Isnt it possible to create this kext by myself?

LawlessPPC 12-13-2008 03:18 PM

your chipset is not supported by my distro you need to get the right kext (driver) for your chipset. If you are up to it look at the boot-132 methods as you can get it to load kexts up b4 the dvd starts this would save you having to make or edit my distro

Where from should i get the kext?

did you look through the thread at the link I posted earlier... I'll keep my eye open as well for it but you need to read through that thread and try to extract that kext somewhere within it.

nfoav8or... yes i dit but:
1. isnt it just for Intel CPUs?
2. I dont speak english natively so i have a lot of problems understanding that, i'll try but i think it'll take a lot of time :'(


*edit*
I downloaded CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php. First thing i noticed is that it says the chipset would be an nForce 720a. But i do have a 730a. Could it be that windows is using the 720a driver?

he is going to need a working OS X system to install the boot-132 method in order for his chipset to be supported.

@ KingBecks -
1. yes its for intel... I stated that above. I also said you should be able to look through and find the kext used... this nForce series 7 kext is the same throughout Intel / AMD.
2. Don't worry about it. we'll work through it :)

for your edit... cpu-z might not be able to distinguish between them... windows handles these chipset drivers a little differently than OS X. a good chart-flow diagram can be found over at pcwizcomputer.com (along with a lot of other really good info)... this helped a few people understand their systems a little better. the direct link was posted here in the forums (can't find it now).

also, thanks for the complete specs. it helps.

you mean this one? http://code.google.com/p/darwin-ata/...t.zip&can=2&q=

nfoav8or 12-15-2008 10:36 PM

hmm... I'll look into it. I'm skeptical because of the lack of documentation or intro that states compatible systems.

KingBecks 12-18-2008 09:42 PM

So what now? How do i have to integrate this kext? Do i have to burn it onto the cd or what? :-|
