topprospect Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hopefully this will help someone else. After update from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 my Ethernet stopped working.

mattvs221984 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm glad I read this, I was just about to install 10.5.5 on a P5K-E. I'll hold off for now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127028-1055-update-broke-marvell-yukon-88e8056/#findComment-898858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsusZ84JHelp Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am running iATKOS 10.5.3 on an Asus Z84J laptop with the exact same Ethernet as you, TopProspect, so I'd like to ask you for a little advice: how did you initially upgrade your 10.5.3 to 10.5.4, then 10.5.4 to 10.5.5? I ask because first I tried to upgrade 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 using the regular Mac OS X Combo Update for 10.5.4 while following netkas' method of upgrading 10.5.1 to 10.5.2, as well as 10.5.2 to 10.5.3. In that case, I couldn't boot anymore. Then on a second attempt, I tried to update 10.5.3 to 10.5.5 via Software Update, but it caused a kernel panic. Anyway, any help is appreciated, and I thank you for your time.

topprospect Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 AsusZ84JHelp, I just followed netkas' method for the combo updates every step of the way 10.5.2->10.5.3->10.5.4->10.5.5. No boot problems and this is the first time that I've had any driver problems with the Ethernet. raiden2k5, unless I'm mistaken, the HP530 has a Intel 82562GT 10/100 adapter. I don't know that my problem with my Marvell Yukon adapter is related to yours.

topprospect Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Okay, I think I solved this one. 1st, forget about copying over AppleYukon.kext from 10.5.4. 2nd, just modify AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist with the PCI ID for my 88E8056. Works after reboot.

eoinenator Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I just disabled renamed all the kexts in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ with Yukon in the name to .bak at the end. Reboot using "-v -x -F" as boot flags and then reboot normally everything should be working fine now.

bymartin Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm having the same issue. Ethernet 88E8056 worked fine on 10.5.4 and broke with 10.5.5. I noticed my original AppleYukon.kext was gone, so I edited the AppleYukon2.kext (same I had done earlier on 10.5.3). However, it is not working. I tried the suggestions here with no success. If i boot with the "-f" option, my ethernet works. If not, it won't. I've double-checked the kext and it looks correct.

Korrupted Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If he got it from 10.5.4, can't you just download the 10.5.4 update and extract it?

topprospect Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 mcoelho80, read post #6. It turned out that the solution of copying over that kext from 10.5.4 wasn't a good one. Instead, follow the instructions in #6.
