Sp00n: You can either delete Extensions.mkext, or type -f at boot, or even easier, type this into Terminal:

Code:

kextcache -a i386 -K /mach_kernel -m /System/Library/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

Then reboot.

Well i didn't delete the mkext as i couldnt find it so i tried a reboot anyway, rebooted and didnt enter any switches so im not running in safe mode and the bloody thing works!

How awesome is this, lol.

Now i need to get my audio working, I've got a k9agm2 motherboard which has onboard realtek ALC888, i have found alcinject.kext, do i just drop it in to my extensions folder and reboot?

Make sure that you set the permissions correctly etc.

I highly recommend Kext Helper for eay kext installation.

Good Luck & Have fun!

No you need to repair permissions as said earlier

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

installed alcinject via the kext helper, rebooted but no sound still.

I didnt repair the permissions as i thought the programme does it?

If i go to about > advanced and check the extensions it shows alcinject in the list, does that mean its loaded but its the wrong kext?

it certainly means its loaded, and no you don't have to repair permissions if you used kexthelper.
Have you tried audio in all the jack plugs?

Also under system preferences sound do you have any device showing?

Sp00n · #**147** 03-15-2008, 02:50 AM

I have nothing in the system preferences however i loaded a dump file for the alc888 in the hdahelper program and rebooted...

Voila! I have sound, still nothing in the system preferences which i find odd though, but right now this is working perfectly!

This is so awesome.

Can i change it so it says 2GHz AMD 3800+ ? (just being picky now)
