yamcha Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble installing ALC889A kext, when I move the kext files into extensions folder a window pops up saying The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/ALCinject.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. My system specs are on my signature, I've fresh installed iATKOS v1.0i. My question is how do i install the kext's successfully, I've also tried using terminal but I can't seem to get it right, I would really appreciate one of your guys' help, I'm lost I've done a lot of searching but still can't get it to work. I just need very simplified instructions for Terminal.

sdelano Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 In terms of that specific error it usually comes about when you copy a kext over to the Extensions folder and it doesnt have the proper permissions. Just chown root:wheel and chmod 755 it and then you can load it using kextload: sudo -s chown root:wheel "insertnamehere" chmod 755 "insertnamehere" kextload -t "insertnamehere" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80793-installing-alc889a-kext-gives-error-system-extension-cannot-be-used/#findComment-572871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
