Edit - originally i was having problems starting without autoload=y... but now my problem is different. i can load up osx without autoload=y (ive checked both boot.plists that i can find, and under <kernel flags> there is nothing there... but none of the kextsin /extra/GeneralExtensions are being loaded. I did

 

kextstat | grep 801

 

 

and it shows nothing

 

 

 

if i do

 

sudo kextload IO80211Family.kext

 

 

then do

 

kextstat | grep 801

 

 

it shows it is loaded, but my wifi still doesn't work.

 

 

same with the ethernet kext, but this time once i have kextload'ed it, it at least shows up in Network settings (but doesnt actually connect correctly)

 

 

so i think my problem is none of the kexts are loading... how can i get them to load? Maybe because I kept booting with

recovery=y

it now doesn't load any of the .kexts? I have run updateextra, which should rebuild the cache for the kexts but it has made no difference

 

any ideas?

 

(original message is below)

 

 

Hi,

I was playing with the app in /Applications called OSx86Tools, and saw it had a Modify About this Mac option. I played with it, but then ended up setting everything to default anyway.

 

But on restarting it gave a panic error saying Unsupported CPU: family.

 

I managed to run it by setting a boot option of

 

arch=i386 recovery=y

 

(and have actually edited com.apple.boot.plist and under kernel flags, added that line)

 

but because of recovery=y, none of the kexts are run, so i have no wifi etc.

 

any idea how to go about fixing this?

 

From what i've worked out recovery=y means no kexts are loaded. so if it runs when kexts are not allowed to run, it must be an error with one of them.

could i just delete some kexts? (theres two related to cpuid)

is it safe to do so?

 

edit - the error is

panic(cpu 0 called 0x1b3501c3): "Unsupported CPU: family = 0x6, models = 0x1c, stepping = 0x2"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-105.13/pmProcessor.c:210

 

Lower down it says something about Darwin Kernal being 10.7.0... but im running snow leopard

 

 

EDIT - i think i may have originally run updateextra but then quit it when it crashed. I ran it again, after a while it did it, now i can restart without recovery=y or arch=i386.... but wifi isnt working... any idea what to do?
