10.4.6 installed ok, I don't see anything...

[bitHacker]

My System:

P4 2.6 (NOT HT)

1 GB (2x512 MB DDR400)

Geforce5200

MB: Asus P4SX

 

I know it's a bit old, but it works great for me..

 

I installed OS 10.4.6 to an Image, without a problem (using DeamonTools)

Got after the reboot b0 error, used Hirens Boot CD Boot manager, which solved it.

 

here comes the funny thing.

No Errors, no alert, just a bright blue background and the black mouse...

I can move it, but beyond that - nothing!

Let it do nothing for about 2 hours... still nothing.

 

1. How can I make the system load in verbose mode? to see if there is an error?

2. Anyno ever got this error? that already knows how to solve it?

 

Thanks in advanced.

At boot start up type -x.

At boot start up type -x.

 

When the Mac OS X boot prompt appears, hit F8 then type -v then enter

[bitHacker]

ok, did that.

 

here is my error:

 

a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AudioIPCDriver.kext

[bitHacker]

no one? Am I the first with this error?

 

how can I Edit the apple boot file? since the OS won't boot fully, can I edit from the terminal in the Install DVD ?

ok, why didn't I found it, however, where do I type the command?

 

This Universal Install DVD has screwed up permissions on specific kexts, namely:

 

ApplePS2Controller.kext

AudioIPCDriver.kext

AppleMLANAudio.kext

AppleHDA.kext

 

The issue can be fixed by loading up terminal and typing:

 

cd /System/Library/Extensions

sudo find nameofkext.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \;

sudo find nameofkext.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \;

 

Disk Utility will not fix the problem automatically.

 

Tried to run them from the terminal in the install cd, (Did "mount" first)

but it said "sudo" is not a known command ...

 

what now?

[Rammjet]

ok, why didn't I found it

 

Search 101:

 

In the search utility, put "AudioIPCDrive" in the upper left

 

In the bottom left, select "All forums"

 

In the bottom right, select "Show results as posts"

 

 

Tried to run them from the terminal in the install cd, (Did "mount" first)

but it said "sudo" is not a known command ...

 

Run them from Terminal on the install DVD, "mount" not needed.

 

Try them without "sudo".

[bitHacker]

well.. that didn't help... same thing...

 

any ideas?

In case anyone comes across this old topic searching for "AudioIPCDriver.kext", here's the story on this file's problems:

 

AudioIPCDriver.kext is one of three kexts (the other two being AppleMobileDevice.kext, and iTunesPhoneDriver.kext) installed by either a Quicktime or an iTunes update (and maybe other installers), and these installers don't always correctly set these files' permissions. Some people report these files (sometimes just AudioIPCDriver.kext) sometimes wind up with bad permissions, causing the startup error message, after you back up or recover a drive. When this happens, it's usually because the permissions for a lot of other files get messed up during the backup and/or restore, but only these (and sometimes a few others) will cause the startup error message. Running a utility to repair permissions on the drive will fix most or all of the other files, but not AudioIPCDriver.kext--maybe there's something wrong with the receipts file that's supposed to contain the permissions for this file. In any case, the proper permissions for AudioIPCDriver.kext are:

 

Owner: system or root; read/write/execute

Group: wheel; read/execute (no write)

Others: read/execute (no write)

 

You can use the chown command in Terminal to fix the permissions; some people say this works:

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AudioIPCDriver.kext

 

…but I don't yet know my chown from a hole in the ground, so in case this doesn't work for you (some people also suggest using chown to just set the octal code for the file to 775, but this doesn't always fix the Group's write setting (it should be off)), so to fix AudioIPCDriver.kext's permissions, I use iRepair or BatChmod instead (though unfortunately, the current version of iRepair (1.0.5) won't work under OS 10.5--it "quits unexpectedly"). Select these utility's option to copy the permissions to items inside the file, since AudioIPCDriver.kext is a container for other items whose permissions need to be set the same.
