Thanks. I'll give it a shot when my motherboard gets here.

yes RW access to any NTFS drive/partition in 32 bit and 64 bit mode.

regarding your jmicron I do have jmicron working but I dont use RAID only set the bios to AHCI+ IDE and I have the following visible in system profile

try the attached kext in /extra/extentions and rebuild mkext

did you remove sleepenabler.kext? It'll cause panic with the new kernel...other than that you should be good

As JaE-V pointed out no need to do a reinstall. just boo int safe mode and replaced the effected kext with the new ones your issues is mostlikely the sleepenabler.


On a side note I have been getting many PM's asking for my /extra folder and dsdt.aml file.

This is from my system which is
EVGA x58 SLI MOBO
2 EVGA 9800 GTX+
6 gig OSZ platinum 1600 ram
1 Western Digi black 1TB
1 Seagate 500 gig 7200.11

here they are, however before you just copy and paste this into your system please chnage the UUID in the platformID.kext and rebuild mkext and also change UUID in smbios.plist.

Add your gfx string in com.apple.boot.plist in /extra

If you use this extra folder and dsdt.aml you "should" have a system that runs 100 % vanilla in /system/lib/extensions ( in my case none of the files in /s/l/e are modded) this makes for a cleaner install and helps reduce issues when updating.

Good luck hope this helps

**UPDATED** i think the installation process is pretty straight forward now. much less hassle. thank you very much for the files airwalk.

Slayer
couple notes:
1st dont need busratio =20 (this is only used in 10.5.6 and earlier because voodoo kernel was required. if you use the com.apple.boot and smbios in the extra zip I uploaded it has the correct config.

2nd dsdt.aml is usually placed in the root path "/" and you can hide it with this command in terminal chflags -R hidden /dsdt.aml (if you want to unhide use hflags -R nohidden /dsdt.aml" actually you should be able to hide extra folder also.)

3rd in some cases I found that addeding -x32 or -x64 doesn't work. you may want to try arch=i386 or arch=i386-x64

4th In some cases you need your 1st network adapter to show as "en0" and "built-in" specifically when using netflix watch it now. so you might want to use efi studio to combine your graphics and ethernet string

Have fun and good luck nice tutorial btw :)

thanks

Those kexts you gave me got my eSata working, but not the RAID ports. Like you said, it's probably because I've got a RAID setup.

Also, I'm still waiting for my motherboard to get here, so I don't know if that dsdt you gave me got ethernet working, but it didn't get audio working in 32/64 when I installed the AppleHDA and Legacy kexts.

Thanks for the help so far!

JaysFreaky

are you running 10.6.2 ? or 10.6.1 ?

thanks

JaysFreaky 11-16-2009 06:35 PM

Actually, 10.6. Didn't want to update until I got most of the devices working.

Are some of these only going to work in 10.6.1+?
