jeepguy_1980 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I hate to ask this question, because it seems so basic and probably asked 1000 times before. However, I cannot find an answer to my question. I have read and searched many pages and have not found an answer, so please don't flame me too badly. Setup: I have a Dell XPS M1330, I used Superhai's DellSnow.iso to boot and install Snow Leopard, from an upgrade disc. I then installed Chameleon 2.0 RC3. I tried the autoinstaller and that did not work. So I then followed some manual directions. Chameleon was then working on my laptop, but I could only get a kernel panic. To establish baseline functionality, I copied all of the files from the DellSnow cd /Extra/Preboot.dmg/Extra to /Extra/Extensions and .Chameleon/Extra/Extensions on my HD. Status: I can boot Snow Leopard from the hard drive. I have no sound, I believe the resolution is wrong, my touchpad is recognized as a mouse. So I don't have two finger scrolling. Shutdown works, but sleep and restart do not. My USB ports, wifi, battery status, and other essential hardware seems to be functional. Problem: I have tried installing kext files by dragging them into my /Extra/Extensions folder, by using Kext Helper b7, and by trying the kext utility. However, my kexts never appear to be running when I check them using kextspy. I seem to have kext files in three locations: /Extra/Extensions .Chameleon/Extra/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions Removing .kext files from /Extra/Extensions seems to have negative consequences, i.e. I removed the ApplePS2Controller.kext file and my keyboard and mouse no longer worked. However, adding files to this folder doesn't seem to have any impact and they never show up using kextspy. Question: How do I properly install kext files using my setup?
