edav Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Did you try to recreate the symbolic link, i.e. before removing the mkext and cache with the 'rm' command, type: cd /System/Library/Extensions/ then : ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext and then flush the cache and reboot. edav.

edav Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Joe912, Your kernel crashes during boot but I'm surprised that a simple IONetworkingFamily.kext hack did cause that... If you're able to replace the hacked file by the original kext file, then do it. If not and unless somebody here can give you a step-by-step process to repair what causes you kernel panic, then I would recommend to reinstall the whole stuff... In the screenshot you did, we cannot see the first messages at the top of the screen : what are they? edav.

edav Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 [...] what am i doing wrong? Maybe searching the forum? OK, not so funny... After you patched your kext, did you type ALL the commands described here? edav.
