Any soluiton for ata dvd drive in 64bit?
Hi can anyone help me to get ata dvd working in 64 bit?
Thnx:) |
Have you tried -f?
I didn't know there was an ATA drive issue in SL. If so, well, maybe it's time I upgrade and just custom paint the new one :/. |
That should depend on the IDE controller you have there, most ata kexts lack 64 bits compilations, snow only have support for Intel and Jmicron from apple, if you dont have that you would have to wait or run it in 32 bits
|
I've applied a dsdt patch before booting into sl
everything works in 64bit, but only DVD drive doesn't.. i have jmicronATA.kext in the extension folder... does this mean i dont have support for 64bit ? |

Hi, netkas piixata don't working.
Use this one http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/intel...ed-kext-t4102/ |
I think it would be better that before suggesting kexts the poster specifies what hardware we are talking about.
It seems you need a patched IOATAFamily.kext as suggested from slic only IF you have a secondary IDE channel disabled. Apart from that you need a kext that supports the controller your mobo has, because IOATAFamily vanilla only supports a couple of Intel ICH7/8 & ESB chipset, most ICH9/10 desktop chipsets dont have Intel ATA channels, so you would need a third party kext. |
I have the same problem.
My ATA DVD writer is recognized by Leopard and it works fine (all the DVDs I burned work). On Snow Leo, however, it doesn't even show in Disk Utility and if I insert a DVD in the drive nothing happens. It's as if I don't have a DVD drive. My chipset is ICH9 (this is the second IDE controller, first one is JMicron I think). My motherboard is a Gigabyte P35C-DS3R with F12 bios. AHCI is enabled and native mode (ports 0-3) is enabled. Thanks for any pointers. This is the last thing I need to have a perfectly working Snow Leopard (and then wait for all the software to be compatible). |
