jason grace Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Ok i currently have a Dell Optiplex GX280 P4 2.8Ghz with hyperthreading 2GB ram which I've been trying to install 10.5.7 on it using iAtkos V7 because I've read others have had success, however I've managed to install it various times but have not been able to get the sound working or the ethernet and ive searched and tried to get the kext loaded (5751 ethernet, AC97audio) manually and through kexthelper but no dice and im calling it quits. I need help please!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markrtoon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hmm, can you tell me what kind of sound card you have, and kindof the exact ethernet card as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellmantt Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hmm, can you tell me what kind of sound card you have, and kindof the exact ethernet card as well? (5751 ethernet, AC97audio)  Here you go put AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext & AppleAC97Audio.kext in System/Library/Extensions. Put AppleAzaliaAudio.kext in Extra/Extensions..then run "Kext Utility" AppleAC97Audio.kext.zip AppleAzaliaAudio.kext.zip AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip Kext_Utility.zip  You will probably have to put in the "Mac Address" via terminal and to have it applied at startup, search forum (or google) "setmac" .

Markrtoon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lol yea, but couldn't you use KextHelperb7 or my favorite, OSX86 tools to install those, and you may have to repair permission! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellmantt Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lol yea, but couldn't you use KextHelperb7 or my favorite, OSX86 tools to install those, and you may have to repair permission! Â Both buggy IMO and with a bit of research you will probably find that. Â "kext Utility" does all the permissions..rebuilds caches, mkexts etc...

Markrtoon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well, you're right! I could use a spot of help, I've just installed iAtkos S3 V2 on my netbook, Gateway LT2030u with a Broadcom 4315 wifi card, and I for the life of me can't get it to work, btw, do you want me to start a new topic for this?

jason grace Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nope neither is working, weirdest thing in the world...huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellmantt Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nope neither is working, weirdest thing in the world...huh Very strange! I know for a fact that those kexts work in 10.5 Leopard on the GX280 I have seen working with a retail disk install and an IPC 10.5.6 final install. Can not see why it would not work on an iAtkos V7 install.  Try network first. Remove any BCM5751Ethernet.kext from System/Library/Extensions and check Extra/Extensions as well  Then unzip the AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext and "Kext Utility" say to desktop...drag AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kex on to the 'Kext Utility" and it should install and rebuild caches etc automatically.......If I remember a message should pop up saying new network connection found, even without a restart..if not restart and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason grace Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Nope tried it again and still no luck I've been at this for two days and nothing its strange because others have had a flawless install but neither my audio or ethernet are recognized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say it works for others so can only assume your system is corrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason grace Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 thing is i've tried like 4 clean installs, maybe i should use a diff disk instead if iAtkos V7, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Strange, those are the right kexts for the hardware. Do you know if the audio & network works in Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
