saicrazyfire Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 It's most likely because you have the newer seatbelt.kext. Use the 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext and it should mount just fine. If you want you can disable "auto open" in safari so it doesn't freeze up on you unexpectedly.

Daveta Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 you have to use the same version's seatbelt of your kernel (kernel f.e. 9.5. seatbelt xx.5) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177628-mounting-dmg-after-download-crashhelp/#findComment-1214598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 now some DMG just are not mounting at all.... anyone know how to fix this? I have the exact same problem. As someone told you before me, it's because your seatbelt doesn't match your kernel. You have a kernel 9.6 where your seatbelt is for 9.5. However, I don't know how the seatbelt.kext is choosen because I have several of them on my system and it is always the same 199.99 that is choosen. I asked for advise on this, or a technical guide, but nobody actually answer to my questions ( how does it work ? ) Anyway, the solution is : get seatbelt for 9.6 and install it, there is a procedure in the forum. And good luck meteo ps : some dmg are impossible to mount.... -> The ones you downloaded from your mac os x install ( wether safari or FF ).

osgaldo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Every time i download a DMG and try to install it the system crashes? why does this happen and how can i fix it Hi guys. I have the exact same problem, I just installed iatkos v7, everytime I download a DMG with Safari or Firefox, the system crashes. So after reading your post I decided to replace the seatbelt.kext with a 10.5.5 version...same result. Curious that I can mount any DMG allready on the Hardrive or downloaded from another PC?mmh shouldn't it crash everytime I try to mount a DMG file?whats the difference? I did a uname -a , and Ive got a 9.7 kernel. should I replace this one as well? Thanks.

meteo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 when i try and install the newer kernel i go to the terminal and when i get to the step where i type "mkdir /backup/Seatbelt" it keeps saying no directory can be found? In fact, it's because backup doesn't exist.... mkdir /backup mkdir /backup/Seatbelt or maybe the same command as linux : mkdir -p /backup/Seatbelt but never tried under mac os x.
