Hello!

 

As I understand with my little knowledge the lines below (taken from system.log) shows that there is something wrong with some kexts.

The history of this was quite simple. I have installed Kalyway's 10.5.1 on my laptop. After install I booted and get kernel panic. I booted in verbose mode and from the loglines I realized, that the IONetworkFamily.kext had caused conflicts which got me to the kernel panic in the first boot. So I deleted it from /System/Library/Extensions and my system booted to the desktop.

 

Next step I opened a backuped (before deleting) IONetworking.kext file so to write there device-vendor info. My Ethernet card's vendor id is 14e4 and device id is 165e (it's Broadcom netxtreme BCM5705). Under the IONetworking.kext I found my AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext file inside that, in info.plist file, I inserted my device's info in the IOmatch key. So everything as explained in many tutorials.

Now after reboot I see this message. System continues to boot, and it boots fine till the desktop.

In the System preferences, of course, there are no ethernet connections.

 

So, what is there is the log actually? And how to solve it?

 

Thank you.

I have the same built-in ethernet controller as you (Broadcom NetExtreme Ethernet BCM5705). I have installed Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 with no problems except for no internet and USB not mounting external hard drives.

 

My question to you is did you happen to get leopard to recognize your Broadcom NetExtreme Ethernet BCM5705 controller and be able to access the internet? If you did can you let me know what steps you did to fix this?

 

I really appreciate it!
