tomtefar Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 DaemonES: On my AB9 I had to remove your driver from my kext Extensions folder when setting the HDD controller to AHCI (works OK for IDE) and instead load it by the rc.local script. If I have your driver (the lastest I can find above in this thread) in the Extensions folder and running HDD controller in AHCI mode it just hangs before the login prompt appears, loading it by rc.login solves this. Furthermore, having the driver in the Extensions folder but running HDD controller in IDE mode allows the login prompt to load but I can't be to quick in pressing a user to type in text because then I get a spinning wheel of death which it never recovers from. If I wait about 15 seconds it's ok and I can log in normally. Haven't tried if this is present when loading by rc.local (but I know I do not have to wait if I don't load the driver at all). If I run the debug version, were would the logs be written?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonES Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 tomtefar hm, that strange, what about AW9D-Max, does it works fine with HDD in AHCI mode? You can found logs at /var/logs/system.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtefar Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 DaemonES: Yeah I found it kind of strange also. Had an idea of that maybe it would work if I used a static IP. Will have time to test all this in about 14 hours or so. Will get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtefar Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is what I find in system.log when debug version is in Extensions folder on AB9 Pro using AHCI: Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] Link Status: Not Linked Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::R1000InitEventSources() Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::getWorkLoop() Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::newVendorString() const Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::newModelString() const Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::getHardwareAddress(IOEthernetAddress *addr) Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::registerWithPolicyMaker(IOService *policyMaker) Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::setPowerState(unsigned long powerStateOrdinal, IOService *policyMaker) Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::configureInterface(IONetworkInterface *interface) then it just hangs on a light-blue screen before the oridnary blue and login screen. Will try AW9D with ACHI now also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtefar Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Using AHCI on AW9D and have kext in Extensions folder works flawlessly. I guess there is no need to dig up debug output then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi, can anyone please explain how to install this driver from post#147 for a newbie, I guess they'r source files, what should i do with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detosx Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Try this version, works fine on my Asrock 945G-DVI That's good to know, thanks but... being a noob I'm scratching my head over what and where to put things. I don't know if gr8 is using the same motherboard as us but... How did you do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief-j Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 DaemonES, I just sent you an email with the output from my logs. I'm having the freeze problem on an 8169 each time I load into OSX. Thanks for your work here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminmc Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Post #147 worked for me!!! I thought the original one worked fine for me, but it didn't. My couplter would work for hours and then kernel panic. It would never work overnight. I even underclocked my CPU. I thought it wasn't my processor settings anyways, because I could do a 2 hour mpeg2 render without a problem, ant the thing would panic when it was idle. So after reading on here that people have had kernel panic with the driver on post 1, I thought it would be a good start to try post #147. No kernel panic since! Woohoo!!!!!

gr8 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 yeah, this driver worked for me also, but it's really slow, anyone knows what could be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief-j Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks guys for your input and sorry for jumping to conclusions, but it seems after all that my problem is router-related, and not really ethernet card related. It seems that Linksys WRT54G routers don't like giving DHCP addresses to OSX, so I need to focus there. Unless anyone has any solutions for that? I'll probably split it off to its own thread though. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonES Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 tomtefar thanks for info. Something connected with power management in driver, will try to fix this later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaemonES Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 tomtefar yeah, it would be great if you'll send me CPU-Z register dump. avenger you version of OSX is too old, you can edit Info.plist manually and set version of IOPCIFamily to 1.6.

tomtefar Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 DaemonES: I'm sorry, the only CPU-Z I'm familiar with is the Windows tool for reading CPU and memory settings?? Is there an other program called CPU-Z?? How do I go about reading said information?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeenam Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is v1.02 the latest version of this driver? My system locks up and a message appears prompting for a reboot if left on overnight. Seems a few others are having this issue as well. Can anyone tell if the driver in post #147 is newer than the v1.02 installer the NeoPhus made?

DaemonES Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 tomtefar thanks. jeenam latest driver will solve you problem. See at the head post, it's newer that 1.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
