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?

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.

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

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

-bash-2.05b$ sudo /usr/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin
This software is copyright 2008 Turbo (Mike Byrne) and MAY NOT be distributed.

Installing kext enabler... OK!
Installing Turbo's SSE3 emulator... OK!

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"?

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

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.
