LogicalUser Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 i'm sure someone will find a solution, but until then somebody's gotta be the guinea pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunLizard Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Like the IOUSBFamily that got an update, the Firewire IO kits seem to be hit as well. Try replaceing IOFireWireAVC.kext IOFireWireFamily.kext IOFireWireIP.kext IOFireWireSBP2.kext IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext with the older 10.5.5 versions. Admittedly, that's a shotgun approach since I am not sure which actually contains the conflict with your board/hardware but that should re-enable your ports. remember to chown/chmod and reboot with -F flag after doing 'the surgery'. PS, i would force a time machine backup before you start too, so you can un-f(()* the thing if it breaks. PPS, just so you know, I don't have the FireWire issue so I cant say I've tested it and it works..... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliab Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Same issue in 10.5.6 update here with P5W DH Deluxe but no problem with a Intel DQ965gf ? In IORegisteryExplorer we can see there is a lack of Device_ID and Vendor_ID under AppleFWOHCI but it seem's to be in the binary and not in the plist ?

Subby Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi, i tried replacing IOFireWireAVC.kext IOFireWireFamily.kext IOFireWireIP.kext IOFireWireSBP2.kext IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext from 10.5.5 but it made no difference, i'm also seeing that my USB memory stick is no longer working in 10.5.6 profiler see's it on a usb high speed bus but OSX dose not mount the device other usb devices seem to be working fine, other devices don't show as high speed bus, don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Subby Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 OK, i now have firewire working, i restored all the 10.5.6 kext's (except seatbelt.kext, that's still a 10.5.5 version) & then installed these 2 kexts http://rapidshare.de/files/41153635/AHCI_Fix_10_5_6.zip.html (posted in the 10.5.6 update thread by smcpipin) & now firewire is working again, (usb is playing up again but i'll track down witch kext is needed from 10.5.5 & post back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampledi Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Update on firewire issues: on GA-P35-DS3R, when I boot without dsdt.aml, Firewire is back in system profile. Retail, EFI v9. Must have kexts inside "Extra" folder: AppleDecrypt, Disabler, SMBIOSResolver, OpenHaltRestart I'm just not sure who can and who can not boot without DSDT.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico3d3 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I lost Firewire too, but I don't really care since I wasn't using it anyway. Let's see if someone can find a permanent fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxman Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yes,without dsdt.aml firewire again works perfect! edit:sorry,right is dsdt.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampledi Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yes,without DSDST.aml firewire again works perfect! I'm glad that it works. Obviously this helps with Gigabyte boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemphys Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Removing dsdt.aml was no help to me. After the update to 10.5.6 I have lost not only firewire, but ethernet too (integrated Intel Pro 100/VE). The weird thing is that during 1 boot, both devices were working fine (!) but after I rebooted, all was back to normal (no ethernet, no firewire)... Any ideas?

asadev Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Should be in the root of your drive. Booting up without DSDT.aml gives me all types of problems, USB mouse and keyboard needs to be moved to another usb port to get working, restart hangs and it also doesnt bring back my firwire. Seems to be a problem with asus motherboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a problem with asus motherboards. I also have a PK5-VM and Im having the same problem. I also can't get time machine to work. Keep getting message"Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found." I have tried some of the fixes on the site but nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? This happened to me too. My ViaRhine network card was working correctly, then suddendly it stopped working after a reboot. I solved the problem by reinstalling dsdt.aml with the "New HPET Option" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
