tomster2300 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hey guys, I'm having kind of a weird problem. Whenever I mount an external or network drive, my computer will not reboot, turn off, or let me log off...even if I unmount it before trying. Is this a common issue? Now, if I unmount it then restart finder, everything works as normal. Also, has anyone had an issue with finder crashing, all the desktop icons disappearing after you restart it, and then it showing a -10810 error when you try to open it again? Thanks!

tomster2300 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Basically I gathered that I should be checking system.log to see which processes are occurring at the time of the error. How would I do that? Would repairing disk permissions help this in any way? I'm doing that as I type just to make sure. Also, does anyone have any ideas on why the restart isn't working after mounting / unmounting drives? Thanks!

tomster2300 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 From the link you should have got that this it is not just a Hack problem, happens on real mac after some updates. Seems your system is corrupted in some way, problems are probably connected Repairing permissions is always good, but depending on the type of install you did, may show errors anyway. Try starting in single user mode and do fsck -fy You have not given any details, is this Tiger/Leopard/Snow? retail/distro?. Has the problems always been there or after you changed something Right, sorry about that. My rig is - i7 920 x58-UD3R 6 gigs ram HD4870 1GB I did the lifehacker snow leopard install and replaced the extra folder with the one included in this install thanks to the advice from this poster. I am also updated to 10.6.2. The disk used in the installation was retail. On startup when all the text comes up, the main issues it shows (and subsequently bypasses) seem to be with sound and a lack of a product ID number, although I doubt this has anything to do with this problem. (FYI, I have yet to get sound to work on this rig). What should I be looking for if I boot with fsck -fy? Thanks for your help so far!

tomster2300 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 fsck -fy is not a boot flag it is command.1--What you do is boot in single user mode -s flag this will bring you to the command line something like root# when the text stops. Then you type fsck -fy. then hit enter. If it says the system was altered, retype (or hit up arrow) and repeat until it goes through without repairing. Then type reboot or exit. Ok, I did it and it listed a number of things that it was checking, and then said "The volume Hackintosh appears to be ok" But under that it said: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED*** So, I ran it again, it again said the volume was ok, but the modified warning did not appear. I also ran it a third time and it said the same thing, again without the modification warning. Is that good? UPDATE: So I ran a couple of tests when it rebooted. I mounted my Macbook HD over the network and tried to reboot, and it did! I also mounted my external HD and logged out, and that worked as well! I then unmounted everything and tried rebooting. It all works. Thank you so much, it's great to finally have this working again. Now if I can only get my sound to work then I'll be in business. Do you have any clue what could have caused the corruption?

tomster2300 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yes that is good. Seems to have fixed it. No idea what caused the corruption. Now what is the audio chipset, maybe we can make it a complete working system for Christmas Thanks for the help! It's onboard sound on the x58-UD3R. The chipset should be an ALC888. In system profiler I have - Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x1458A002 Audio ID: 12 Available Devices: Line Out: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack External Microphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack External Microphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack Headphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack S/P-DIF Out: Connection: Combo S/P-DIF In: Connection: Combo I have a logitech 5.1 surround sound system plugged in via the three normal 1/8" cords, all going into the back of the mobo. None of them are being recognized, and I have no options in either my input or output menus (I also don't have anything plugged into the above ports, which is probably why nothing is registering within my limited options). When it boots it always shows an error with AppleHDA and says it can't find a product ID... It shows a couple of lines and various issues pertaining to the AppleHDA and files inside it, and then continues through startup.

tomster2300 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hopefully this will workhttp://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...49#entry1277378 Dumb question, but what are the steps that I should do to correctly install them? Should I... Place these kexts in the S/L/Extensions folder, then run kext utility to rebuild everything? Or, should I drop these kexts directly into the kext utility? I've been using kext utility because its been rebuilding everything without me having to worry about much else.

tomster2300 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 UPDATE: Ok, so I backed the original AppleHDA up and installed the new kexts via KextUtility. I then rebuilt everything and repaired the permissions. It successfully booted (no kernel panics!), and now under audio in the system profiler I have two instances of Intel High Definition Audio. One has the previous stuff and the new one is blank under available devices. So, I don't think that worked for me. Should I be removing anything else to make it work, or should I just revert back to my original AppleHDA.kext? Merry Christmas!

tomster2300 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 After some continued googling, I finally found an AppleHDA.kext that worked for my onboard sound! It gives me a separate output choice per 1/8" plug, so I'm going to have to tie everything together to make 5.1 surround sound, but it at least works, and works VERY WELL! It's loud, clean and crisp. I'm still having logout / restart / turnoff issues like before though. I've repaired permissions, run kext utility to repair / rebuild everything, and have redone fsck -fy in single user, but it still does it after the computer has been on for awhile. Any other ideas on that front? Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
