Shaneee Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Put this file in System/Library/Extensions and boot the installer again with -f -v Once installed you will need to put the file on your HDD in the same folder and repair permissions with Disk Utility AppleNForceATA.kext.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try the boot flags and will report soon. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S@Z! Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thank you very much :thumbsup_anim: ....finally now it boots, but I dint install as I didnt backup my data. ( I was trying for it for half a year or so..).But the keyboard and mouse not working (both PS2)..I can control with usb mouse but my keyboard doesnt work. Are you sure that after install I can make my keyboard work..? And also will I need to use the -f and -v bootflags whenever I boot ??

Shaneee Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Try adding USBLegacyOff=Yes to the boot flags to enable your keyboard. You shouldn't have to enter it every time. You can add most stuff to the boot config. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
