p35-ds4 ide drives support
hi,
is anyone aware of a good solution for the jmicron ide issue? installed iatkos v7 and can't use my ide burner at all. also just some of my ide disks are recognized and write support seems gone completely. any hints are welcome |
try ATAPortInjector.kext

maybe someone can help by looking at the debug log:
Code:
requestPartition - requested size = 28.0G |
What kext are you using for supporting JMicron? Some have issues with more than 4 Gb memory, you could use a patched one or try with maxmem=3072 to see if if fixes your issues.
Other than that I'm not aware of any issues with JMicron, in the log the error it just mentions I/O error, it could be the disk is broken?, try doing a hardware check with the respective Samsung diagnostic program. |
i'm afraid i have only 2gb and have tried almost all jmicron kexts i could find.
also the disk and cable are fine since under xp all is working fine. guess i have to get one of these ide-sata adapters |
If you can erase and repartition the same drive in the same controller while in XP without troubles then the problem must be caused by the kext being used in OS X.
I dont have any JMicron hw ATM but I had a P35 DS3 board before and JMicron IDE worked 100% with vanilla JMicron kext from Leo as long as I didnt have more than 2 Gb memory. |
strange. maybe there's a difference cause of the ds4 compared to your ds3?
|
I dont think so, if it has a JMicron 36x controller there should be no difference.
Make sure you are using the right kext (the vanilla JMicronATA should be the best candidate for 2 Gb RAM) and not some foreign ATA kext. |
