Ayla Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Hope someone can help. It seems that Leopard doesn't work on my new aluminum iMac 24". After install, the system boots and I just see a white screen. If it's a missing .kext (driver) for the new ATI card, can I just copy it from my install disc to my Leopard install to make it work? If yes (how do I do that, modify my Leopard installation, boot to single user mode or?) Thanks Martin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60933-new-aluminum-imac-24-and-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You probably need to use Pacifist to extract the new kext for the 2600 out of the new iMac Update recently released by Apple.

Ayla Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Do you mean the 9A500n update (I have that)? When I find the kext what do I do with it exactly? Can I modify my current install and how? Or do I need to make a new install disc with the kext on it?

Ayla Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 OK... I got the kext's from the iMac Software Update 1.0 (from the Apple page) and extracted 5 ATI kexts with Pascifist. I put them on a USB stick and booted into single user mode and replaced the kext's on the system. Same error... White screen of death when I boot Please help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60933-new-aluminum-imac-24-and-leopard/#findComment-432473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Did you remove /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and then diskutil repairPermissions / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60933-new-aluminum-imac-24-and-leopard/#findComment-432490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizou Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Did you repair permissions of the kexts you moved in place? chmod -755 /system/library/extensions/*.* and chown root:wheel /system/library/extensions/*.* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60933-new-aluminum-imac-24-and-leopard/#findComment-433013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
