I finally got my Mac OS X Snow Leopard to work. I used iATKOS S3 version 2 instead of the one suggested, because it actually gave me an error and didn't want to wait for you to reply. I added the AppleGenericPCATA.kext driver to the iATKOS installation, then it detected my IDE HDD. I installed it and everything is working fine except the Network Card. I understand that I need to go to my router and switch to every pages, otherwise, I am disconnected from my network. Can you please give me some help about this problem?

 

Thank you!

When trying to load the kext you have send me: it gives me an error:

 

/Extra/Extensions/AppleIntel8255.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutils(8)

Try installing it in /System/Library/Extensions/ using Kext Helper b7

Okay your kext loaded. It's not working. Are you sure it is a problem of driver? Because, Internet is acting well, as long as I don't open some other applications that use internet, such as MSN Messenger, Safari, iChat, Mail, WoW Installer. I remind you that Steam is working, even downloading a game.

Then use the internet with that AppleIntel8255.kext removed that you have installed and reboot with -v -f......

Well, I use internet with the one you gave me... But do you want me to remove it ? Since it's not working ?

 

If I understood you correctly, you are saying your LAN is working without it installed?

Yes it worked fine even without the nForceLAN the only problem is that it crashes when I open an application such as MSN Messenger, Skype, WoW Installer, etc. (Mostly all applications that uses internet) except Steam and Mozilla Firefox.

 

It also crashes when I try to post a message here on the forum, using Mozilla Firefox.

 

But when I say crash, the system doesn't. Only the Internet Connection no more work.

This output shows that your Ethernet controller is an nVidia Corporation MCP73 Ethernet [10de:07dc] (rev a2) not an Integrated Intel 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN as you indicated in an earlier post...........please clarify, as the eno nForceLAN.kext supports your 0x07dc10de nVidia Ethernet controller chipset!

Well... I mean... that's what was written on the website of gateway so... Anyways... the eno's driver wasn't working neither...

 

But, are you sure that it is a problem of driver?

 

I'll try reinstalling your eno's driver with the mpkg. And then Repair Permissions (I didn't know I needed to do it when I installed it earlier)... thanks

It should work because it supports your onboard LAN chipset device ID..........did you run the nForceLAN_0.64.6.mpkg installer, or the nForceLAN_0.64.5.mpkg installer.........whichever one you ran, run the other and then reboot with -v -f........

It gave me an error. System Extension cannot be installed... I don't know I could translate it to you from french to english... And at the end it tells me Installation Succeeded anyway. Do I ignore the error or?

 

OK I will upload the kext for you and show you how to install in manually.......

Thank you very much ! ;)

 

Use Kext Helper b7 to install the nForceLAN.0.64.6SL.kext: nForceLAN_0.64.6_SL.zip and then reboot with -v -f.......... :wacko:
