darbid Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have a freshly installed OSX 10.5 from leo4allv.3 My ethernet card Broadcom 5788 is not nativelz supported so i had to make some changes. Here I followed the guides in the forum for bcm57xx by moving a hexedited (for my card) AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ then sudo -s 22/ cd / 23/ cd /System/Library/Extensions/ 24/ ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext 25/ rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache 26/ rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext 27/ chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions 28/ kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions now with a reboot i get still waiting for root device. it will boot in safe mode -v -x and the ethernet card does work in safe mode. but why will it not boot normally. Thanks in advance for your help edit stop researching and writing your answers - reinstalled - redone - re-fixed (have no idea what I did wrong so sorry I cannot write my experience in the forum for others) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113479-changed-ethernet-driver-bcm57xx-now-still-waiting-for-root-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
