meesterexx Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 *SOLVED* Thanks to Moderator Colonel for the quick fix. It was indeed the debug option turned on in the Info.plist of the forcedeth-nockd kext that caused the problem. Changing the true value to false and properly chown/chmod-ing the file solved the problem. Thanks again Colonel for the working driver and the debug fix! Original post===================================================== Noob to osx86 here. Just installed jas 10.4.8. AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3. I have: asus a8n-vm csm / Athlon64 3200+ 1024mb ddr400 bfg 7900gs pci-e 256mb I tried the regular forcedeth and forcedeth-nockd kexts, but they didn't work. Then I tried the forcedeth-nockd.kext from Colonel in this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=10649 It works fine, but I get a TON of these messages repeated every second in my /var/log/system.log: May 11 16:22:46 magics-computer kernel[0]: forcedeth: packet 80000000 - 8000062e After only a few minutes, my system.log is over 30mb. I noticed in the Info.plist that debug is on. Could this cause it? If so, how do I properly edit the Info.plist? (I was able to display it using cat): magic$ cat Info.plist<?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>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>English</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>forcedeth</string> <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string></string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.triton.forcedeth</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>forcedeth</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>KEXT</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>1.0.0d2</string> <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>nForce 4 LAN</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.triton.forcedeth</string> <key>ChecksumReceive</key> <false/> <key>ChecksumTransmit</key> <false/> <key>Debug</key> <true/> <key>IOClass</key> <string>com_triton_forcedeth</string> <key>IOKitDebug</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>IOMatchCategory</key> <string>nForce4 LAN</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x026910DE</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> <key>IOResourceMatch</key> <string>IOKit</string> <key>IRQTimer</key> <true/> <key>MultipleSegments</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> <key>OSBundleLibraries</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily</key> <string>1.0.0b1</string> <key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key> <string>1.0.0b1</string> <key>com.apple.kernel.iokit</key> <string>1.0.0b1</string> <key>com.apple.kernel.libkern</key> <string>1.0.0b1</string> <key>com.apple.kpi.bsd</key> <string>8.0.0b1</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> If not the debug, what is causing so many of these messages in system.log? I am worried about exponential growth of the log file. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meesterexx Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Update: Still not sure what is causing it, but if I sudo rm -R /var/log/system.logsudo touch /var/log/system.log then the file stops growing. It's like the initial loading of the kext causes a looping of messages to the log, then removing/recreating the log stops it. I would still like to solve this, removing then recreating the log is not really a graceful solution for such an elegant OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycle Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I also got this working on my A8N-VM CSM board, FWIW. Many thanks, Colonel and OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
