Tweaking Your System: Get Rid of Restart Kexts & New Chameleon RC4 Development Posted by tmx86 on Friday, January 15, 2010 Chameleon 2.0 RC4 open source development has been fast and furious over the past couple of weeks. I've hardly been…

its out there please give experiences Thanx In Advance LawlessPPC

Ok ive just finished finding all the parts im gonna order and from what i can tell this board has all the kexts i need. If anyone can foresee any problems I'd appreciate the info. lin itx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12081

Ok just to let you all know booted retail osx 10.5.4 performed install then updated via apple software update to 10.5.5 all with no patching thanx to the new kernel! enjoy

Does anybody have any idea of a guaranteed gigabit nic that will support jumbo frames on osx? This has been the nightmare of the century for the past few days. I currently have around me realtek 8168 (on board), realtek 8169 and Intel…

In 10.6.8 can anyone confirm if ati6000.kext is 64 bit only?

just recently installed snow leopard gonna redo tommorow. Will share my reactions as more of my hardware is supported out of the box. Longtime since I've posted but thought it was only worth posting now as had nothing new to share till now

ok seeing as boot times seem to vary so much and even on the same chipsets I think there is some need to find whats causing such big differences. Is it just manufacturers bios causing this. Is it the version of kext being used by some. Is…

having big problems trying to build a pkg that I can use in osinstall.mpkg. So I ask the real genius out there if they can supply me with a 9.3.0 modbin kernel & system kext installer to run within osinstall. I dont want it with any…

Ok this dvd boots on phenom with latest 9.4.0 modbin kernel. The golden rule with this is if it doesnt boot on your machine it wont install full stop. Everything that worked in Zephys previous release is the same the changes are as…

this is probably the only way I can do a poll on this site so if it works please post in this thread if not post in the other. Systems specs would be appreciated. eg chipset, Graphics card sound etc. Whats classed as aYes? If it boots…

ok just a note to say we do have a very underused irc channel. It would be nice if more could join in occasionally. Also a note to new users that need help you may just get that system booting a little sooner by visiting the channel. Just…

Im proposing that we make a sticky thread or a page constructed of hardware thats supported directly by osx with no modifications at all and the hardwares speed ratings. Possibly adding a second one that lists official 3rd party solutions…

does anyone know of a working solution for this on board grx card. Have tried a few solutions best i get is driver initialised and then blank screen like display is completely switched off. Thanx in advance

Ok I have just bought a remote that only cost £5 it works with osx out of the box. The reason being is it get seen a s a usb keyboard. Osx asked me to identify it on pluging in the reciever. So I just closed that window. Functions that…

OSInstall.mpkg is it possible to get the distribution file to run a script. I want it to set permmisions before it exits. This is due to the fact that when running an alcinject installer in the main install it complains on restart that…

ok ive noticed since i have used this appleAtiATA kext i can no longer burn re-writables or format them hmmmmm. The other thing is i can eject disks with the button on the drive now. So back to the 32 bit one i only have 3gb anyway

ever wanted to know what the 775 you so commonly see used after chmod means? Well today i found out after days of trying to work out why i couldnt edit some mp3 tags. I finally found out it was a permissions issue and with the help of the…

OK can someone point me in the right direction where I can find the info on generating a script within an install (PKG). I think I may have it right but need clarification. Also is there a resource for terminal commands. Also what can I…

ok ive been trying to put of asking this because it probably looks a bit dumb but how do I now make a bootable dvd / image to put my distro on LOL! Thanx in advance LawlessPPC

its been down for 2 days are bots being assembled?

sc an.co.uk/Products/Lycom-PE-103-x2-Port-SATAII-3Gbps-PCI-E-Controller-Card-with-NCQ-PC-MAC-Linux This uses the sil3132 chipset so is mac compatible. It says its not bootable on mac but no confirmation as to wether its bootable on pc (i…

has a iphoto type section and reccomendations on tracks seems quicker on cover flow

well i got a nice aluminium keyboard and everytime i plug a usb device in i lose the keyboard annoying as hell. system kext matches kernel etc. ive tried everything but still stumped.

Ok perhaps others have done this and if so please direct me in the right direction but once ive finished my image I considering buildinga very basic site maybe just even ftp for Hack drivers. Which is the easiest way to get version string…

Just out of interest how many Amiga or X Amiga users are there in here. L8rs LawlessPPC

Ok i think the days of the traditional distro are over (well they are for me at least). Since the new kernel for the majority of users the os no longer need to run patched this and that. So what I propose is an DMG of a usb drive eg…

ok was routing about looking inside the freebsd nvidia source code and was interested to find the following // ***** Apple variations #if defined(macintosh) || defined(__APPLE__) # define NV_MACINTOSH # if defined(__MACH__) # define…

Ok i have a ati hd3650 and just got a 26"IIyama monitor and decided to connect my 22" aswell but the problem is it detecting the 26" as the 22" and visa versa any ideas how to swap them round. It doesnt matter which cable i have them on as…

Sorry for anyone who may have been looking for answers to question about my release and for not giving much in the way of support to the community. The reason being theres a lot going on in my private life at the moment. This doesnt really…

Ok real brief does anyone have 10.5.3 working on a phenom system if so whats your secret. I cant manage it and I know of one other user with exact same symptoms as myself. They are on a different chipset so im guessing its either a phenom…

Ok got 1 system running osx 10.5.5 but if i use medialink to watch video on ps3 it keeps hanging and waiting on data as in audio drops out or video will pause. I ve tried different media streaming software. Ive taken router out of the…

this is probably the only way I can do a poll on this site so if it doesnt please work post in this thread if it does post in the other. Systems specs would be appreciated. eg chipset, Graphics card sound etc. Whats classed as aYes? If it…

Just to let ppl know (dont know if I posted this in this forum). Oki Laser printer 5000 series ie 5250 etc are supported. But if you go to OKI's uk site they say there are no drivers. But on the US site the drivers are there *8O) P.S. This…

Why doesn't my avatar show up in discussions? L8rs LawlessPPC

Ok after having a nice working 9850 Phenom install of 10.5.2 i tried to put efi on only to find out that EFI wont work on phenoms. No if I'm right certain kernels are wrote for efi (correct me if im wrong). So any phenom users out there…

is it possible we could have a sticky for EFI files and NonEFI files as this has been a long drawn out process discovering which is which. First I found out there were efi and non efi kernels, then there were efi and non efi…

Im looking for a good sound editing program that will allow time stretching aswell as all the usual cut copy paste without resampling an mp3? Any suggestions would be gr8

ok im trying to get to the info.plist in osinstall.mpkg but cant only open it in pacifist or flat package editor. I cant find or view this file anywhere I think pacifist gives me a visual of the info.plist but not sure I want to edit it to…
