Hawk Pidgeon Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 After updating to 10.5.5, my ethernet stopped working properly. I've tried reinstalling forcedeth.kext, but all it does now is semi-freezes my computer. I don't get any kernel panic screens or anything; everything just stops working right. Programs won't start up, and programs that are already running freeze. Oddly though, the dock keeps working and so does Finder (for a while). Has anyone experienced something like this before?

fragreaver Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Same problem here. It just seems like the nforce chipset uses some generic osx-kernel. You can get rid of the freezes by removing the forcedeth*.kext in /System/Library/Extensions... Damn, I need to get that to work, too...any ideas?

Guest cavallo Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 no nforce lan working on my amd system, but i have to let it abled in bios to get final cut, compressor, color, toast and popcorn (enabling rosetta) working. I think this is the bad and worst chipset platform ever produced on any os: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127747-nforce4-forcedethkext-interesting-problem/#findComment-915424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
