rudalicious Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey Guys, This is my first post so... hello . I just built a new PC (specs below) and have done a fresh install of 10.6, then combo updated to 10.6.6 and then used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after that. For some reason when I boot from my hard drive, My ethernet and sound kexts aren't working. They work if I boot off of my thumb drive with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I'm using the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and chameleon. In addition I've tried reinstalling the OS, the update and using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (with repair permissions and chache rebuild) with no luck. I think I'm just missing something really stupid. Any help would be much appreciated!

rudalicious Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Your hardware ethernet e sound? VIA VT1708S codec High Definition Audio and Atheros AR8151. I installed the lnx2mac realtek kext and several audio kexts that were reported to work but for some reason arent loading when I boot from the HD.

mulcyber Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 VIA VT1708S codec High Definition Audio and Atheros AR8151. I installed the lnx2mac realtek kext and several audio kexts that were reported to work but for some reason arent loading when I boot from the HD. Thanks Why did you think the realtek kext would work for the Atheros AR8151 device? lnx2mac realtek won't load if the driver isn't meant for Atheros, that's how it's supposed to work. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t=#entry1583944 The last post in the thread says, i found driver AR8151 (driver in Attachment) works for 32 or 64 Attached File(s) AtherosL1cEthernet.kext.zip ( 91.82K ) Number of downloads: 232 The kexts need to be installed. It's recommended to use a kext utility like Kext Helper b7 to repair permissions and rebuild the cache after you install a kext, read the directions.

Apparently I hadn't bought the board I thought I was getting... but oh well... sound and internet.

Dellmantt Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 but oh well... sound and internet Run this it will tell you what devices you have, then you can search for the right kexts. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=219584 Or if you think about, if they work when booting with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], then all you need to do is look in System Profiler under extensions to see which kexts are loading for those devices. Then extract them from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

Thanks again Well, I think that your audio kext is voodoohda, but I've seen a few versions of that file. When you used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install your audio, what did you choose? voodoohda ?
