Amacx86 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well this is a strange one. Upgraded to 10.6.7 through software update. Broke the IO80211 Family kext, so restored that. Got the machine back to working, for the most part but it looks like java is broken. Lots of browser freezes and spinning beach balls. Thoughts?

Have you repared permissions and cleared caches since you updated?

Amacx86 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Have you repared permissions and cleared caches since you updated? Unfortunately, a couple of times. For instance, this forum works perfectly. But when I do something like, for instance, check my GMX mail I can never get to the inbox due to a spinning beach ball. Even tried re downloading java from the apple site and installing it. No luck. Unfortunately, a couple of times. For instance, this forum works perfectly.

Well, I seem to have tracked this down to the ATIx1000.kext losing support for my radeon chipset on this laptop. Re adding the device ID and running kext utility seems to have fixed the "freezing" problem, however the chipset is still described as unknown with no QE support.

I think you will find that is javascript related not java they are two different things that do not depend on each other to function, that said anything I use that uses the javascript still works as it should after upgrading.
