Hi, just installed 10.5.2 rev.2 on my system (nForce4, Opteron 185, 8800GT, external USB disk) - works like a charm, just like the previous rev. Thanks Zeph, great work!!
Shutdown is a bit iffy and DVD playback doesn't work, I'm assuming this is to do with my graphics card? Neither are show-stoppers though. Anyway. I installed ext2fsx, I have an internal drive with a NTFS and an ext3 partition. NTFS is read just fine (with ntfs-3g), but on startup I'm told that "the system extension /Library/Extensions/ext2fs.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used". So of course I can't mount my partition with ExtFSManager either. Anyone here seen similar problems? Many thanks, Mike |
for Shutdown problem go to irc.osx86.hu and try the Appleacpi fix reboot/shutdown or another kernel with shutdown fix, for DVD go here and download the new applesmbios and for ext2fs.kext correct the permissions (chmod/chown) or install again using kexthelper.
|
Thanks for the reply! I have no problem with chown'ing... but I downloaded the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from OSx86.hu, and I'm not quite sure how to install it. Do I just copy it over my current files? I don't expect to be spoon-fed, but if you could point me to a place that has some sort of instructions, I'd be really grateful! Thanks in advance for your time, Mike

1. Copy the (new) kext files to /System/Library/Extensions
2. Open the Terminal & type the following Commands (hit enter after each line): sudo -s (-> your root password) sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/[NAME].kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/[NAME].kext rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/Caches reboot Now use -f at boot to force the rebuilding of kext files. |
Thanks for all the help!
Changing the permissions for ext2fs.kext did indeed get it working. Sadly replacing my AppleACPIPlatform.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext didn't work - in fact, they stopped my PS/2 keyboard and mouse from working! Fortunately I had a USB mouse and keyboard lying around, so I copied back my previous kext's. So now I'm back to square one. The shutdown irregularities are not that big a deal, but when I start the DVD Player I get: "There was an initialization error - A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]" Is this something to do with my 8800GT card? Do I need to edit some plists inside a kext maybe? Thanks again whether you are able to help or not, Mike |
did you try the mach_kernel with shutdown fix? do you have CI/QE for your 8800gt ? if so, try with marvin utility, maybe you need some kind of cpuid ...

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported I'm assuming that's the problem. I don't think anyone has got QE working with a 8800GT, or am I wrong? Thanks |
you´re wrong, you need edit the info.plist for nvdaresman, geforce ,NVDAN50hal.kext and put only your device ID,
|
Or as I said in another thread, just follow this little guide:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=91755 got CI and QE working now and therefore DVD playback too! Yay :-D Thanks for the help guys. |
How do you change the permissions to get the kext working? I am getting the same error. Also, where is the kext located on the DVD? In the extensions folder? Please let me know. Thank you very much.
