rafafre Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I've deleted an USB kext from my system to try a new one that didn't work. Now, I removed the new one (it was on Extra) and I've tried to boot in -s to copy the Backup of the old one, but guess what??? No keyboard. (dah, it is an USB keyboard). So, I boot from the iAtkos installation CD, just to copy the backup kext in there, but it says it's a read-only file system. So, when booting from the CD, how can I mount my Hard Drive in Read-Write mode so I can copy that kext again and save my installation? I really searched and can't find that info. It would hurt to do it all again, believe me. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/233777-copying-kext/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibertron Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not sure if it would work, but have you tried -x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/233777-copying-kext/#findComment-1559837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafafre Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yes. It just boots without keyboard or mouse, because I have replaced the AppleIOUSBFamily.kext with another one that didn't work. So, I do not have USB, even in -x safe mode. Of course, I could edit it all in another machine running Leopard or Snow, but right now, I do not have one handy. SO, I just need to move that kext to where it belongs again. That's why I made a backup. I just don't knoe the commands for mounting my HD partition in write mode. It says the cp command can't copy because it is a read-only mode partition...

MacUser2525 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It says the cp command can't copy because it is a read-only mode partition... From reading the man page for mount looks like mount -uw /dev/disk1s2 /Volumes/Partition_Name as root user should update the /dev/disk1s2 mounted as /Volumes/Partition_Name to read/write status, you would of course need the correct naming for your setup use the mount command alone to see the list of mounted file systems for your install to use in the command.

GimmeRed Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm really curious here. What was your USB not doing that you thought a new kext might help? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/233777-copying-kext/#findComment-1563046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
