Gringo Vermelho Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 i've IOATAFamily.kext installed Everybody does, it comes with OS X. You need JMicronATA.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinGenius Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Everybody does, it comes with OS X. You need JMicronATA.kext. Look at attached Pic u will see that there is a jMicronATA.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Don't try to use two drivers for the same hardware at the same time. Check kernel.log in console.app (type console in Spotlight) for error messages related to your jmicron drivers during boot, there must be a conflict or something. I don't have any jmicron hardware here so I'm not sure, it's possible that there is a newer version of JMicronATA specifically for Lion, maybe the ones you are using are too old or 32-bit only.

AlvinGenius Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 but.. if i've error in kexts ... u forgot that when i installing Mac Lion ... i don't see IDE HD in Disk Utility ... ( when installing ) >>> ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Okay fine, don't do what I suggested. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdtt Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think you better remove jmicronata.kext That kext is probably from apple and 172kb kext is what I have on my hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskantraveler Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This might seem dumb, and I am not sure if it will work in Lion, but it does in Snow Leopard, which won't show the IDE drives either at installation or in Disk Utility as installed. Use Kext Utility to install ATIATA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions. You never know, It may work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I doubt that ATIATA.kext will work with a JMicron hard drive controller, don't install drivers for hardware that you don't have. (before someone beats me on top of the head with this, yes I know that SuperVIAATA.kext drives Marvell controllers). Tons of motherboards (usually Gigabyte) use JMicron ATA controllers, look around, see what other people are doing on Lion. I'm sure it's easy to fix.

kdtt Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 You have 2. Both of them ATA controller, JmicronATA,Jmicron36xATA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskantraveler Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I the past i had succes with SuperVIAATA.kext for some ide/ata chipsets http://www.osx86.net...?do=file&id=337 That is for VIA ata chipset. ATIATA.kext is for ATI chipset And there is also one for NVidia ata chipset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, but i think these kexts are all meant to prevent the "root device error" when you're booting OSX from a PATA disk or with a motherboard that doesn't support AHCI. The issue experienced by TS is exactly the same i experience for so long a time with my AMD machine that i simply decided to live with it: i cannot see my Windows 8 PATA disk from OSX, even if i boot in IDE mode with a proper AppleATIATA.kext installed - to be very precise, i just restarted the system in IDE mode right now to prove the my point: I can do it just fine, the kext is reported loading at boot time in verbose mode, but it only detects my SATA OSX startup disk, and shows no sign of my PATA Windows 8 disk. The id of my PATA controller, 0x439c1002, is already included in the Info.plist , so i'm rather certain that if i needed, i could boot OSX from the PATA disk just the way i do with the current disk. Only seeing the PATA disk from OSX when it's not itself the startup disk seems to be the problem here. I didn't exhaust all troubleshooting steps, though, since i confess i didn't try dealing with master/slave configurations (in fact, i never needed to do it even with Windows, so i'm not familiarized with how it works and if it would make a difference), but the knowledge i gathered as for now is that a working ATA kext could give you PATA or IDE OSX boot, but it's not enough to make a PATA disk to appear in disk utility, either in the installer or in the running system.

iFIRE Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 HARD DISK IDE KEXTS.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you, iFire! The ATIPATA kext looked promising. Unfortunately, it's 32-bit only. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 P.S.: may i relink to your package of kexts in the AMD section? I think it's likely many AMD users have to deal with ATI, nVidia and JMicron chipsets, specially with older machines, which won't have any option other than IDE mode. All the best!

theconnactic Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 P.P.S.: back just to say thank you to you, iFire: since Mountain Lion is 64-bit-only, i tried ATIPATA.kext on Lion (which i can boot in 32-bit kernel mode): worked as advertised, and now i have full access to the Windows PATA disk, including in Disk Utility. The next has some instability issues and gave me a kernel panic when i tried to unmount the disk, but i'm not going to unmount/mount this disk all the time (i did it to enable read & write ntfs support, so i doubt i'll do it again).

alaskantraveler Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I will give this one HARD DISK IDE KEXTS.zip a try myself, also. AppleATIATA.kext works for me in Lion x86_64, and I am using one of my ati EIDE drives to boot Lion 10.7.1 on. And as soon as I can figure the steps needed to upgrade to 10.7.5, I will do that, too.

alaskantraveler Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Upgrade (updated?) to 10.7.5 went flawlessly. just click on Software Update in the Apple Menu at the top left and let it do it's thing! No extra stuff to take out, or put in. Haven't tried HARD DISK IDE KEXTS.zip yet, because the ATIATA.kext works very well for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Is there any version for the ATIPATA.kext for a 64-bit system? It worked like a wonder with 32-bit Lion. Now that I moved on to Mavericks, the kext won't load, and I cannot see my old PATA Windows 8 disk from OSX's Finder or DiskUtility anymore... All the best!

bobymc Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 HARD DISK IDE KEXTS.zip 455.73KB 171 downloads (posted by moderator) it just help me out on reading hdd on installing 10.6x into HPXW6000 workstation...yet still the disk utility CANNOT unmount disk (whatever type/kind of port disk you attached to) I'd tried bunch of ktext and boot arguments,BIOS config, etc.... none of them works Maybe someone can give better idea on this unmount-ing problem on PATA disk drive, USB drive... or I'd just better rely on AHCI port 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Unfortunately, none of these kexts would serve my purposes: the ATIPATA works but it's 32-bit only. Does anyone have the sources for it, so I can compile myself a 64-bit version for my system? All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
