If this is a clean install make sure you install your kexts at this time. (iv) Did the AsusDSDT/Read step 6 which says: 2.2/BIOS 3301/ATI:AMD DSDT/On Board Audio/DSDT.aml) (iii) Did the AsusDSDT/ReadMe step 3 (copied the DSDT, ie the Asus DSDT/DSDT/R4E DSDT Ver. (ii) Did the AsusDSDT/ReadMe step 1 (copy the Extra folder over) (i) downloaded the AsusDSDT.zip and opened it
#KEXT UTILITY YOSEMITE DRIVERS#
Install any other drivers that may have been removed from the upgrade that you need and if I support your motherboard please see the appropriate support page pertaining to your motherboard Ok!!! So I have a mostly working system!! So for others that are following along I came to Step 4.8 in your instructions: I have looked around on the myHack forums and also here. (I have previously managed to install Lion using your method and UniBest and MultiBeast, and am using the same BIOS settings as I previously used for my Lion hackintosh….) This is with the boot string: -v -npci=0x2000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No However, I am having trouble booting from this drive. I have made a MyHack boot thumb drive on a 16G pen drive according to the instructions. I have disconnected all of my other drives except for small 80G SSD which I was going to do a test install on before I switch over. I am now trying to install MountainLion via your: MyHack+RampageDev DSDT’sĪnd my ML download from the AppStore is: “Install OS X Mountain Lion.app v 1.3.19” If you see something that looks suspicious or out of date, even though it was signed and is active, you may want to investigate whether it's really required and contact the developer for guidance.I havn’t checked in for a while but it looks like things are going well on the site here!! Without going to too much effort, the kextstat command can be used to show you which non-Apple kernel extensions to the OS have been loaded. The extension needed for Logitech mice, keyboards, trackballs, etc.The extensions needed for Intego Virus Barrier.Without going into more detail, what I learned is that of all the extensions in my system, the only non-Apple ones that got loaded were the ones that I definitely want.
#KEXT UTILITY YOSEMITE UPDATE#
It looks like the first number in parens is the version number, and that could well be a clue about whether one needs an update if there wasn't an automatic update process in place.

#KEXT UTILITY YOSEMITE HOW TO#
I am still learning how to interpret the output of kextstat. In my case, (a simplified version of) the result showed only four non-Apple extensions. Unless you specify a full path, that text file will go into the root of your home directory. If you want to write that list out to a text file for examination, enter, for example, kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple > NonAppleKext.txt The -v option says, "show everything but those items that contain the string that follows." For example: kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple If you want to see non-Apple extensions, you can pipe the list to the "grep -v" command. There will be lot from Apple, and those are all okay. (The terminal app is found in /Applications/Utilities.) kextstat -l In a terminal window, the following command will show you all the kernel extensions that are active. (No matter where they reside in the OS X file system.) Apple has its own kernel extensions, and the file name starts with "com.apple." Third party extensions will start with, for example, "com.logitech." Next, I discovered a nifty command line utility called kextstat that can be used to show which kernel extensions have been actually loaded by OS X at bootup. Starting with Yosemite, kernel extensions must be code signed by the developer with Apple authorization or OS X won't load them.Kernel extensions are generally stored in /System/Library/Extensions.Instead, I should have started fresh from a factory installed version of Mavericks, which is what it shipped with, and then reloaded all my software and licences.
#KEXT UTILITY YOSEMITE ARCHIVE#
Back in 2014, when the Mac Pro arrived, I loaded it with a Time Machine archive from the previous iMac. I wondered what the differences would be between the kernel extensions on the MacBook and the Mac Pro. I started thinking about that when the new MacBook showed up. The kernel typically manages I/O requests, and in OS X, the file ends in ".kext." In the past, kernel extensions that conflicted with the kernel code could cause a kernel panic-a fatal halt in the OS requiring a reboot. I'll be showing a very simple UNIX command, and then we're done.įirst, you may be wondering: "What is a kernel extension?" This is code that extends the capability of the base kernel of an operating system.

It's easy to identify them with just a simple command in the terminal.ĭon't worry, I don't know enough yet to make this how-to very complex. If you've been continuously upgrading OS X instead of doing a clean install at each release, you may be wondering what kernel extensions are still lingering in place.
