Mounting disk images on Mac
I was trying to mount a disk image on my 10.4.5 as usual:
[ambs@Diabelli Desktop]$ hdiutil attach lilypond-2.6.5-1.dmg load_hdi: timed out waiting for driver to loadbut as you suspect, that last line is not usual. It is repeated a lot of times, and finally does timeout. Meanwhile, googled around but didn't find a solution. A friend helped me solving this with:
sudo kextunload -c com.apple.AppleDiskImageController sudo kextload -b com.apple.AppleDiskImageControllerIt works. I can mount the image after this unload/load procedure. The problem is that if I reboot, I need to do this all again. I tried to update kext caches but it didn't work (or I didn't update the correct ones). If you had this problem, or if you know how to help me, please let me know.
Thank you, thank you! I too have this problem and did not know how to fix it. Tried deleting a few cache files as indicated elsewhere on net to no avail. Apple is basically telling me to reinstall. What!!!???? That is no answer for a lousy driver issue. I suspect that this began after one of the updates but don't know which one. Mine must have stopped working sometime in Feb or early March. Backup also does not work until the unload/load you outline. Have you found out any more?
