anyone manage to get Ricoh PCMCIA card working on 10.5.1?

need help desperately

Try booting into single user mode -s and remove the forcedeth.kext. I ran into this once before.

when trying to install, it seems to find my hds but hangs with:
AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 1 units
AppleNForceATA: Nvidia nForce MCP61 Serial ATA by MeDevil (CMD 0x9f0 CTR 0xbf0 IRQ 23 BM 0xdc00)
AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 1 units
AppleNForceATA: Nvidia nForce MCP61 Serial ATA by MeDevil (CMD 0x970 CTR 0xb70 IRQ 23 BM 0xdc08)
AppleNForceATA: Nvidia nForce MCP61 Serial ATA by MeDevil (CMD 0x9e0 CTR 0xbe0 IRQ 23 BM 0xc800)
AppleNForceATA: phy connection failed. status=0x00000000
AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 0 units
Still waiting for root device

googling a bit, i found out, that MeDevil's kext should work on my board, as in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77071 UPDATE 31-dec-2007 it is listed in the working sata chipsets (0x03f610de). so i would like to know, if it isn't this version of MeDevil's kext that's included on the dvd.
my specs:
asus m2n-vm dh
amd athlon 64 X2 4800+
samsung SP2504C 250gb sata hd
samsung HD252kj 250gb sata hd
samsung SH-S183L sata dvd
i already tried disabling nforce lan, fw and jmicron sata ports to exlude them to be the source of the problem.

anyway, thanks alot to all who are doing so great work to provide leo to the community!

hi..

i wold like to start a new thread about ATI HD Mobile series.. since everyone with this card don't know what to do.. and mine is not working fine yeath..

i find a lot of info but dispersed.. maybe wold be nice to eveyone with this vga cards to have a place to try slove this insure..

(everyone with this card can normaly boot with -x flag at dvd installer, and installed SO.. but i tryed netkas and triaks drivers.. and nothing until now.. )

ty for your time, and keep doing this greath job =]

who is this directed to?

if it's to me, is it forcedeth.kext causing my pcmcia don't work?

one more thing

my leopard installation always boot in text mode before it went into desktop (there's no apple white screen with circling icon in the middle)

why is that?

This was for A_Donut333

Ok, I will give it a shot. Thanks man.

Hello Everyone, and thank you for the great 10.5.2 DVD Zephyroth. Though I am having some minor problems. First my components, I have an amd x2 6000+, 2 sata 250GB drives, dvd +cdrw drives, x1950 Pro graphics card, 4gb ram, and a m61p-s3 nForce 430 mobo. When I customize the install I choose the 9.2 kernel, azalia audio, nforce chipset, x19x0 driver, and nforce lan driver. It successfully installs the os, though when i boot into it i get messages that the kexts for my hardware where installed improperly and should be reinstalled. None of the hardware I choose from the customize list is working. Except for maybe the nforce chipset, because the sata is working. Though my lan, audio, and graphics arent working. I dont know what I may have done wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When you get a message like " THIS.kext was installed improperly and must be reinstalled" it's because its permissions are wrong (because I didn't make the pkg correctly ... sorry). To fix the permissions on a kext, you must open a Terminal, and type :

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/"the kext"
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/"the kext"

And reboot.

PS: There's a wiki. It's actually updated regularily, don't forget to check it.
