vilpostus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Try replacing the System.kext if it is different from the kernel version used.

vash82 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thank you for the reply although I'm confused to what you mean, I'm fairly new to all of this. From what I have figured you are talking about the system.kext in ~system/library/extensions. (found in system profiler) System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.7 (9J61) Kernel Version: Darwin 9.7.0 How can I find out what system.kext I have and where can I get the correct one?

vilpostus Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 How can I find out what system.kext I have and where can I get the correct one?Usually on the newly installed system (not yet updated or modified whatsoever) all kexts are the corresponding version to the kernel and system version e.g. 10.5.7>9.7.0 The software update usually replaces some/all kexts to the newer version. If you use not the vanilla kernel, but the modified one and do not replace it with the newer version (in other words old kernel+new kexts), the version mismatch uppers. To check if you have that problem, ever use -v flag on boot and look for ...mismatch... message, or open Applications>Utilities>Console>Show log list>System.log and look for ...mismatch... message. To fix the problem (if present), ever replace the kernel with the newer one or replace the System.kext in /System/Library/Extensions with the older version corresponding to the kernel version. You can extract the System.kext from the install dvd (the disk you have OS X installed from) if its version is corresponding to the currently used kernel. Or ask there, in forum to send you this. Alternatively can download AnV kernel that comes together with the needed kext(s).
