Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You need to enable the root user and login as root to allow you to copy over the .kext file. There are a couple of ways to enable the root user. The easiest way is to open Terminal (Select Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type: sudo passwd root Enter a password to enable root access. The way I did it and what is probably a harder way is this: Open NetInfo Manager in the Utilities folder in your Aplications folder. Click the lock to make changes, enter your password. Choose on the top menu Security > Enable Root User (note: if you do not have this option root user is already enabled, if not choose Enable Root User.) Close NetInfo Manager. Log out by going to Apple menu. Log back in with username:root, and the password for root user you set up when you installed OSX. Log In. You now have access to everything; just be careful — you could really mess up your system.. Then you copy the AppleAC97Audio.kext file from Darwin to the /System/Library/Extensions folder and reboot. You should be safely able to Disable the Root User's access and enjoy your new Intel MAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
