tisi Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey there, i have a Problem i can´t wrap my head around: my Vanilla 10.6 Installation went flawless, i have a DSDT and Kext´s in Extra Folder, so fully working LAN, AUDIO, GFX etc. Only big issue that makes my 10.6 unusable is: if I have high hard disk load (e.g. copying 2 big files >1GB at the same time) my rig hangs for ca. 30 seconds with a beachball. Seems to be a problem with the ICH8 AHCI, but i can´t figure it out since my Leopard installation works fine on the same rig. But i remember having the same problem at a leopard installation once, so it´s not a snow leopard specific problem. Please help as it´s driving me crazy, everything i tried so far doesn´t help anything (trying several kexts, e.g. ahciportinjector, applePIIX etc.). Here´s my rig: Gigabyte 965-ds4 rev.1 2,66 ghz quad 6700 6gb RAM Western Digital 1TB snow leopard Samsung Spinpoint 1TB Leopard (all on Intel ICH Ports) Chameleon RC3 + Extra (fakesmc,nullCpuPowerManagement,OpenHaltRestart,SleepEnabler,PlatformUUID) + DSDT Any help is greatly appreciated!

mitch_de Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Perhaps that Limk helps: Slow ICH (beachball) and solutions for ICHx (DSDT fixing IRQ sharing). http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisi Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 hey thanks a lot, unfortunately i wasn´t able to fix it with the link. It´s quite strange because the snow leopard HD itself seem to work fine, but if i want to copy files from one HD to another the Finder takes a little nap for about 20 seconds... Any ideas?
