did you perform all these changes from within safe mode (-x) ?
I had to be sure and make all changes from within safe mode and amend those files using the new kext from MeDevil. Once that was done, you need to make sure to set the permissions correctly using <b>chown</b> and <b>chmod</b>. This was the biggest setback for me. I've reinstalled it many times over just trying to get the whole thing right. That shouldn't be necessary, but if you really want to get things right, thats the route I had to take.

One thing to try... do all of these changes while you are booting up externally. That way you are able to get in and run from within the OS and not worry about possible hangups due to the SATA controller.

I am not using a hard-wire network card. I disabled it in the BIOS and have been using a Broadcom Wi-Fi card (BCM4318) which is supported through the kexts supplied in the cd natively. I will enable my built-in LAN and give it a try. I'll get back to ya. Good luck.
