Moduliz0r Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi I've started getting two problems loading system extensions lately. When I start up OSX86, I get these messages: The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOHDAFamily.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update. and The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAController.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update. Can anybody help me fix this? This could also be the answer to part of my no audio problem...

Colonel Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Your permissions are incorrect. Open up terminal and paste the following: sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext sudo chmod -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext That should fix the problem.

Moduliz0r Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Thanks, but, chmod to what? I get "usage: chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [# [ n]]] mode|entry file ..." on the chmod. Sorry, I'm a noob at OSX86/any UNIX/UNIX Like systems... Edit: Wait - i've rebooted and had no complaints Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delish Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 if you want todo it without typing in terminal you can download this kext helper it set permissions for your extensions folder, and touch extensions folder, so cache files are rebuild on next boot.
