Ratz1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm having a somewhat similar problem, I tried starting with "cpus=1 -v" and it doesn't appear to be working, it does have "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPCI." highlighted in yellow, any ideas?

Ratz1 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Re-install iDeneb, but when customizing, make sure you're only selecting the patches and drivers for what you need, I just installed all the patches and it didn't work, then I just installed what I needed and now everything works great.

sbojchuk Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I had the same error. But I fixed it. If U installed OsX86, and than see that error - do next. Insert DVD with OsX86 into your DVD-ROM, than type "-v rd=disk0sX" (where X - is place where Mac is installed). Than It will load all Extensions from DVD & load your's Mac os x. Then copy all *ATA* (I don't know exactly, I copied all kexts))) from DVD : /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (I don't remeber correctly, 'cause I don't write from Mac, my Ethernet don't work ). For that use program "Mkext tool". Than add copied kext into system kext /System/Libary/Extensions.mkext. (U need pack copied kext into Extensions.mkext with that program) or to the library /System/Library/Extensions/ . Than reboot without DVD. If U will see error with normal booting, reboot again, and type "-v -x". It won't load kext now from Extensions.mkext. It will from folder Extensions/. It works in my laptop - Asus X59SL.
