Yes this JMicronATA.kext recognize both my IDE HDs . put it on /Extra, if you use chameleon 2 RC3 and restart with -f flag


Make sure that you set your bios /ONBOARD devices/ jmicron controller to enabled and in IDE mode . Bios version = last one

Maybe your BIOS version is the key, since ASUS says:

P5K-E/WiFi-AP BIOS 1305 1. Update JMB controller Option ROM.

I have the 12.02 bios, it recognizes the ide HD but it fails to mount it, if i try to format it i get a input/output error...

This http://rs651.rapidshare.com/files/27...essentials.zip archive (from the first post) does not have a DSDT file. Folder "P5k-e DSDTs with audio, USB and SATA FIX" is empty. Where I can download this DSDT.aml?

This is the updated version of snow essentials. If something is missing or should be added or modified, please let me know. I don't have much time lately and since my system is working, I didn't changed anything in a while.

Get the snow essentials v2 here

Of course you can't, my dsdt.aml is only there for comparison. Always use your dsdt and maybe copy only parts that you are interested in.


Cheers

can you made DSDT for me? I dont understand ACPI lang.
I have this mobo
Q6600 CPU
2x2Gb Ram.
Thanks.

Thank you for all the input and effort here. I have a P5K-Premium mobo and get all components work after reading this thread. But the only matter remaining is that the volume of the Microphone is extremely low! I almost can't hear my voice in Skype or other apps even though I shout out laud. I am sure I select the right input device, for me it is "external mic", 'cause I can hear some noise if i blow into the mic. Has anyone solved this issue? Please help me out here, thanks a lot!

For those who like messing with DSDT I am sure you'll love this application called DSDTSE from EV0sx86 Team

Inside you have a list of errors and what to do when they appear

Example of an error you have from DSDTSE app:

dsdt.dsl  4220:             Acquire (MUTE, 0x03E8)
Warning  1103 -              ^ Possible operator timeout is ignored


in this error, the value of MUTE must be changed from 0xXXXX to 0xFFFF

Acquire (MUTE, 0x03E8)

Converts to: 

Acquire (MUTE, 0xFFFF)

it must be replaced where ever it gives error.

or another one :

dsdt.dsl   255:             Method (_BTP, 1, NotSerialized)
Warning  2019 -              ^ Not all control paths return a value (_BTP)


In this case, the solution consists on using the returned value of \ECFL and then add it in place of "Debug"



Change this line:

 Store ("_SB.CMB0._BTP", Debug)

to this:

 Store ("_SB.CMB0._BTP", 0x0F)

Grab your DSDTSE app (version 1.24 English) here and pay a visit to their site from time to time for updates.


Thanks to Ev0sx86 Team for their wonderful work.


Ole !
