genofloresaz Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 EDIT: I've managed to figure this out. cd /Volumes/XXX/PATH TO FOLDER WHERE KEXT(S) ARE/ where XXX is the name of the volume in which the kexts are placed cp -r XX.kext /volumes/XXX/System/Library/Extensions WHERE XX is the name of the kext, and XXX is the name of your volume where the kexts need to be NOTE: If your volume name contains any spaces use quotes EXAMPLE: /volumes/"Macintosh HD"/System/Library/Extensions I've successfully installed iAtkos S3 V2 but, it boots to a blank screen, but I can hear the "Staying Alive" song so I know the installation is fine, but my graphics kext isn't installed, so, I have the kext file I need, but how can I install it without actually being into OS X? Can I do so through Terminal from the DVD? if so, what are the commands? The kext files is placed on my Windows partition. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292554-how-do-i-install-a-kext-from-terminal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomahawk1 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There is a tool for this at Tonym.. ((okay, sorry, I was not aware of the TM problem before)). With it you can install Kext files and run System Utilities on to another volume than your startvolume. Well, I have tried the Terminal approach, but I am not used to Terminal and so could not make it work. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292554-how-do-i-install-a-kext-from-terminal/#findComment-1952580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskantraveler Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I know this is a little late, but: Boot her up and type " -v -f -F cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386" at the prompt. If it doesn't work, then come back and tell us, and I will go through my notes on this stuff and see what else we can do to freak out your computer for you. (Cheshire cat grin inserted here!)

Leonike Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi there, I get a kernel-panic after updating OSX 10.6 on an aspire one zg5. It's just a guessing..but maybe it's the intel graphics somehow. So I thought I might take this alternative driver from here and install it in terminal but I just don't know how. The last lines of kernel-panic read: PFM64 0xfffffff10000001, 0xf0000000 [ PCI configuration begin ] (Not sure with the numbers of diggits though) So I googled around ("crash PFM64") and found something about graphics. I tried all possible kernel-commands: npci=0×2000 -x -v GraphicsEnabler=NoIGPEnabler=Yesdarkwake=0 ...but no success. Somebody please help.

Leonike Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I just reinstalled everything. Didn't know updating is not possible in one step. My problem now: There are dozens of tutorials howto update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.7/8 but I need update from 10.6 to 10.6.3 first.... How can I do that?
