aussieoc Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hello, I have a P4 3.0G hackintosh and for some reason I can not mount any .dmg image files. It keeps on saying device not configured. I've tried loading them through Disk Utilities and I receive the same message. I'm running JaS 10.4.8 with koolkal kernel pack intel 1048 & 1049. I was to open the .dmg file on my G5 then copy the folder from there to my Hackintosh and run the program. Is this an issue because of the P4 none SSE3 support? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntsmkfob Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If you search the forums, you'll find others with this problem and the solutions, which I think is to downgrade kernel.kext to 10.4.8 version.

Schweppes Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 To get working in 10.4.9 you need to use 10.4.8 System.kext. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/#findComment-346158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathman Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 If your using a 8.8.1 kernel you need the system.kext from 10.4.8, If your using a 8.9.1 kernel you need the 10.4.9 system.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/#findComment-346656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky dv9064 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well I'm a litte smarter now I took the system.kext from a friend's hackintosh running 10.4.8 and recplaced it with mine... Booted up and the apple logo kept op spinning forever. Rebooted only to get my verry first kernel panic. I tried putting the file back but it keeps telling me their is is acpi driver available... I'm reinstalling it as we speak. I hope it goes a little smoother this tome ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/#findComment-349862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperNL Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Dear all, My problem is fixed, I'm running 10.4.9 with the NetKas 8.9.1 kernel. I replaced my (old) 10.4.8 System.kext with Apple's 10.4.9 System.kext (attached). - Copy the System.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ - Repair permissions - Check the current owner and mod of the file using ls -al /System/Library/Extensions/ | grep System.kext The output should look like this: drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Apr 18 23:51 System.kext Important is the owner/group (it should be root wheel) and rightmod (it should be drwxr-xr-x). If the owner/group or the rightmod is incorrect, DO NOT reboot, first correct it using 'chmod' and 'chown'. I hope this is helpfull !

My tutorial is for Mac OS X 10.4.9 with a 8.9.1 kernel (tested it with both the Binary Hacked NetKas kernel and two versions of the compiled NetKas kernel).. I presume your hack is running again by placing back the old system.kext?

schinckel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I found that even after replacing the system.kext I still couldn't mount DMG or iPod. I removed the system.kext and copied a new one there, and it worked. I suspect that there are extra files in the newer (10.4.9) system.kext, and a cp -R copies files to within a directory, which means it leaves the newer files there that aren't in the older system.kext. I can't check, as I don't have the newer system.kext on my system. Update: I've extracted and compared the two kexts, and there is only one difference in file sizes: the file System.kext/PlugIns/BSDKernel.kext/BSDKernel, which is 50900 bytes in the older package, and 50928 in the newer. I may write a script that compares whole packages, file by file, and reports differences. That might be interesting, and useful for future upgrades.

franky dv9064 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Is their a way to prevent this from happening again if I upgrade to 10,4,9 ? I'm running 10.4.8 now but since I'm a post windows user I'm not comfortable not running the newest update Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/#findComment-354650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
five04 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I had the same problem and replaced the file per the instructions above but got a kernel panic. I'm holding off on reinstalling until my new hard drive arrives tomorrow, but once I reinstall and upgrade to 10.4.9, how can I avoid this problem? Shouldn't the 10.4.9 update replace the file with the correct one by default or does the JaS update leave the 8.8.1 kernel? Also, are there any advantages to keeping the 8.8.1 kernel? I consider getting image files and external devices to mount a pretty big necessity.

hazar Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 KasperN, it seems you posted System.kext from 8.8.1 kernel. Some files in kext package reports 8.8.0 version. And after install kernel panic occurs. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48287-can-not-mount-dmg/#findComment-372625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperNL Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 KasperN, it seems you posted System.kext from 8.8.1 kernel. Some files in kext package reports 8.8.0 version. And after install kernel panic occurs. The file I uploaded is the one which ships with Apple's (unmodified) 10.4.9 combo-updater. You can/should only use this one if you run a 8.9.x kernel. If you use a 8.8.x kernel please use the System.kext from the 10.4.8 Updater. If you don't trust my ZIP you should download the full 10.4.9 Combo-updater and extract the System.kext with Pacifist.

hazar Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hmmm... KasperNL, I just open file "version.plist" in .kext you provided and see this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BuildVersion</key> <string>1</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>8.8.0</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>8.8.0</string> <key>ProjectName</key> <string>xnu</string> <key>SourceVersion</key> <string>7921206</string> </dict> </plist> Then I compare it with same file, I found in my System.kext, which I get after installing 10.4.9 AMD update by Myzar: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BuildVersion</key> <string>1</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>8.9.1</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>8.9.1</string> <key>ProjectName</key> <string>xnu</string> <key>SourceVersion</key> <string>7921815</string> </dict> </plist> I don't want to say I don't trust you, I want to find solution. Maybe this all because of AMD. By the way, after installing koolkal's 1049 kernel there's no problems with mount anymore. And system.kext from 10.4.9 AMD update by Myzar attached.
