use your install DVD and boot up to the Terminal... use kextstat to find out what kernel extension is being used to allow you to see your DVD. Then copy this file to the volume of the Hard Drive you boot from and into your Extensions folder. Then fix permissions and reboot using the boot flag -f
|
Hmm, which of this files is being used to allow to see DVD?
$ kextstat: Current system Code:
Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against> |
DVD (Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev. 2)
Code:
Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against> |
when you are in the install DVD from boot, copy the IOATAFamily.kext to the desktop of your installed system. Also, copy the AppleNForceATA.kext file over as well as it appears to be used. I am not sure (since I haven't used Zeph's rev2 DVD) but is there a few difference between the two AppleNForceATA.kext files? I would also look inside the IOATAFamily.kext file (right click, show package contents) and navigate to Contents/Plugins to see what else is located within this file... usually there are more ATA files placed in there.
EDIT: Also see if the AppleAzaliaController.kext file is needed. These are the primary differences I am seeing. |
AppleNForceATA.kext have no difference between DVD's and system's.
IOATAFamily.kext have differenses. DVD plugins: AppleGenericPCATA, AppleIntelPIIXATA, AppleOnboardPCATA, IOATABlockStorage, IOATAPIProtocolTransport Inside the IOATAFamily.kext file is located folder Contents and IOATAFamily.kext o_O Inside this IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins: AppleGenericPCATA, AppleOnboardPCATA, IOATABlockStorage, IOATAPIProtocolTransport System plugins: AppleIntelPIIXATA, IOATABlockStorage, IOATAPIProtocolTransport IOATAFamily from DVD and system Thanks for helping! |
Simply copy the DVD's IOATAFamily.kext file to your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder, then open Terminal.
Code:
sudo -s Let me know how it works out. |
Nope, it hasn't helped :'( Stil "no drives" and in System Info in ATA device tree just the "ATA Bus:" and blank page
