Kernel modification after graphics/sound driver install?

Hi probably stupid question, but.:
Do I have to do something with my kernel, when I install e.p. graphics driver or sound driver, to get them work properly?
E.P. I have downloaded ati-drivers with kernel26archck, modifyied boot/grub/menu.lst to use that kernel, but when i start xfce, it returns me, that incompatible kernel detected and that openGL won't work.
Where is the problem?
When do I need to do something with my kernel and HOW? :c)
THX

i'm not familiar with the ati drivers, but for nvidia, you have to install the driver with pacman after you have booted a new kernel. simply 'pacman -S ati-drivers' now. you'll have to reinstall the driver whenever you install a new kernel, but like i said, after you boot it.

I am having sporadic issues after new hard drive install and recovery using Time Machine. The same sluggish response, start up screen pixelating...If I reinstall Lion will it wipe out other applications? My HD was formatted and partitioned correctly, I have a late 2009 iMac.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Restoring data after new hard drive installed

I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can download iWorks from the App Store. Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files. Other than iWorks, what did not get restored?

G60-324CA throwing mutlipe Code 12's in Device Manager, No Sound, Driver Install Fails!

I have an HP G60-324CA. After reinstalling Windows 7 - which had previously worked with all the trimmings - I reinstalled most of the drivers. The sound driver (for a Connexant 221 SmartAudio) does not install and states that it 'Driver Installation Failed:Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver.'.
A glance at the device manager shows that a few devices are not working, all giving the error 'This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)' including one of the SATA controllers and the HD Audio Controller which I am assuming is the connexant device or something it depends on.
In attempt to adress the problem the latest BIOS was installed, nothing changed.
Any assistance in resolving this problem would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Make sure you have installed the Chipset driver for your version of Windows 7.
Chipset Driver Windows 7 32bit
Chipset Driver Windows 7 64bit
Restart the notebook after the installation and then see if you can now install the other drivers successfully.

Kernel panic after 10.5.3 install - can't get to desktop

When 10.5.3 came out I ran Software Update, and it installed itself and then asked me to restart my system. So I did. But before my MBP finished restarting, a gray curtain came down and told me that I had to... restart... my... system. (It looked like a kernel panic screen.)
I restarted and the same thing happened. After a couple of iterations of this I realized that something was broken and it wasn't going to fix itself, so I booted up in Safe Mode. That worked OK. It's what I'm using right now. Things seem to work normally except that certain functions, like playing audio, are disabled.
How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks.

OK, here's the panic log for the first kernel panic after the 10.5.3 download. Does this help?

IMac taking long time to boot after new hard drive installed. Help?

I recently had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (running Snow Leopard). After the intall all was well, but I couldn't get my screensaver to work. Erroneously thinking it was missing, I reinstalled it and ended up with two screen saver folders in the system files. Now when I turn on the Mac, I get a white screen for several seconds (close to a minute) before the system shows me the Apple logo and then boots. I'm concerned about this. Did my copying the screen saver cause the problem? Should I reinstall my system software? I was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion anyway. Will that fix the problem? Any suggestions appreciated.

Restart in Safe Boot Mode (hold the left Shift key as soon as you restart your computer and hold it until the Apple logo appears). Once it gets to the desktop you can restart normally. Safe Mode serves a number of purposes and one of them is to delete/trim temporary files that might be causing boot problems. There's no guarantee this will improve your startup time but it will do no harm and I have seen computers restart more quickly after a Safe Boot.

Re-installing Linksys Connect on laptop after new hard drive installed

I have a E4200 router and had Connect loaded on my laptop. My hard drive crashed and needed replacement. I had no problem signing on to my WiFi once I got the new hard drive installed.
With the new hard drive, I now do not have Linksys Connect installed on my laptop. My question is: Can I re-install Connect with the router running perfectly well or will re-installing Connect with the router already up and running cause me problems?
Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is an article on setting up the software after the router was already set up.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed. Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
Thanks!

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

WXP Sound Driver install problems on Portege R700

Hello
Have installed Windows XP on a new Portege R700 PT310E. Have managed to reinstall all the other drivers but cannot for the life of me get the sound drivers installed. Installed the sound drivers from the website but still no audio device is detected. The unknown device in device manager is showing as VEN 8086 DEV 3B56 but theres not really any useful info on the PCI database.
Any suggestions on how I can sort. Cost me a few frustrating hours today !!
Cheers

Do you have XP Service Pack 3 installed?
You must have SP3 installed for the HD Audio drivers to work properly. SP3 added low level HD Audio support.

2007 MacBook Pro 2.2GHz A1226 Kernel Panic after 10.8.3 install

Started getting KP's after installing 10.8 for a client. Here's my steps thus far with the KP log at the bottom of my post.
2007 non-uni MBPro 2.2 GHz A1226
CCC clone of old user hdd to .sparsebundle image (about 120GB) was running OS X 10.6.5
Repartition, erase brand new 500GB 2.5" SATA HDD
CCC > Window > Disk Center > installed Recovery HD 10.8 on the 500GB drive
CCC cloned my 10.8.2 + Apps image (used on dozens of client Macs without issue) to the 500GB drive
booted into MBPro HD and ran Migration Assistant to import old user account from the CCC backup I made earlier
ran all Apple updates and ran Repair Permissions, rebooted
on reboot... gray screen with text that said: "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up."
not sure what was wrong, I booted into Recover 10.8 > ran DU repair disk and repair permissions
still getting kernel panic on reboot... but after a few tries it would boot into the user account. Once in user account everything runs fine. Only getting KP when I start up the MacBook Pro. weird.
Thinking it was bad OSX install from my CCC image... I went ahead and reinstalled from Recovery HD fresh 10.8.2, then ran updates, etc.
still getting kernel panic. Was fine on 10.6.5. Only noticed it when upgraded to 10.8.x
did SMC and PRAM resets, still issues
booted into Safe Mode... no errors that I can see, but then again it won't KP when I'm running anything.
Have not yet re-seated or replaced ram (3rd party 2 x 2GB 667mhz) but plan to do that tonight.
Anything else you guys can think of? It appears to be a GPU issue... "IOGraphicsFamily" and "NVDAResman"
Thanks. - Brian

The video memory of mine is 64 MB. no idea how and why.
Maybe it's because I got my macbook pro repaired two years ago due to a video chip failure.
The DDR2 memory installed is a single 4GB
One of the memory slot is not working
Any suggestions?????

Kernel panic after replacing hard drive in Powerbook 17"

I need help with a kernel panic that won't even let me start up. Here's a detailed account of what happened:
The hard drive in my Powerbook 17" recently failed. Since it is out of warranty anyway, I decided to try to replace it myself. I found a good tutorial with photos online and was careful to rehook everything appropriately. After the replacement, I immediately installed OS 10.2 from my Apple Software Restore CD. It seemed to successfully install on the new HD.
After installing OS X, I restarted. I got the Apple logo on the grey screen but as soon as the "gear" started spinning, I got a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM and the PMU but still got the panic message so I fired up Apple Hardware Test CD. Without even running the test, it gave me the message that errors were detected with my RAM upon startup. In the Hardware Profile tab, under Memory Overview, it showed:
768/1024
SODIMM0/J20STANDARD512/512
SODIMM1/J23REVERSED256/516
The last line "SODIMM1..." was red. It appeared that one of the sticks of RAM was damaged. However, when I swapped the sticks, I still got the kernel panic, but the Hardware Profile no longer listed either of the sticks in red and the full 1024/1024 MB was shown.
Does anyone have any idea why I am still getting a panic message? Could I have damaged the RAM itself or the RAM slot? (I was very careful when pulling it out.) Any help would be much appreciated. This has been a great computer for about 6 years and I hope to get another few out of it!
Peter

For anyone interested: I experimented with this a little more last night. By switching the RAM sticks, the memory problem seems to be resolved. I was still getting the kernel panic though so I put the original hard drive (which is on the verge of crashing) back in the machine and everything booted up just fine. It seems like the problem may actually be with the new hard drive. I don't need to do anything to the drive other than pop it in the machine, right?

BSOD after X-FI driver install h20x2k.

I just installed the drivers for my X-FI, and much to my surprise I was greeted at the end of the install with a BSOD. The complaint comes from h20x2k.sys. I moved the card to another PCI slot, and nothing. Onboard sound is disabled and inacti've in the bios. I have installed the drivers many many times, and never had a problem until now. I figured reformatting would fix the problem easy, but actually, after a clean partition and install, it still gave me a BSOD. I do not know what is going on. Please don't ignore this post. The computer only crashes when installing the DRIVERS. I have a Intel dual core 2.8ghz, GB 3200 ddr RAM, 0krpm wd raptor.

I have the same problem like you,
I'm using e6600+ asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP + x-fi Fatalty
sys:xp sp2
it get on well since recently i changed for a 5. speaker (2. before)
i used the speaker connect guide to set the speaker but suddenly it BSOD then i just can't even login windows.
i uninstall the driver in safemode but after that the famous "h20x2k.sys BSOD" problem appears.
i tried the new openal driver in download page, it get stuck when "installing drivers....... takes minutes"
i tried also other possibly fix methods that used in "h20x2k.sys BSOD" and take no effect.
the only hardware change is i updated the latest version 226 bios
i just fast give up all hope now

System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks in advance

Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.
Please send KUDOs

Recovering playlists after new hard drive installed in computer

The computer repair store explained that all of my itune music was exported to my external hard drive before they installed an upgraded hard drive into my old computer. I was able to retrieve my songs from my external drive and put them into my "new" library after I downloaded itunes software onto my new hard drive. I seem to have LOST all of my playlists during the transfer to/from the external hard drive. How do I retrieve these playlists? Thanks for your help.

Did they also copy the iTunes Library.itl file as well as the iTunes music folder? This is the database of the songs in your library and the playlists and other info.
If they deleted the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you re-install it, but any playlists are lost.
If you still have them on your iPod, then a 3rd party app may help.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
