Hi,
I've installed Kalyway 10.5.4 on my laptop M50Sv. Almost everything is working well except wifi (intel chipset ) and the esata.
I don't really understand what composed a Esata controller. My internal hard drive works with no problem and it is in Sata.
I think the controller i need to install is JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller. Does anyone has it working and knows how to make it working?

thanks

I have same notebook(M50SV) and same problem.
Jmicron MacOS driver from official site Don't help.
Anybody helps?

This driver should work. It had an Original Leopard installed on IDE HDD on JMicron controller.

OK Now i have installed JMicron cotroller. (Some tricks with original JMicronATA.kext)

But still have some problems: I connect HDD via ESATA and nothing happens. System cant see it

The problem, in my opinion, isn't JMicronATA.kext but IOATAFamily.kext.

I copied this kext from an installation of Leo4All V2 and eSata channel works (eSata is the third device of the IDE controller and functionally is a PATA device).

I apologize for my bad English.

Thanks, pal. I will give it a try tonight.

recently i've discovered a weird behavior of my asus laptop's esata port. it detects the connected drive only after wake from sleep. hotplug works as is w/o any modifications.
well, i'm a bit confused and haven't any ideas where the problem could be.

maybe someone had a similar problem? how to make esata always detect my hdd, not only after sleep/wake?
