Re: SuperIOFamily kext
Update: I have downloaded the repository for this project and am attempting to compile the kext myself with support for 0x8772 added in. Will update once completed and tested.
No dice. It wants Xcode 3.1 and I'm not reconfiguring the entire project just so I can see a...
If anyone has a pipeline to the developers of this kext, my build is finding an unsupported chip under the ID87x.kext plugin for SuperIOFamily, specifically ID=0x8772.
Is there any way to get this chip added to the kext? I currently have CPU temp, but no fan monitoring on a Dell XPS 8300 i7-2600
Try using the installer first. It will remove any conflicting kexts and that often avoids problems.
Otherwise, in MultiBeast 4.1.0, select Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers > Network > Lnx2Mac's ... (which will just launch the same installer that I directed you to)
Assuming the system is running:
Open a Terminal window
sudo kextunload [kextname] (replace [kextname] with the actual name of the kext)
enter
If it's panicing, boot from the USB thumb drive. Open a Terminal window from the installer, and:
cd /Volumes/[Volume Name]/System/Library/Extensions...
Can anyone recommend a (wired) gigabit network chipset or preferably a PCI-E network adapter that works with 10.7.2 OOB? I'm about at the end of my rope with the onboard BCM 57788. It just doesn't work right using BCM5722D.kext
Sorry. I'm trying to do multiple things and goofed.
The file you are looking for is /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
so: cd /Volumes/[Volume Name]/System/Library
ls
See if there is a file in that directory called extensions
If so, rm -r extensions.mkext
reboot
Yup. Boot from your thumb drive and open terminal (Utilities > Terminal)
in order:
cd /Volumes/[Volume Name]/System/Library/Extensions (replace Volume Name with the name of your system drive)
rm -r [Kext name]
cd .. (type the periods ...)
rm Extensions.mkext*
reboot
