I set my pc to osX with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5
To avoid any panic I disabled the firewire.
But now I got new handycam and I need firewire port to work.

Do I need to reinstall from the beginning? or I have some other way to add driver only?

Onboard IEEE 1394 controller for my Hackintosh is VIA VT6308P

This is my spec for hackintosh.

Intel Core2Quad Q9550 on ASUS P5K/EPU <Green>
with TeamElite DDR2 PC2-6400 2G x 4
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT 256MB
3 SATA HDD
1 SATA ODD GSA-H62L
Apple Keyboard A1243 + Apple MightyMouse A1152
iDeneb 10.5.5 + Window Vista Enterprise SP1 32bit

Thanx ahead

Looks like that Firewire chipset doesn't work/gives problems.

I think the only way to fix it is to buy a PCI firewire card, get one at the bottom of this list, or any brand with a confirmed working chipset.

In the link, about my motherboard
Firewire will work.
But when I was installing iDeneb v1.3 I checked the box "disable Firewire"

now I just want it back.
I know it work, but don't know how sad.gif

Problem solved.

using Pacifist, I extract 5 files (IOFirewire*.kext) from the Retail OSX DVD (DL) 10.5.4

And reboot

Done.
