i normally like to stand up to my problems and face them head on, but eventualy you have to admit when you have been beaten, and my HacFirewire just beat me REALLY badly. I have spent the past three days trying to get the firewire to work,…

Hello person who stumbled across this thread, yes you. No don't leave yet, before you hit the tempting back button ask yourself, do I know anything about bluetooth keyboards or the Chameleon bootloader? At the moment I am having a slight…

This is my first time posting on this forum. I'm currently trying to build PCintosh and I have been reading every guide, forum post and tutorial that I can find. However I always get stumped when I come to the kexts section of the guides.…

For some reason Mac OS does not seem to like my external hard drive. It is a Free agent drive which is listed as being mac compatible (it even has a program for formatting it into the Mac file system.) Anyway, the problem is, when I…

“I tried deleting AppleHPET.kext, but it didn't fix the problem. Although I'm sure I will need to later. Although I googled it, a lot of people claimed they needed to drop hpet to get firewire working, It wouldn't suprise me if two things ar…”

“It must be a PCI card, damn, I'm using on board fire wire. Is there anyway around this or is installing a card my only option? The price of the fw card doesn't bother me because I have one sitting right here from my last computer (it's a li…”

“Okay, I have a very simple idea which requires almost no effort. So can someone please respond. Could someone with working Firewire and Windows installed on their computer help me out. Could you go into Windows and copy all the information …”

“Progress, not a bit. However you might have helped. Some people have had Firewire problems after upgrading. To fix it they install the Firewire Kexts from their earlier installation. I tried installing the FW kexts from 10.4.9 but that didn…”

“Anyone anyone? I've been doing more snooping around on my Mac, I noticed something. In System Profiler the Mac address of the firewire is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. I could be totally wrong, but I believe this is an error. Could it be that my…”

“Still having no luck with the firewire, but I have discovered something. Whenever I try to load IOFirewireAVC via terminal, it goes okay, however it throws up an error about AppleFWaudio. For example after I kextloaded IOFireWireSerialBusPr…”

“sorry to bother you again, but your post made me think of something. In Windows there is an easy way to get into safemode, I can just go into MSCONFIG and change the boot mode to /safemode. When the comp is restarted it goes into safemode. …”

“Thank you so much. I can't tell you what a relief it was to switch on my computer and not have to unplug dongles etc. Funny thing is, Windows 7 doesn't seem to like my HD partition format and won't install so I may end up running it through…”

“oh yeah, it ejects just fine, but still keeps on spinning. I've looked around and found that apparently this happens to a lot of external drives (on both Macs and Hacks) as Mac OS doesn't know how to issue shutdown commands to certain exter…”
