I'm having slow hard drive reads. Suddenly, it stops for 10 seconds, keeping the hd activity led steady on. When this happens, nothing is written to system.log, so it's really hard to trace. Can somebody help me?

I'm using Nvidia GTX 285 on my hack. Getting very low score on Xbench opengl, and expose/spaces isn't working very smooth. Currently with gfx strings, but I've also tried ATY_INIT with same results. Anyone having same issues?

“Machinist, Please use unpatched everything, just vanilla kext's. Then check by using ifconfig if your network adapter is working in Promisc mode. You can use Cyberduck's Bonjour tab to check if its working for you or not. This already works…”

“Thanks machinist! No need to use additional kext like R1000, it uses the Apple drivers. The only thing you need to do is to get the modified ifconfig from here: stan ford.edu/~dub/macstuff/ifconfig.tgz And set the NIC to promisc mode on eve…”

“Got it working! Finally! You just have to change your NIC to promisc mode. : :”

“I just arrived at home, so my first test was to include R1000.kext into my /Extra/Extensions.mkext and boot with arch=i386 on the boot.plist. Any changes. SMB shares are still shown on Finder, but I think that bonjour doesn't work at all be…”

“For those who can try it now, this is the code to add under Network section on your DSDT: Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x06) { "built-in", Buffer (One) { 0x01 }, "device_type", Buffer (0x09) { "ethernet" }, "name", Buff…”

“Thanks for the info, mitchde Did you try this fix on this board? Can you report that it works fine? I'm not at home now, but I will try as soon I arrive there.”

“I'm in the same situation as you. Ethernet works at 1Gbit without any problems. I can see samba shares on Finder, and access them. But, for example some apps which use Bonjour, like Cyberduck or Things, can't see any shared resource. I will…”

“machinist, do you have Bonjour working on this board? Mine doesn't. Which 4 kext's are you using?”

“I'm not using any ata device on my computer. Instead, I use Jmicron, but only to boot Windows 7 hard drives. I don't need to access to them from osx. Do I need to use Jmicron.kext or appleintelpiixata.kext on my snow -maybe for more stabili…”

“Still having this problem. Access to 1st SATA device seems to be fine, but the other hard drives are really slow and getting my system freeze for some minutes!”

“Motherboard is GA P45 UD3, with Q9550. I'm using a USB stick to boot a RAID 0 on WD Eco Blue 500GB drives. On this USB, I have Chameleon RC2, and mkext with: Disabler.kext IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext OpenHalt…”

“I am booting snow with Standard Chameleon RC2. No kernel panics at all. What's the point for using the netkas PCEFI 10.1 or 10.2?”

“Chinasky, on Snowy, are you using EFI string or ATY_INIT? This seems to be a common issue with nvidia and 10.6 :-|”

“Thanks for your reply. I will try this bench today. Anyways, something is causing very low FPS with Exposé and Spaces (more when moving with Ctrl+arrows through spaces). Is this normal or am I missing something?”

“I'm happy that finally works for you!”
