Thanks guys! I'll give you a full list of the options I used in a few hours time when I get home. But for now :-
1. Which would be best to do? Install the disabler kext or the voodoo kernel (or both?) 2. How do I do this (or do you have a link to instructions?) Sorry if I seem like a complete tard but I've been tainted by micro(EVIL)soft, and the only other os I've really used are commodores! Lol |

The M2A-VM HDMI system runs excellent but no Hardware Video and the freezings for the package extraction. Which makes me remember, I never tried with less than 4GB RAM. Here goes... I'll post later. Edit: Ok cool! I left in only 2GB and the Package patcher worked to the end. Made an image of the drive so I can restore. Now to UPDATE!

then once in the os you can use kexthelper to install the disabler kext and make a copy of backup and then call it mach_kernel to replace the old kernel. Then repair permissions for the drive. ![]() |

ok, it's installed and onto the section where you select keyboard layout, then if you want to transfer files from another mac. I select the "do not transfer my information now" option and click continue but it just goes back to the beginning :s
I've got the voodoo kernel (it's a dmg file) how do I use this? I know it's an apple image, but how do I access it to get the kernel? And how do I copy the kernel to the drive with mac is on? Sorry bout this, just I have little knowledge of macs so far and can't figure it out! Ok, managed to get it going! ![]() CPU : Phenom 9950 BE running at 2.6Ghz MB : Asus M3A Mem : OCZ Reaper 2GB 1066Mhz Graphics : Palit Nvidia 9800 GT 1GB PSU : ColorsIT 650w IDE : WD 20GB SATA : Seagate Baracuda 500GB Last edited by TransientMotion; 02-09-2009 at 11:28 PM. |

Closer to Joy
Still running my Lawless installed, it's the only distro that boots and installs on my M2A-VM HDMI. Seems installing the AppleVIAATA.kext from the Slashack post cured the freezes with the 8GB RAM, But I can't see my PATA Drives (1 HD,
1 Pioneer DVR116). Not too big an issue, an enclosure via USB2.0 works well, and I don't have my NTFS Drives read/write - my Vista partition was trashed once. Also after patching the 10.5.6 Combo update package, "USB kexts fail load and show up yellow and I get still waiting on root device". Any ideas? |
