spiffyfitz Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 After getting fedup with Windows, I decided osx86 would seem great on my Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. I've never put it on there before and I was expecting the keyboard and trackpad not to work, like most other people with the same model. Of course, the keyboard and trackpad do not work, and every time I reboot i get the error: The system extension "/system/library/extensions/appleAC97Audio.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. I also get the same error a few more times for some other relevant devices, such as ApplePS2Controller. I've been searching for a few hours, trying little things. i repaired permissions and checked to see if they were even in the System/Library/Extensions folder, and they are all there... but something must still be wrong! Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiffyfitz Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks! That worked perfectly! Well, except now I have two network devices that need tending to... One is an internal Ethernet thing, it's grayed out in the network adapter list. Another is a (trivial) PCMCIA wifi card which uses an ADMtek chipset. It doesn't light up when plugged in, so mac os probably wants a driver for the PCMCIA bus along with the ADMtek card. I'll do some more searching...
