I have installed but it doesnt boot. I think its probably my hardware. I have
processor : AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (MMX (+), 3DNow! (+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64) northbridge: NVIDIA nForce4 rev. A3 southbridge : NVIDIA nForce4 MCP rev. A3 graphics card : GeForce 6500. Forgot to include I have SATA drives. I have just installed the kext for NVinject but it didnt change anything! Can someone please help? |
what kind of "not booting" is it ?
HFS+ Partition error ? or stands still at Darwin load?? a screenshot would be great . (digicam) |
Tried taking a picture and I think I may have broke my phone : ( Not the best day I have had!
Been trying to get something from the log files but can see anything relevant. Can you suggest. |
Just put the AppleNForceATA.kext in the Extensions dir and it still doesnt work! Seems like it failing at this point.
Any ideas? |
Did you repair permissions ?
Did you recreate the kextcache ? |
Thanks for replying zephyroth.
I moved a kext from the Extensions directory which appeared to causing the problem. Cant remember the what it was exactly something like applendes .... I dont know I cant remember. Anyway it seems to have got a bit further and its picked up my graphics card but then say... DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. ..... Maybe this is the applendes.... Maybe it stands for directory service. I dont know. Anyway I have repaired permissions. Allow when I done this and re-run it, it says something else is wrong with the filesystem!!!! I havent recreated the kextcache. Dont know how to do that. Will have a look on the net. |
kextcache -a i386 -e :)

Cheers for that roisoft : )
That file I mentioned earlier. It wasnt anything like applendes. I was NVDAResma.kext!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is this file Just put it back in the extensions dir and falls over like it did previously. Anyway I am still getting: DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. What are the exact commands that I need to do: clear the kext cache repair permissons then finally create the kext cache again? I presume this is the correct order? |
yes

Still isnt working!

I have moved all the GeForce kext from the Extensions dir. That didnt make a difference. : ( What does it mean when it displays DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. DirectoryService: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. All the time? |
Does it log the output to a file when it boots? That would be useful : )))))

see my post <b><a href="http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=80834&st=0&p=595576&#entry5955 76">here</a></b>. its a set by step and should help you if you are having trouble and have a similar system.
my specs. Dell Inspiron 531 Hacintosh Athlon64x2 4000+ @ 2.1Ghz NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE (MCP61/nForce430 kext change from MeDevil) 3GB DDR2 SDRAM @667MHz 250GB S-ATA @7200 rpm 160GB S-ATA @7200 rpm (Zephyroth-10.5.1 installed) CDRW/DVD & DVDRW - SATA 500GB external USB-IDE @7200 rpm 250GB external USB-IDE @5400 rpm 120GB external USB 2.5" @5400 rpm (TuB-10.4.10 installed) |
Thanks for that nfoav8or. I havent seen people putting kexts on the desktop before! I think I understand what you are doing but not sure why?
I think I have done what you mentioned in the link. What build was this on? Was it Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD? |
I havent mentioned that I already have installed mac os 10.4.8 installed on another partition.
When I fixed this, I downloaded the AppleNForceATA(it looks like from medievil) package from the internet. I unpacked it and it just worked : ) I think the package had stuff from Natit & Titan. Although I have never been quite happy with the installation because the applications have never worked properly!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Managed to get a dump of dmesg. I have attached system.txt. Please help!!!!! It does look like AppleNForceATA found 0 units but previously it found units. Dont understand this!
Also I notice that Matching service count = 2 repeats a number of times. We I run mac os x 10.4.8 this count doesnt stop at 2. Any ideas? |
Can nobody help me out with this then?
