Yes, AppleCore99PE and AppleMacRISC2 support have been removed from the

kernel proper. I think the cube should work with either.

What version of Darwin are you trying to run. Those drivers should have

been installed with Darwin 1.3.1 or 1.4.1. Are you trying to update an

old 1.2.1 based system?

It was a straight 10.0 setup, I think. Other xnu updates I had tried did the same thing to me as the 10.1 update did. Actually, the drivers were all installed. The file that was foobar was /System/Libraries/Externsions.mkext, which I guess is just a list of available kernel modules. The installer creates one that's about half the size of the one on the CD. After hunting around with ResEdit and Sherlock (WHY do you people think I need to be protected from myself with hidden files?) I copied that file from the CD to my disk, and it boots. I did try another time with the installer before I did all of this, just to be sure. Now, I just have to figure out how to get my user accounts straightened out again (I'm getting them from an NIS server) and should be good to go. My NFS mounts stayed as they were, and the NetInfo YP stuff is still there; if I remember right, I just need to edit a file somewhere to turn that back on. Anyway, the installer definitely has a bug for platforms that need kernel extensions to run, and I know a lot of people have had this problem, so I hope someone will pick up on this and fix it. By the way, now that I have the XFree86 crutch available, I think I'm just about ready to stop booting linuxppc on this thing... maybe our next big cluster will be Apple after all! ----- Chris J.
