mifki Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Have you ever heard of a thing called "Search", obviously not. The error you are gettign is a permisions error. What you have to do is open up terminal, type 1) sudo chmod- R 755 \*Dir Of Kext* 2) sudo chown -R root:wheel \*Dir Of Kext* 3) sudo rm \System\Library\Extensions.mkext 4) sudo rm \System\Library\Extensions.kextcache 5) reboot P.S: I do not know the exact position of the kexts so just add them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shimq1 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Is there a difference between typing all of that and using the repair permissions in disk utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
