UAD-2 Solo card flashing red/green on OSx86 - help!

Hi guys!

 

I just yesterday managed to finally boot SL 10.6.1 (vanilla with some modified kexts for my mobo) but the only issue I am having is that my UAD-2 card is flashing red/green (even with the latest drivers installed). This is hopeless as I am only trying hackintosh to see if Logic benefits from the extra processor speed over my 2006 Mac Pro.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? In my Mac Pro it was working 100% fine. I have tried various PCI/E slots in my motherboard to no avail - is there some BIOS setting that must be set in order for it to work?

 

I had to set my BIOS to ACPI enabled as well as AHCI could this be the culprit?

 

My specs:

 

ASUS P5K-E Wifi/AP

Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ 4.40Ghz

4GB Corsair Dominator PC8500 @ 976Mhz

NVIDIA GTX 285

UAD-2 Solo Nevana 32 PCI-E card

Be Quiet! Dark Power 850W PSU

Custom watercooled Silverstone TJ07

 

Thanks in advance

My UAD-2 Solo works in both 32 bit and 64 bit :)

 

 

then you are the one and only on earth - there is still no 64bit driver available.

maybe I´m wrong and you are a beta tester? ;)

 

@OftheSeven

 

do you use dsdt? dsdt compiled with a new hpet on some boards avoids the recognition of the uad cards - especially uad-1´s

 

compile it without the hpet option

To clear things out...

The UAD card will not be recognized when booting with 64 bit kernel and most likely most of your external stuff won´t work neither.

UA has not released 64 bit drivers yet.

 

So, booting with 64 bit kernel is kind of meaningless nowadays and years to come.

Both Leopard and Snow Leopard are already 64 bit OS`s even though you are booting with the 32 bit kernel.

So to get advantage of the 64 bit Logic version, just boot with 32 bit kernel and "show info" on the Logic 9.1 app and make the right settings.

 

The default kernel mode for real Mac´s is 32 bit but for Hack´s it is 64 bit, just make sure you boot with the 32 bit kernel and you will be fine.

your hardware???

 

 

did you try with any disabler without dsdt? or even without dsdt and powermanagment.kext?

 

I have here perfect working 2 x UAD-1 & 1 UAD-1e. 10.6.2 / 32bit and dsdt compiled without hpet option.

 

Gigabyte P35-DS4

Q6600

ATI 4870 1GB

RME HDSP9632 - Working

 

I used this install method

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=195248

 

no, how do I do that, just delete it or?

 

I have tried to compile new DSDT without hpet option but I did it from current system, and

I am not sure is that allowed... anyway its good to know that you have working UAD-1!

 

what UAD software version are you using, latest v550?

 

Thanks

Yes, sorry, my mistake.

 

The card works fine in 32 bit mode, not 64 bit...

 

I thought I was in 64 bit mode once and it was working, but I was in fact in 32 bit mode...

 

Sorry for any confusion!

 

no way.........for that you gonna be tarred and feathered :(

Hi

 

i'm sorry in wrong english.

 

i use GA-EP45-UD3R from Kakewalk.

 

firewire can be used without trouble.

but i cant use PCI and PCI-e for using UAD-2.

 

i tryed to boot X58A-UD3R.

 

it came to be able to use uad-2.

 

but it becomes impossible to use firewire this time.

 

is this problem solved if it does very?

thanks for your reply.

 

im sorry that i dont know well about i386.

 

i made booted usb installed snow leopard and kakewalk for EP45-UD3R.

after that, it followed a guide and it installed it.

 

how do you make it to 32bit?

it was thought that it was 32bit mode if I did not do anything.

 

sorry wrong english.

no - it isn´t

 

when booting with efi/chameleon hit any key - then type arch=i386

when booted open terminal and type uname -a to proof that the 32bit kernel is loaded

 

later on you should write into your com.apple.boot.plist (in Extra)

<key>kernel flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string>

 

that way it boots always into 32bit mode

thanx peach-os.

 

i tryed

1 type "arch=i386" and press enter when booting.

2 type "uname -a to proof" in Terminal.

3 opened the HD/Extra/com.apple.boot.plist. and added

<key>kernel flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string>

 

Then restart.

 

but icant use UAD-2.

its flashing red/green and indicated No cards Found.

 

is there wrong way?

 

mmmmm.

i have no idea.
