Hi everybody,
first I want to thank for this great Project and I'm sorry for my bad english (hungarian living in germany).
I've a problem with my FireWire-PCMCIA-Card on an Acer Aspire 5610z. Saw a lot of posts for Acer Notebooks but unfortunately nothing helped me.
Cardbus-Controller is an: ene cb-712/ 714/810
FireWire-Card (2 ports): exsys ex-6600e (TI Chips)
So here's what I did.
Installed a 10.5.6 System by {censored}.
Installed the IOPCMCIAFamily.kext for 10.5.6 (with the right rights), but the System hangs without error-msgs.
Than I tried rev8 and the Sytem was booting and recognizes the controller. Even the FireWire-Card is found.
But the Problem is that no devices are recognized when I connect them to the FireWire-Card.
First the System-Profiler said there are no FireWire-Drivers loaded, so I loaded them manually and the System-Profiler-Message changed to "
Unable to list FireWire devices". Unfortunately this message tells the truth.
Here are my dmesg-outputs.
After loading IOPCCardFamily.kext and all FireWire-Kexts manually:
bash-3.2# dmesg | grep PCExtension "com.apple.driver.ApplePCIConfigurator" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel andcom.apple.kpi components; use only one style.PCI configuration changed (bridge=0 device=5 yenta=1)Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@1F,2/AppleIntelPIIXATARoot/PRID@0/AppleIntelICHxSATA/ATADeviceNub@0/AppleATADiskDriver/IOATABlockStorageDevice/IOBlockStorageDriver/WDC WD1600BEVS-22RST0 WDC WD1600BEVS-22RST0/IOFDiskPartitionScheme/Untitled 3@3IOPCCard info: Intel PCIC probe: ENE 712/4 rev 10
After inserting the FireWire-Card:

Additionally I tried to load all Kexts while boot-time, with and without inserted FW-Card.
Still the same problem.
Any Ideas? Thanks a lot.
Cheers
