.Neo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi, after installing iATKOS 4a (10.5.4) I can't boot. I always get "IOPCCardBridge : start failed". I know its caused by my PCMCIA device, but i can't disable it in BIOS (and i cant remove it (Laptop)). I found this guide CardBus/PCMCIA Driver Leopard but I 1. dont know how to install a *.kext and 2. I dont get to a terminal. Does anyone know what to do? (Sorry, my english isnt that good, im 15 and from Germany ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140950-1054-iopccardbridge-start-failed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry, my english isnt that good, im 15 and from Germany ) To install a kext use Kext Helper b7 or OSx86Tools...... To get to a Terminal......boot from install DVD and go to Disk Utility......and from OS X on HDD go Applications/Utilities.......

.Neo Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ok but when I boot from DVD can I install Kext helper and then a kext file? And can I install the kext file from the running DVD to my installed OS X? I never used OS X and I dont know if installing of the driver really helps =/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140950-1054-iopccardbridge-start-failed/#findComment-998476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 If you mean starting the dvd with -v -x the installer just starts after the verbose boot. If you mean my installed MAc OSX than it stopps at IOPCCardBridge : start failed RTL8139::fixEnetFlowControl - Flow Control is disabled I formatted my pen drive to HFS and copied the kext helper and the driver on it. Again: is it possible to boot the setup dvd, install the kext helper.app with terminal and RUN it immediately on the live system from the dvd??? In the topic CardBus/PCMCIA Driver they say i have to install the kext file. (BUT IS THAT POSSIBLE WITHOUT A WORKING INSTALLED SYSTEM ?) I have to boot from a Linux live-cd everytime I try something and that takes some time, so I need to get as much as possible informations before.
