Which version of System.kext are you running? Right click on System.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and reply back with the version.

thanks alot!!! if you are still having problems and you have a 9.7 kernel get a voodoo 9.5 kernel and install it. then get the 10.5 seatbelt and install it..i think the seatbelt i used was 10.5.7 or 10.5.5 but i dont remeber but i know it was one of those. then use ox86 tools to fix the permission and then u good..i think that was all i did...i couldnt even download dmg files now i can and i can even mount them..

 

good luck fixin the seatbelt problem..

Hi, I have the same problems with Kernel panic while mounting some .dmg files like Yahoo Messenger?post-152029-1265663359_thumb.jpg

 

I did follow the instructions and installed the correct seatbelt.kext for the 9.5.0 Voodoo kernel. I have iPC 10.5.6

 

Please advise

 

Cheers

Navigate Finder to the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Right click on Seatbelt.kext and select Show Package Contents. Open versions.plist in the Contents folder and check which BuildVersion. It should be 14

 

Alternately you can type the following in Terminal to see the BuildVersion

nano /system/library/extensions/Seatbelt.kext/contents/version.plist

 

If it is than remove Extensions.mkext cache file by typing the following:

sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
touch /System/Library/Extensions

 

Restart with -f boot flag.

 

Reply back if this does not fix the problem

Ok, that explains it.

 

I will reinstall the correct version 14 later today.

 

Kind of confusing to use 10.5.5 on a 10.5.6 and not the 10.5.6

 

Cheers

 

 

Thats true, just remember that the key is your kernel version. You have 9.5.0 Voodoo kernel and so you will need to make sure that you have both System.kext and Seatbelt.kext from 10.5.5 for it to work correctly. You could alternatly install a kernel whose version matches the rest of your system. 9.5.0 is the latest actual Voodoo kernel releast however there are a bunch of people who have recompiled the Voodoo Source and have produced newer versions of the kernel. For example I run Qoopz's 9.8.0 kernel based on Voodoo Source. This works great as my system is up to date, 10.5.8

 

 

 

Something else thats interesting is that the kernel versions are coincidentally matching with the OSX version.

 

OSX ----------------- Kernel Version

10.5.5 ----------------- 9.5.0

10.5.6 ----------------- 9.6.0

10.5.7 ----------------- 9.7.0

 

The thing that is the most confusing is that the different Seatbelt's do not carry unique version numbers. They only differ by buildnumber so its a bit more difficult to keep track of.

Too change the seatbelt.kext do I just do the same as you describe in your first post or do I need to do something different?

 

Cheers

The same with the proper Seatbelt.kext

I can't get it to change? It still shows 45? The one I downloaded does show 14 so it must be right.

 

What kind of install do you use? Do you use an /extra folder or the EFI partition?

 

If not than try removing the current seatbelt from /System/library/extensions then install the new one.

I'm following your instructions on page one.

I found correct kext, if I go to Extensions and click on seatbelt.kext and to see content, I see two things in there, one is the folder named "contents" and next to it is the correct seatbelt.kext that if I click on that one to see content is shows me ver 14.

 

Any ideas why the new kext get buried in there?

A kext is essentially a folder with various files packed inside. You have basically copied one kext "folder" into another kext "folder".

 

Try this

 

1. Redownload the proper Seatbelt.kext and place it on your desktop.

 

2. Open Terminal and type the following. Pay close attention to spaces and / marks. Replace username with your own.

 

sudo su
cd /System/library
rm -Rf Extensions/Seatbelt.kext
cp /Users/username/Desktop/Seatbelt.kext Extensions
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
chown -R root:wheel Extensions/
chmod -R 755 Extensions/
touch Extensions

 

Reboot with -f

 

You can alternately use KextHelper to install the kext.

1. Open Terminal and type 

sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/Seatbelt.kext

2. Use KextHelper to Install the new kext.

Working, I just deleted the old one first then followed you original instructions.

 

Thank you very much for your help

 

Cheers

 

No problem

 

You may also benefit from the following post. I was able to get my boot time down to around 30sec using this modified kext. This is also version specific. The initial files posted are for 10.5.6, which is what you would need, while later in the thread versions for 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 are also posted.

Cool,

 

BTW can I do the MAC updates or should I use some thing like the iDeneb 10.5.8 combo kit to update?

 

Do not use Apple Software Update if you are running a prepatched install. The iDeneb update should probobly be safe however I would recommend making a complete backup of your system using Disk Utility or software like SuperDuper. At a minimum make a backup copy of your Extensions folder.

If you ever plan to do a complete reinstall or have the time to tinker, I would suggest looking into using an /Extra folder method to keep your modified kexts in. An even better aproach would be an EFI partition retail install. This basically keeps your modified kernel, kexts and hacks in a hidden parition leaving you with a vanilla Apple install.

These means:

1. Updates using Apple's Software Update

2. The ability to do a complete reinstall without the need to reapply your kexts and hacks.

3. Piece of mind

 

Without this you will be faced with an arduous journey through update hell.

 

These methods are widely explained throughout this and other forums. I am willing to help anyone but they must first do some research on their own and become better familiarized with these methods and the lingo that goes with them.

 

Just let me know.

Hi Lanceomni,

 

I was able to successfully install 10.6.2 by Hazard, but I'm running into the same kind of problems as I did with 10.5.2.

 

Does 10.6.2 also have issues with seatbelt.kexts or is this just a Leo issue?

 

Cheers
