Datou Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm runing iATKOS 1.0ir2 on thinkpad T60, there is battery meter during install, but after i boot form HD, battery meter is gone, why? How can I get it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolav Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 This is probably related to AppleACPIPlatform.kext. When trying to fix my PCCard port, I replaced some kexts from Tiger 10.4.8 (JaS), and as a side effect I also got the Battery Meter back. The kexts I replaced (from 10.4.8) are: AppleACPIPlatform, AppleAPIC, IOACPIFamily, IOPCIFamily, (and modified IOPCCardFamily, probably not needed for Battery Meter). If you don´t replace those 4 corresponding kexts, you will be risking kernel panic and unbootable system. (But try, maybe not all is needed) You could also try to search the iATKOS install DVD for a more recent AppleACPIPlatform. But when I tried that, I found that the kexts are not in the usual location (/System/Library/Extensions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datou Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have checked APPLESMBIOS.KEXT.NETKS3 during installing, so my T60 support sleep now. Could you zip your 4 kexts and send them to me? My email is 2simple@gmail.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolav Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Haven´t setup my mail in OSX yet, so I´ll just attach them here. Maybe it will be useful for someone else too. Btw: Using kext_helper when messing with the kexts makes life easy. Tiger_Kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datou Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 After using kexthelper to replace these 4 kexts, battery meter is back! Thanks a lot, Trolav! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolav Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 There´s another solution I´ve found at Uphuck Forums, where you only have to replace AppleACPIPlatform.kext as was my suspicion. I haven´t tested it myself yet because I need those old kexts for my PCCard to work. http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/showthread.php?t=735 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
