Samba server is not working

[Malechite]

I just recently finished a Vanilla install of Mac OS X 10.6.1 with chameleon, EFI 10, and dsdt.aml for a perfectly working install.

 

However, I am having an issue with windows sharing, the samba service will not start.... In the console I have this message in the system log

 

Nov  8 15:51:35 Phoenix com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.smbd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Nov  8 15:51:45 Phoenix com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.smbd[1455]): Exited with exit code: 1

 

and this message in the samba SMBD log.

the NMBD service works fine as I can connect to and browse other windows systems.

 

This is my only issue with this otherwise perfect install. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I got it working... When i made my EFI boot string, I forgot to add in the ethernet. I juse used EFI studio to generate the string for my graphics card AND ethernet, and copied it into the com.apple.boot.plist in case anyone else has this problem

I know this is a stone age thread, but if you read this, THANK YOU for posting the resolution. You just helped me to fix my crashing SAMBA server.
