Gringo Vermelho Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Most kernel extensions you need you can find attached to posts right here on InsanelyMac. A good deal of useful stuff is available over at the ProjectOSX forums as well. It's been a while since I visited there but I believe kexts.com is a collection of kernel extensions that come mainly from here and ProjectOSX, and that there's no actual development going on over there. Personally I try to avoid using that type of site and always try to find out where the files come from and then download them from there. If you download a package of files from some random hosting service you might miss some important information. What the hell is "Snow Leopard 1.3"? Be more specific when asking for help, describe the problem you're having. Are you looking for a specific Kernel Extension? For what? Do you know for sure that you need it?

atib3rk Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ugh. That was totally misspelled. I'm actually looking for the general kexts. I mean which kexts I should install in the beginning. For example I know sleepenabler is for sleep mode to work. I'm sure you understand what I meant. Like so, I've been searching in the forums but I couldn't find any kind of list etc. for general kexts in one single page. Thanks for yoru help.

Gringo Vermelho Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 That's because it doesn't exist. The only kernel extension that everybody needs is fakesmc.kext, the rest depends on your hardware. Sleep and hibernation can work fine (no crutches) if your hardware is compatible and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext is loaded. Sometimes a little DSDT tickling is needed.
