testerooni Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hey guys, I've got a Dell Vostro 200 desktop that has a working Win7 partition. I've successfully installed OSX 10.6.6 with iATKOS S3 V2 + updates via Apple to a second partition. I used the IntelE1000e.kext to get my onboard ethernet port working. Everything was working great - I rebooted several times and had internet each time. So I did the fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 to make the Win 7 partition primary/did startup repair in Win 7/ installed and ran EasyBCD and now can successfully dual boot. However, when I go to the OSX partition, I can't get internet. OSX reports that it see the ethernet card, but the cable's unplugged (it's not) and if I switch to WIN7 the internet is fine. From what I gather, windows is locking the ethernet card pre-boot (since EasyBCD uses windows boot manager) and making it so the OSX partition can't use the locked ethernet card. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
