mrjayviper Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've been using OSX for years (MBPs and now MBPr) but have never noticed these info. Now that I've made a hackintosh on my main desktop and this app being mentioned in discussions, I decided to have a look at it. I suppose this section (i.e. Software => Extensions) lists all kext files that has been loaded? I'm only asking because the kext file I added via KeXT Wizard is not listed. I guess if it's not listed, it means I don't need it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It lists everything in /System/Library/Extensions. Loaded kernel extensions are marked. What was the extension that you installed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjayviper Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 My mistake on the kext file being installed. Seems the installer ignored it. It's not in desktop's S/L/E. Does that mean I don't need the kext on my setup? The kext I manually added to my USB installer is AppleATIATA. Thanks again ps. I looked at System Info => Software => Extensions and it doesn't really tell me which extensions has been loaded. no asterisks or highlighting that'll tell me it's been loaded.

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ATIATA is for old ATI chipset Southbridge, but you didn't say anything about what hardware you have, so I can't answer your question. Yes it does say if a kernel extension is loaded, look harder, I'm on Windows right now so I can't post a screenshot for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Sorry I guess they added this in Mavericks. Run Terminal.app and enter kextstat -k > ~/desktop/kextstat.txt to see which kernel extensions are loaded on your Hack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
