Hello to this great community...i've a "problem" after installing some kexts. But i want to start explaining what has happened step by step.
I set up a new build with an Asus X99-E-Ws + 5960x+64gb ddr4 and a titanx card. The main purpose of this setup is as audio workstation.
I own a firewire startech card natively supported by OSX (infact it works OTB with Mavericks in my previous build!).
I installed Yosemite 10.10.5.....everything work fine with clover bootloader etc. But when i installed any drivers for my firewire audio card or keyboards, the peripherals weren't recognized by the system. So i checked in system info and at firewire device the windows was blank. So my fw card was not recognized.
I checked in Extensions dirs and i didn't find any FW*.kext so i took those kext from my Yosemite USB installer :
AppleFWAudio.kext and other 4 IOFW*.kext. They had hidden attributes ( i used Showallfiles to see them in the correct dir!) and i installed them with kextwizard.
I restarted and finally my fw card was recognized and peripherals work perfectly.
But at OSX boot i've a message showing "Failed to Initialize" so maybe one of the 5 kext give me that msg.
How i can remove hidden kext? I checked extensions dir and the 5 FW kext i installed have still hidden attributes and if i try to delete them manually at restart they are still in the dir. So i want to remove all of them and see which of them gives me that "failed to initialize" error message.
Any help is appreciated...
Hi, did you have to modify any of the attributes in the kexts? if so which ones?
I have a 100% compatible FW card but my system does not recognize it, any help will be much appreciate it.
