DVD-RW device disappear (no drives)
The dvd-drive pioneer drv-111dbk (IDE) has dissapeared from system. In system info is nothing in ATA device tree. There is only "ATA bus".
MB: ASUS M2N-E Leopard 10.5.5 updated form Zephyroth's Leopard 10.5.2 Rev. 2 |
hmm, it could be that your kextcache need rebuilding. Try booting with -f and see if that helps?
|
Nope, it doesn't help :(
|
Have you checked the physical connection on your ATA bus? Something similar happened to me a while back. I disconnected the IDE cable from the device and reinserted it which rectified the problem.

Me too , no dvd drive after install ideneb 10.5.4 but update 10.5.5 , still missing dvd drive , weird when dvd install worked good then it gone , is there something missing from kext I tried different kext to install from osx86 tools , no go.
|
Which kexts is responsible for a dvd-drive?
|
I think it's to do with either AppleNForceATA or IOATAFamily. You may find your old working IOATAFamily.kext was replaced in the update.
|
Both files are same as from previous installation where drive is working good
|
Nothing happened after the kernel (to voodoo_beta2) and some kext's (AppleNForceATA.kext and System.kext) was updated. Still "No Drives" :(
|
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
|
anyone got work with dvd drive? I had been search and nothing help.
|
DVD-drive must to be master if slave is not installed. My problem is solved, DVD-drive appeared. ^_^
