory. Could the problem be the package with the User Template, or doesn’t this error msg. have anything to do with that?

I don’t know what is stopping your boot, but there are a few things:

1) The warning about the modem drivers is normal. I think that all boots get that because the kext that drives modems does not do one thing that it is supposed to do. It probably has not been changed because it is not actually hurting anything, and no-one wants to go through making the change then doing all the work to test to make sure the change does not cause other problems.

2) A trivial googling for the phrase “getWOW_PARAMETERS: Can’t set wow params. Wow is not supported.” tells me that it is in the Airport drivers. But in the reported cases this does not seem to be a fatal error. My guess is that this is not the cause.

3) With a vanilla setup only (so 10.6_vanilla) do you have problems? If not then you can build up from there to find the problem.

4) What is your Install image from? Is it a retail disc? Or is it a grey disc that came with a computer?

Thanks for your reply! It is a retail disk. I tried what you suggested with a vanilla setup. There problem was that I accidently applied a security update meant for Leopard on SL 10.6.2 – I thought I had updated all my BaseUpdates – guess not. However after checking with the vanilla catalog I found the correct Security Update and fixed it!

Thanks for your help. 😀
