Is there a post you could point us to on how to achieve this ?
THX,
Peter
ill do better - ill give you a graphical walkthrough
disclamer: im a *nix junky, so this is my rant.
--------
this is the
EASIEST way. finder is for people who buy actual macs. dont bother with any other way, as we all know finder does
weird things, doesnt have correct permissions, adds hidden .files and generally messes things up outside your /Users directory. [in my jaded biased experience]
so heres the way i would
HIGHLY recommend as its the least invasive and most user friendly [as opposed to using a # prompt and vim]
after this, just run multibeast to repair kext's permissions and reboot. if you need to know your device ID and vendor ID, load your iboot CD, and just boot the retail DVD. if you dont know, iboot uses a modified open source darwin kernel from BSD, thats been extensively patched to allow all sorts of hardware to work, so if you open your system properties, you should see the correct hex regardless of whether the name shows up correctly or not.
also, the kexts and .bundles in my /s/l/e/ are from apple itself, so if you've made any kind of file swapping, you're probably going to need to reformat and start over unless you can find the exact version numbers i posted. i tried ripping out the whole lot from the retail 10.6.8 kexts from the nvidia website and it immediately KPed my whole system. [which forced me to have to reformat]
11B26 10.7.1 -- im running
nothing beta, no 10.7.2 -- none of it. [why you would want to also is beyond me.]
