Flash21 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I modified the info.plist files in the AppleAC97Audio.kext plugins (that i needed to) and when I went to do a kextload on the base kext, it says "Is not authentic (Please Check Owner/Permissions) The files are still 664, and root:wheel so... nothing has changed owner/perm wise.. but It refuses to load... Is there something I need to do... or do I just need to replace the kext and try again.. (if so.. where on the instalation DVD is the kext stored?? I can't find it anywhere) Thanks for your help. -Flash Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27050-kext-is-not-authentic-resolved/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifki Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 permissions need to be 755 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27050-kext-is-not-authentic-resolved/#findComment-183976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Just run Disk Utility and repair permissions on your OSX partition. It restored 9 files... (none of which were the kext) and the kext still fails.. permissions need to be 755 I'll try that now. but seeing as the default perms were 664 and are 664 on all the unmodded Info.plists... I'm not sure it will work. *off to try* -Flash Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27050-kext-is-not-authentic-resolved/#findComment-183989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 the perms on the kext's are already 755, but just for s/g i chmoded them anyway to 755.. ls -l still says its 755. I changed the Info.plist to 755 and verified this. Still tells me Is not Authentic and won't load. Any other Ideas? -Flash Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27050-kext-is-not-authentic-resolved/#findComment-183996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart86 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My Broadcom kext started failing yesterday with the same message. I repaired perms with Disk Utility and still kept failing. I had to manually change perms and then that worked. Try this: sudo su cd /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel AppleAC97Audio.kext chmod -R 755 AppleAC97Audio.kext cd /System/Library rm Extensions.kextcache rm Extensions.mkext sync reboot Probably a couple of extra steps there towards the bottom that you don't need, but that should rule out the normal stuff.
