acidizer Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) Hello all. This is my first post arround here, so lets go to it. I used an image on JAS 10.4.6 with my old computer: MSI MSI K8MM-V mobo Nvidia geforce 4 mmx 440 se 1gb DDR AMD Sempron 2800+ 20gb Seagate HD The install went ok, no problems at all. I edited the HFS+ things on the HD, and it is booting correctly. The big issues are: -I have no USB ports -I can't use the onboard Ethernet adapter. -Can't have any sound at all because I haven't found drivers for my Tascam US-122 Therefore, should I try to use another Ethernet device? What could I do to solve the USB problem? Thank you all in advance! Edited December 25, 2006 by kondi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidizer Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well, found the kext files reffered on the wiki section and had everything working except the video card but... When rebooting after installing the ethernet driver, the system crashes. The last lines i can see at the prompt are related with nvidia drivers. What can I do to revert this? I don't know if this can be important, but i did the disk repair permissions, and it detected that the winks had changed permissions. What should i do?

Apple Freak Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 If it crashes every time you reboot, you have to delete the file manually, which you might have to reinstall your system. Then install those Kext again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidizer Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well, I tried to disconnect the nvidia card and use the onboard device and it booted. The same thing happened. After that i ticked the disable at the lan device. Amazingly it booted normally and said i had system extension that could not be used. I followed the instructions at http://www.pinxue.net/mac/viarhine.html cp the ViaRhine.kext to /System/Library/Extensions adjusted the file attributes as: sudo chown -R root:wheel ViaRhine.kext sudo find ViaRhine.kext -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find ViaRhine.kext -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \; and it still keeps the same thing. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axethrower Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I can't help much but I did the same with the ViaRhine.kext and it worked for me ... Did you try without the kext installed in Extensions and just loading it via the "loadvia" file in the zip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 sudo chown -R root:wheel ViaRhine.kextsudo find ViaRhine.kext -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find ViaRhine.kext -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \; and it still keeps the same thing. Did you perform a "cd /System/Library/Extensions" before running the "chown" command? The "sudo find ViaRhine.kext ..." command has a period in it: "sudo find . ViaRhine.kext ..." Boot up and go to Terminal: cd /System/Library sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache cd Extensions sudo chown -R root:wheel ViaRhine.kext sudo chmod -R 755 ViaRhine.kext Then reboot.

acidizer Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Axethrower it didnt work. Rammjet It worked! Thanks!! Now I only have problems with the USB ports: they only recognise the mouse and the keyboard. The soundcard simply wont work(Installed the soundblaster.kext then downloaded the official tascam drivers but nothing happened) I get the following error. Dec 27 21:39:51 zetas-computer kernel[0]: USBF: 149.445 [0x2196a00] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 2 of hub @ location: 0x70000000) I was wondering if i decided to get any of the updates, would I probably have a greater driver support? Thank you all, L.
