To ewequeone:
I'm no expert. But Did you reset the atv after installation?

I forgot to thank Davilla also for all his work. thanks to him my Atv is my main media machine. I owe him some money.

Ahh!!! I'm going crazy. I can't find where to donate to this guy (davilla) any help?

I'm not seeing any crystalhd references in there Sad

when have you installed the r156? few minutes after i posted? (if yes, please reinstall the driver with the launcher. i had some small error in the startup script.)
please login to your box an try to load the driver manually

Code:
/sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
post the screen output and the dmesg

- ewequeone - 2010-08-26

Hi Andy,

I installed the driver approximately 10 hours ago, which was quite a while after you've updated it I believe?

I've just tried to reinstall the driver via launcher and I still get the same problem Sad

output from loading driver manually:

-bash-2.05b$ sudo /sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: unable to register module with kernel
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: sending 1 personality to the kernel
-bash-2.05b$

and dmesg output: http://pastebin.ca/1925721

And both times after installing the driver via launcher I did reboot the appletv Smile

Cheers,

Jason.

humm,.. that dmesg is somehow not complete. its the same you posted earlier. no new messages.

please run those 2 commands and post output (i hope they are installed on atvos):

Code:
ioreg -bls

Code:
system_profiler

- andy204 - 2010-08-26

please give the the following information, too:

- login and run /usr/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin and then try to load the kext.
- show me the content of /System/Library/StartupItems/LoadCrystalHD/LoadCrystalHD
- content of /etc/rc.local

- ewequeone - 2010-08-26

that is the right dmesg, I ran it straight after the command you gave above Smile

Ok, interesting, ran the kext enabler and now the kext loads:

-bash-2.05b$ sudo /usr/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin

Done.
-bash-2.05b$ sudo /sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext loaded successfully
kextload: loading personalities named:
kextload: BCM70012
kextload: BCM70015
kextload: sending 2 personalities to the kernel
kextload: matching started for /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
-bash-2.05b$

think I've found the problem form your info above. the LoadCrystalHD file references "/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin" should probably be "/usr/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin"?

Yep, that was the problem Smile

Have edited and rebooted and now it works Smile

Thanks for the assistance andy, greatly appreciated mate. What you have done for the community is appreciated by all Smile

thanks for your help. i missed that error. seems like some people had another turbo enabled in /sbin, so that worked for them.

i fixed the package and uploaded the new version.

thanks again for your assistance

andy204 Wrote:did you install r156 or the r26 version? did you already post a Debug Log somewhere?

I did install the r156 just now and after trying to mixture some things up with what i read later in this tread i now get:

-bash-2.05b$ sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
Password:
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: unable to register module with kernel
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext
kextload: sending 1 personality to the kernel
-bash-2.05b$

And under launcher i only get the svn r33149, has that anything to do with it?
Much appreciating for what your doing Andy and your willingness to help everybody out.
