Just installed Jmicron 0.6 by overwritting the default one from kalyway with Kext Helper, thanks no more panic now !!

But my system seems really slower now.. Opening windows and accessing disk seem just a litttle bit jerky. Normal ??

For info here's what I have :

Gigabyte ep35-ds3l rev 1.0
4 gb of ram
OSX 10.5.4 installed on an IDE drive
AHCI enbaled
Port 0-1 enabled

Any way to speed this up ?

Hi there. I have installed the JMicron v0.6 but my system appears to start up very slow now. Before install it was taking about 5 seconds on the Spinning Wheel APPLE, now it is taking about 20+ seconds.

I am still getting crashes in Photoshop while trying to Crop a big panorama.

I Installed JMicronv0.6 with Kext Helper.

My system is
GA-EP45-DS3R
Core2 Quad Q6600
2GB Ram (1x 1GB, 2x 512mb)
GeForce 7800

I'm pretty new to all of this and am not sure how to do that much.
Thank you.

Mafan : are you having a general slowdown issue (like me) or only a slow bootup issue ?

Hi !
I tried i Deneb 1.5 (10.5.7) with your AppleNforceATA
and i get "sam multimedia error" on my nforce 430 board.
"cant find root device", too.
meDevil's test driver works for me, but i dont have sata burning support on this. so i tried yours.

here is my lspci

Need some guidance on replacing the AppleNForceATA v0.1 kext file to an iso image... I see a lot of information for updating kext's for updating within a terminal but fail to see anything on how or where to replace these files on the installer image.

Thats the error I receive when attempting a clean install of 10.5.7 with over 3gb of ram.

Use the TEST version as that fixes a problem with reading cd's and dvd's but it doesn't fix the 4 gb problem, so on the dvd is the TEST version, but when installed, you will use the version that fixes the 4 GB problem.

Hey I'm new to this and wondered if any could help. I'm running an Abit IP35-E, w/6 GB ram. I'm running Ideneb 1.4 (10.5.6) with the 9.5 voodoo. I have the OSX install on an IDE drive running off the JMicron. I'm getting the random crashes described here: if I run an app that uses lots of memory and then access the HDD a bunch, I get a Grey screen.

I looked in /System/Library/Extensions, and I have a JMicronATA there already.

I downloaded kexthelper b 7, backed up my old jmicron kext, and used kexthelper to install the 0.6 driver. After a restart, I get an instant GSOD on boot. I recovered by putting in the install disk, going to console, then rm -rf JMicronATA in the extensions folder, then doing a cp -R to copy my backup to the extensions folder. Now it boots and works again.

My motherboard bios is version A18 (the latest I can find). I can't find any AHCI/IDE setting to change in the bios.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I will add that I am a bit unclear whether I downloaded the JMicron with or without the JMB360. I'll have to check that; no idea if it makes a difference.

If any have advice I'd appreciate it.

demetius

Aug 21 2009, 04:19 AM

Well, looks like I got it working. The first time, I installed the JMB360 version, and that didn't work for my system (abit IP35-E). Now I just tried it again with the one just labeled JMicronATA, and it seems to be working fine.

Thanks!

jmicron on gigabyte p35ds3l works out of the box in snow leopard (with -x32 flag for 32 bit kernel)
but this kext suffers from the same 4gb barrier!!

is it possible by any chance that this kext could be modified to address more ram while remaining compatible with snow leopard?
i'm attaching the jmicron vanilla kext that comes with 10.6 so called GM 10a432 in hopes that someone is able to work their magic.

just to reitirate i'm able to boot from ide drive attached to jmicron and use the system fine and stably until i hit 4gb of ram

If you want more then 4 gb of ram, ask for a 64-bit version then. No use in booting in 32-bit mode if you want more then 4 gb of ram.

both the 32 bit and the 64 kernels can address more than 4gb of ram (leopard is 32 bit and is fine with 4+ gigs) the problem is jmicron.kext which doesn't have a 32 bit version included with with snow leopard as far as i can tell because when i boot without the -x32 i get the waiting for boot device error.

it's the exact same problem that this thread was originally opened for except that it's snow leopard instead of leopard.

EDIT: the jmicron 0.6 kext from this post has solved my problem, i'm using tons of ram and not a single kernel panic on 10.6 10a432 youppi! i'm still using the 32bit kernel

Yes,please slashack! A 64bit version of AppleNForceATA.kext for snow leo would be just great!
By the way, I'm using the "untested" AppleNForceATA.kext downloaded from darwin-ata, which is working great for my system on Leopard 10.5.6-10.5.7&10.5.8 and on Snow Leo 10A432-32bit.
The only minor issue I ever had with this kext is that this increase my boot time by about 35 seconds if I don't use a modified IOATAFAMILY.kext.

1- I gotta get snow leopard.
2- I need to install it in Parallels.
3- I'll try and build the driver inside SL Xcode.

If it works, then you'll get a working driver in a couple of weeks (we don't have fast internet connections here).

B ) If it doesn't work, then i'll must find why, and adapt the driver to SL IOKit. I don't know how much time this will take.

If anyone tried option A, then please tell me the results.

If anyone knows something about option B, then please inform me.

Hello agan! Thanks for your immediate response slashack!

I appreciate it!
Although I have already installed Snow 10A432 and it's working "ok" on 32 bits, I cannot run the latest xcode version which is provided with the installation dvd on my system.
As far as I know, the previous xcode versions cannot suport SDK 10.6.
Due to lack of a XNU-patched kernel at this time,AMD support is still very limited on Snow and as Apple hasn't released XNU sources yet, nobody can build a proper kernel!

I'll try tomorrow to patch xcode with Marvin's utility and see if it can run on my system or not.
Thanks again for your concern slashack! I'll be here! ;-)

Hello slashack. I wonder if Jmicron controller has something to do with my problem. I recieve KP when running Snow Leopard installer either from boot DVD or HD volume. My motherboard uses Jmicron chip to drive IDE and when i remove 2GB of total 4GB form a slot the KP doesn't appear anymore. Have you made a Snow Leo version of your kext?

Snow Leopard comes with a JMicronATA.kext, anyone knows on which Sources it is based on? The Sources are not on http://www.opensource.apple.com

I'd like to have the Sources of the SnowLeo Version. I made a kext of the googlecode darwin-ata sources but would rather like to see what apple changed in the code. The Reason i made my one version was because of my "insomnient" DVD Burner, which refused to Sleep properly, resulting in LONG going-to-sleep process.

Mine sits right in S/L/E. My guess the reason it's not in Apple's open source library is it belongs to JMicron.

There's no snow leo kext for any driver i've modified. At the moment, i'm trying to get snow leopard and install it in a virtual machine, in order to build those kexts. But maybe i'll have to wait till apple releases the sources.

Many things changed in Snow Leopard. JAM for example is deprecated now, but XCode 3.2 has an option to adapt the targets. That way i managed to compile the JMicronATA.kext with many warnings in 32bit. 64bit didn't work, as there were many Errors, cause of UInt32 i think.

Recently i upgraded the RAM (512x2) by adding one 2Gb module, so now it's 3Gb. Since then I have random no-boots that come in series, stopping at this line:

CODE

IOAPIC Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87

After a while, usually 5 or 6 restart cycles, OS X finally boots. Also I've lost proper shutdowns. System specs are in the signature. System partition is on the IDE drive, via JMicron Controller.
Could my issue be resolved by this kext? I don't know any clear reason why did this begin, seems to be a rather new bug, so try to find the solution anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

The API has changed. Look at the errors. There are 3 errors:
1- error: 'IOATAIOReg8' has not been declared
2- error: 'IOATAIOReg32' has not been declared
3- error: request for member 'release' in '*((AppleNForceATA*)this)->AppleNForceATA::<anonymous>.IOPCIATA::

Sep 16 2009, 01:13 PM

I know, i meant that you don't need a voodoo kernel for SL because vanilla kernel works (all cores no KP), unlike leopard vanilla kernel like 9.8.0 that works only with cpus=1.

Well that's good for you. However how did you get the AppleNForceATA.kext working in SL without it being compiled for it? I'd run system profiler to be sure it's actually loaded and isn't using one of the native kext's that is in SL by default.

If it hadn't working, my computer simply wouldn't boot.

The kext isn't in that list. A native apple one is it seems. Makes sense with your chipset.

I can't use a native nforce apple driver because my mb doesn't support ahci. I'm using applenforceata from anv with slashack 4gb fix.

If you're not using ahci, you're usind ide mode which doesn't require that kext at all. That kext is if your motherboard is in ahci mode with an nforce chipset. That's why it works.

Sorry but I think to know how my PC works, and it doesn't support ahci. I can assure you that my chipset MCP55 is working in sata mode, not ide; also that kext (originally made by MeDevil) doesn't support nvidia ahci at all, vanilla ahci driver does. There's an intere thread about 6/7 nvidia MB series here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...20&start=20

Sata mode is ahci mode, so your chipset does support it. I've got the same chipset. And yes that kext does support ahci mode as its the mode my hard drives are in.

So then why is the kext working in SL when it was compiled for Leopard?

Ahci mode is NOT sata mode, it's an implementation of it which adds functions like hot-swapping. MCP55 chipset doesn't support it, MCP65 and higer does. It's simple beacuse I don't have any option in bios to enable it. If your chipset support ahci you don't need applenforceata, you just have to edit appleahciport plist. However, I don't know why it's working and actually I don't care, I just know that it works (in 32bit mode).

AHCI mode is supported on my bios as an option. I've got an asus p5n32-e sli plus motherboard. So I will try this suggestion of editing the appleahciport plist file in that kext.

Are you sure that it doesn't refer to jmicron e-sata controller?

I'm only using the nvidia sata ports. There is no e-sata ports on my motherboard.

i installed the viaata.kext and i no longer have the "still waiting for root device" error but now i am stuck on "timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesee". I am not able to boot. The screen goes blank after few minutes.

I am using iAtkos v 7

Thank you so MUCH for the kexts! no more panics! yet.. for 5 hours already

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out which kexts I should download.

The problem as I have understood is this 4gb RAM bug.

I'm running:
- EP45-DS3
- Vanilla OS X 10.5.7 w./ Chameleon 2.0 (And Extensions)
- 4gb RAM
- SATA HD
- SATA DVD

Been running this system for almost a year now and this is (almost) the only bug I've been experiencing.
Not the biggest issue, but annoying enough. Mainly occurs while downloading big torrent files (1.2 gb and up), if I'm running a lot of tasks at once or during high disc activity.

Anyone any suggestions?

For me the issue is/was in the ATA controller of my chipset. See my sig for solution.

Hi, I am not the big coder/developer. Just a simple user going mad from kernel panic, and freezes. I have tried maxmem=3456 - don't know yet if it works. But I want to try your fix. I just do not know how to... Could you do a walk trough step by step? I do not even know what to download from your list...

I am on a MacBook Pro unibody, late 2008, 10.5.8. 4 GB Kingston RAM, NVIDA GeForce 9600 GT.

Thanks.

Good to see someone trying to fix this problem that Apple clearly can not be bothered with.
