Some Problems after Installation

Ascos · #1 02-03-2011, 12:34 PM

Hello,

I have installed iPC on my PC. The installation finished, my pc was booting and the OS runs mainly.
First my hardware:

CPU: AMD Dual Core 5000+
Motherboard: MSI K9N SLI Platinum (MS-7250)
Chipsatz: nVIDIA nForce 570 SLI
RAM: 2x 1GB DDR2
BIOS: AMI (08/02/06)
grafic: Gigagyte NVIVIA GeForce 7950 GT (512MB)
Sound: onBoard Realtek ALC883
LAN: Dual Gigabit on Board
HDD: 2x 250GB eSATA Western Digital
Opticals: SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615S (connected on eSATA) / TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S183A (connected on eSATA)

I hope, thats all important things...
Now the things of iPC and kext, that I have installed:

iPC_OSx86_10_5_6_Universal_PPF5_Final
Language Pack: German
Kernel: Voodoo 9.5.0
Drivers:
Video: NVInject0.2.1 512MB VRAM
Audio: ALC883
Chipsatz: AppleNForce ATA nforceDriver

Fixes & Patches:
ACPI FIx
Firewire Mount Fix
IOPCI Family kext patched
Seatbelt kext 10.5.5
Shutdown/Restart Fix
PS2/Keyboardfix

Applications:
Marvins AMD Utility --> doesn't work
OSx86 Tools Utility
Kext Helper b7

Thats all...

All in all my OS is running, I have audio, usb, but I have some errors and I need help.

1)
I have no Ethernet connection. I think, this consists of no kext for Ethernet, but I don't know, which is the right.
I have found a Site for my System and there are the right kext, but the drivers are offline. On an other site I have read, that I dont install anny ethernet drivers.
You can find it here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...hp/t173105.html
Do you know a site, where I can get the right kext?

2)
My optical drives are detected on the Info screen in Mac (about this mac) but no matter waht kind of disc I insert, there are not detected. No screen, that a disc was insert nothing. The Drives are connceted via eSATA, is that a problem?

3)
I have installed the restart/shutdown fix, but this error is not fixed. Every time i shutdown my iPC, this error is comming.

To show you the booting with -v and the kernel error while shutdown, I have shot some photos which you can find at the end of this post. Picture 1-3 show you he booting and picture 4 and 5 the error while shutdown.

I hope you can help me.

Greetings

Ascos

Edit:

Something I want to add is, when this OS is running, I want to install Windows 7 on an other partion.

According to Google Dev ID is 0x0450 so this kext should work for your Ethernet:

If you are looking for a CD/DVD-writer to work properbly with AppleNForceATA.kext you will have to get an IDE one, SATA will lack disk burning capability on this driver.
Could be possible, that using eSATA connection doesn't work at all...
//Edit: kinda disapproving that is that the Setup of iPC has worked - maybe you have some IDE optical driver laying around for testing?

Keep in mind to back up and restore your current mach_kernel, System.kext & seatbelt.kext + having Disabler.kext beeing loaded when doing 10.5.8 System Update. (Just guessing, you'll gonna do after ethernet works...)
