Type this in terminal:

ls -l /usr/bin/su

Reply back with what it says.

-r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48160 Nov 29 2007 /usr/bin/su

Hmm it it were to have said -r-xr-xr-x then we should have been able to type "sudo chmod 4555 /usr/bin/su" but since it doesnt I am not too sure. Type

Code:

which su

and tell me what it says.

eemerge · #14 01-10-2009, 05:42 PM

/usr/bin/su

Everything looks correct. Try typing (pressing enter after each line):

Code:

sudo -s
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
diskutil repairpermissions /

If it gives you the same error, make sure /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext has been deleted and go to Disk Utility and select Repair Permissions. Then reboot with -v -f

so far so good...its now fixing permissions ... im waiting , no more operation permitted when doing the commands one by one..
The final result is:

Code:

Started verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s1 disk0s1

Group differs on "home", should be 20, group is 0
Group differs on "net", should be 20, group is 0

p.s. i just checked for Extensions.mkext , is there..should i delete it?

lanceomni · #17 01-10-2009, 06:03 PM

Yes delete it right before you reboot. You can use this command provided you have not exited Terminal:

Code:

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

If it gives you problems then try:

Code:

sudo -s
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Remember to use -v -f when you reboot.
-v Verbose Mode
-f Forces OSX to pull drivers from the Extensions folder and not the cache file. I know we just deleted the cache file but its still a good idea.

I did a little research on your card and found a few others having the same issue. Do you know the model & Manufacturer of your card?

Lets give NVkush a try. There is a link to it in my signature http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/

Follow the previous instructions of removing related graphics drivers and then drop NVkush.kext into your /System/Library/Extensions folder.

Code:

sudo -s

Code:

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

Code:

diskutil repairpermissions /

Code:

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Reboot with v -f

NVinject & NVkush have worked out of the box for most of the projects i have done. Others have had success with EFI strings though Ive never messed with it. Ill point someone to this post if NVkush doesnt work for you.
