manuel Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, I'm stuck at the installation of OSX. The Kernel does not detect my harddisk so I want to install the nforce driver from my usb stick. But I have a strage problem: there is no /System/Library/Extension -Directory even mkdir /System/Library/Extension does not work: Read-only file system Now I cannot copy the Nforce Driver form my usb stick to /System/Library/Extension. Can anybody tell me how to install the driver? Thanks for your effort.

Can anybody tell me how to install the driver? Thanks for your effort. Manuel I assume you're trying to do this from Terminal from the Boot DVD? If so, I had exactly the same problem yesterday - there was no /System/Library/Extension. I closed terminal and opened diskutility. Then I went back to terminal and /System/Library/Extension was there! Sorry I don't have a solution, but i'd try again if I were you.

manuel Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 hmm, did you keep the diskutility window open (if so, how did you do this) or did you close it? if you closed it it doesn't work for me...

Guest Ramm Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Question: Why would there be a System/Library/Extensions if the OS isn't even installed yet? You'd have to do it after the install...

manuel Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Sorry, I'm new to MacOS. I thought this is a standard directory which should already exist before the installation. But how can I install MacOS without any chipset driver (without the nforce driver I cannot access my harddrive at the installation)?
