Brandeeno Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have installed iAtkos 10.6.3 with success, read online to download legacy kernel for the 10.6.8 combo update which I downloaded from Apple installed, didn't reboot, installed the kernel package, and ran the kext wizzard and then rebooted. Everything loaded fine but took away my ethernet. So I went back to 10.6.3 and decided to do somewhat of a slower update, 10.6.6 and work up, lost internet with that. I am for a loss, any suggestions.. My SpecsAcer Aspire X3200 CPU: Tripple core AMD Phenon X3 8400 2100 MHZ (10.5x200) Mboard: Acer Aspire X3200 Chipset Nvidia Geforce 9200, AMD K10 Display: Video Adapter-Nvidia GeForce 8200 3D Accelerator-Nivida GeForce 9200 Multimedia: Audio Adapter Nvidia HDMI MCP78 Storage: IDE Controller: Standard ACHI 1.0 Serial ATA Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Network: Nvidia nForce Networking Controller Modem: Agere PCI SV92EX Soft Modem .

Brandeeno Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 make a backup of your kexts in 10.6.3 then update then restore them after your update Should I try re-installing the legacy kernels or just backup kexts from/System/Library/Extensions then update then restore?

Brandeeno Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 keep backups of the kernel and /S/L/E Ok so I backed up S/L/E to a folder on my desktop. Now, I haven't backed up my kernels before.. I also assume I should use kexts wizard am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
