Hello, I have installed OS X v 10.0.3 with XPF on a Umax S900 225Mhz. I am unable to update with the OS 10.1 upgrade CD. How can I update to OS 10.1 without a full install CD? Clarke Tate |

I believe the only difference between the 10.1 upgrade CD and the 10.1 full install cd is a single file that only the Installer application uses. The boot stuff is all the same, meaning that there should be no difference in getting either one to boot and that if the upgrade fails to boot then so would the full install. I agree with Nick. If all the new files were installed and the 10.1 Installer said it was done and you clicked the Installer's Restart button and the computer restarted but then panicked, then reinstalling BootX and Extensions would be the next step. |

After installing 10.1 whilst booted from 10.0.3 and getting the kernel panic on reboot, try booting into OS9 and simply reinstalling BootX and Extensions using the XPF Advanced menu. You should then find the 10.1 system will boot successfully. If you still get a kernel panic you'll need to note down the screen contents and post them here for analysis. |

I have tried several different approaches. The first was to try and use XPF from within OS 9.2 and install as I did for OS 10.0.3, unfortunately this approach will not work with the 10.1 upgrade CD (I am assuming all the resources are not there). I tried to run the 10.1 upgrade CD from within OS 10.0.3. This works fine until the required restart, resulting in a "panic: just hanging here" code line part way through the restart. I even tried creating a disk image with disk copy as a long shot and install within 10.0.3 but that did not work (OK, I was getting desperate :-D ). I then posted here. Any and all ideas are appreciated! |

There was a way to convert a 10.1 upgrade CD to a full install CD but Apple doesn't want you to know that and I don't know how. What happens when you try the upgrade CD? How far do you get? What errors do you see? |

You mean to say you cannot boot into os9 and then run the install cd from XPF?? |
