Tengokuu Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I just completely replaced all the kexts again. Still black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3ct0r Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 These are my /Extra/ and /System/Library/Extensions folders; I have most things working. The only problem I can think of now is that the "nub" doesn't work (though I'm sure there are more)... Our systems are identical (if you're signature is up to date). The only thing that is different is your wifi card and the fingerprint reader. Try backing up your folders and replacing them with mine. Just remember to include your wifi kext and don't forget to repair permissions. Sorry about the big file size; Mountain Lion's kexts are pretty big! http://db.tt/CE0FG8gD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the fingerprint swipe doesn't work no matter what with OS X, I guess it's just there for show, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3ct0r Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm having a problem restoring WiFi - what are you using? I am using an external wifi card (Hawking USB Adapter - HWUG1/RT73) What Wi-Fi card do you have? Also, the fingerprint swipe doesn't work no matter what with OS X, I guess it's just there for show, lol. The fingerprint reader may be able to work for you; I have a Lenovo T61 with a fingerprint reader. Check out AuthenTec Truesuite for mac (It's free; all you need is the software, not the fingerprint reader itself)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Tengokuu, After giving it some thought, I believe the WiFi problem is related to the bootloader Chameleon. Different versions have their own quirks. Patel4Prez used the M4300 bootpack with it's bootloader, exchanging only Mariusz' DSDT.aml to eliminate needing to add the GraphicsEnabler=Yes boot flag. You used the Lion version of the E6400/E6500 bootpack, which I later reverted to after seeing your success with it. Shortly after that, my WiFi broke and you had reported the same issue. Different versions of Chameleon play differently with kexts and bundles. I will try to re-create my bootstick, see what we get and maybe we can assemble a working ML bootpack for this model.

My previous attempts to install Truesuite have been met with the message that the software can't find the reader, thus it won't work. After we get ML up and running properly, I want to see if I can make it recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Tengokuu, Did you resolve your Black Screen issue? I have resolved the Wi-Fi issue by dropping a IO80211Family.kext into Extra and running a full My Fix. Upon reboot you will see the familiar WiFi icon in the menu bar. You will need to go into network and reset it, but it's back working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truesuite doesn't work by the way. I've tried it, and it failed. Reading the E6400/E6500 thread, it appears OS X doesn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have been diverted recently, but it appears most things are working well. I haven't tried sleep yet, I've had to re-install a couple of times and want to avoid that if possible, so I want to do it when there are minmal distractions. I'm going to attempt iLife and iWork also to see if they cause any issues. If I can help you with anything, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
