I uploaded a package for you, download it here.
It contains three extensions:
nForceLAN: very good LAN driver for your chipset, forcedeth will crash while large transfers.
AppleNForceATA: slashack's version with 64bit support for 4 GB RAM
and my version of IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext. Copy them into /System/Library/Extensions of your boot drive, and use these commands:
Code:
sudo -s
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
diskutil repairpermissions /
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
Alternatively you can repair permissions with Disk Utility instead of the diskutil command. Reboot with -f option after the permissions are repaired, and check the network settings.
I also added the kernel packages from Andy and Kalyway, if you're installing the 9.3.0 kernal go after the drive selection into 'Cusstomize' (or what it's called in English) and select the modbin kernel only.
I also downloaded the installer package for the 2900, try it again, and boot in Safe Mode (-x option) after installing.
