Networking: was working in 10.4.7 and before.

In 10.4.8 with semthex:

I have two network cards, one integrated Intel - works (cable modem).

One PCI card 3Com - doesnt work anymore.

I tried replacing IONetworkingFamily.text, but I get a kernel panic.

I extracted the Apple3Com kext inside the IO* and tried loading it on its own, no luck.

I put in Device Id / Vendor Id Info in IONet*.kext in the Apple3com*.kext, and no luck....

Any1 lucky?

Thanx

 

Edit: This is now fixed with advice of a kind dude in irc: Use IONetworkingFamily.text from version 10.4.3, add Device Id / Vendor Id to Apple3com kext in Plugins of IONetworkingFamily.text.

Now PCI NIC is recognised and loaded :)

. Never try to use onboard LAN, i think it's Yukon. other than that everything works.

 

Onboard lan on the 915gux is supported grab the network drivers from a JaS 10.4.3 disk and it should work. i should know i have one. everything supported. working on sound in and out (out works but not in).

 

and your fsb speed setting should be 133

thanks everyone, my clock seems to be normal now. with fsb=133 my xbench score drop from 108.46 to 69.44 but i don't feel any differences. oh my onboard audio which i believe to be AC97 is not working. Tried to use Sigmatel Driver from 10.4.6 with no luck. Any advices?

It seems Asus is having issues with the new kernel and networking,and usb for some users,this is not a mix-matched isntall anymore,maybe a new HCL is need for true 10.4.8 installs ?

No networking here either, although ifconfig is saying that eth0 interface is up, but DHCP or manual setup don't get me on my LAN. Works fine in 10.4.6.

 

Considering how many ASUS 945-based mobos are in use on this forum, I would like to hear if anyone has working sound/networking with 10.4.8.

Intel D 930

2 GB Ram

D945GNTLKR Mobo

Using onboard gma950 video

sigmatel 9220(sound works through green plug)

Jas 10.4.8 second release

 

running superbly!!

 

Desktop boots in about 6-8 seconds. I have not had any problems with install or use. I ran software update as soon as the install finished and updated without problems.

 

xbench = 110 :D

 

Thanks again Jas!

I'm having problems with sound, even with AZALIA package selected on Install.

 

Check permissions, could not get mine working without this.

 

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
reboot

Of course the score goes down :D Xbench checks how many stuff your second can do per second. If seconds take longer then they actually are on your PC, you will get a fake high score.

mmh, installing 10.4.8 from the fixed jas dvd gave me not only

the persisting bug with "about a mac". further opengl didnt work.

third, it simply killed my windows partition info, so i had to

recreate the parition with fdisk in linux. it was /dev/sda4.

empty space after install. is this normal?

can anyone give me instructions how to ONLY copy the

relevant semthexkernel onto my existing (oldkerneld) 10.4.8,

without using the installer on the dvd?

simply copying the kernel and starting it yielede strange

not found erros..

To copy kernel - either use Pacifist or manually copy the kernel and rename it to mach_kernel

 

Also do "chmod 755 /mach_kernel"
