mattyribbo Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 OK, got a working OS X running on my acer aspire 5315, version 10.5.6 Problem is, every time I load a mountable dmg file, it says mounting... the screen scroll dims, then freezes and crashes. Any suggestions why this is happening, or how to fix it? EDIT: OK after looking around, I found http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;#entry1045768 - only thing now is to get a copy of seatbelt.kext - If anyone has a copy they can post without me extracting it that would be helpful.

allenwkk Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I was just advised and solved the problem. You have to find the old 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext and replace it. see my topic "10.5.6 update diskimagemounter problem http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=147551 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyribbo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Do you have a copy of 10.5.5. seatbelt.kext which you could upload. It just makes it a lot easier than downloading pacifist and so on. If not don't worry too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenwkk Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 here is the file seatbelt.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceomni Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 You are going to want to keep a copy of the 10.5.6 seatbelt.kext as a backup. The 10.5.6 version is designed to work with the latest 9.6.0 kernel. The latest Voodoo kernel is at 9.5.0 but they should be releasing a new version in the next month or so. Depending on the kernel you are using you may want this file in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyribbo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I assume the file seatbelt is seatbelt.kext Otherwise, that didn't work. The screen doesn't dim now, but it still dies I will try extracting the copy from my OSX disk via Pacifist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceomni Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I would give it a second go around. Place the seatbelt.kext (that you downloaded) on to your desktop. Open Terminal and type (pressing enter after each line): sudo -s cd /System/Library/ cp -r ~/Desktop/seatbelt.kext Extensions/ chmod -R 755 Extensions/ chown -R root:wheel Extensions/ touch Extensions/ rm -Rf Extensions.mkext diskutil repairpermissions / *Reboot with -v -f Also do me a favor. Open terminal and type: uname -a Post what it says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyribbo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Right-ho. Will try again with the copy of seatbelt.kext from the CD. Yes I did back up the original file, that's not lost (aka basically followed your original post for allenwwk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenwkk Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 sorry that it did not work for you. But just be safe 1. did you do the proper installation.. e.g. touch Extensions, remove cache, and repair permissions. 2. the kernel, the system.kext has to be in pair to ensure diskimagemounter work properly.. so what kernel are you using and what system.kext is used?

mattyribbo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 No, I am extracting it out of iATKOS 5i CD (10.5.5). That has now done the trick, and loading dmg's are working again. No more kernel panics. Thanks alot Also, Picanto:~ mattribbins$ uname -a Darwin Picanto.lan 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Tue Oct 14 07:39:11 IST 2008; Voodoo; Beta 2c :xnu-1228.7.58/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Release 1 available and hey should be releasing a new version with the latest kernel version sometime in the next month or so. Keep a lookout for it. You will need the 10.5.6 seatbelt that you backed out. You should see it announced on the forums and you can check their site at http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlineaddy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Using the attached kext from allenwkk, I now get a "codec overrun" disk image mounting error. Any thoughts? Edit: Bad download, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steka Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Guys, same problem for me, actually. I am running IPC 10.5.6 which originally had a 9.4 Kernel. I then updated to this Kernel: Darwin noname 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Sat Dec 6 19:39:54 IST 2008; Voodoo; Release 1.0 :xnu-1228.7.58/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 I then extracted seatbelt.kext (by just searching it on the disc) from Ideneb 10.5.5 and installed it. I was then able to install adium.dmg, which wouldnt work before. But I still get Kernel panics when I, for instance, try to install JDownloader.dmg. Why could that be ?

osx86ho Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Install the seatbelt kexts off the iPC iso, maybe they are different and will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 lol it tells me there's no seatbelt.kext on the IPC DVD !? I can just see "Install Mac OS X" "DVD Sharing" and "Mach_Kernel" when I browse to the DVD. And when I search for it it tells me theres no seatbelt.kext.

osx86ho Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Do a reintall thing and deselect everything apart from the setabelt fix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 lol it tells me there's no seatbelt.kext on the IPC DVD !? I can just see "Install Mac OS X" "DVD Sharing" and "Mach_Kernel" when I browse to the DVD. And when I search for it it tells me theres no seatbelt.kext. It's in one of the patches!! Just rerun the installer, then unmark everything and only install the seatbelt.kext Also there are 5 other topics on this exact issue also with links to the correct file, but I presume it is easier to start a new thread than to look at old ones!?

steka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I did it with pacifist now. Extractet the seatbelt.kext from the extensions directory. When I rebooted with -v -f my pc stalled. Afterwards the same error when mounting .dmg files appeared. I'll try the reinstall thingy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osx86ho Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Did you follow these steps? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=148566 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yup, I did.. With IPC 10.5.6. it seems I installed Kernel 9.4. I then updated to Kernel 9.5 from Ideneb V1.3 which worked fine for some .dmg files. I also installed seatbelt.kext from that Ideneb release. For some I still keep receiving a Kernel Panic though. Can't install Jdownloader for example. IWork, Itunes, Quicktime install worked fine ever since thoug...even with the old kernel and seatbelt. *Edit* Nope... doesn't work. Maybe I should downgrade to Kernel 9.4 again to install seatbelt 10.5.5 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
