Rhys Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Is it now possible to install Leopard from an IDE dvd drive with the jmicron chipset? I can use a flat file to install but the last time I tried that I had issues installing some software, the installers wouldn't actually launch at all, they'd just freeze, and I don't know if this would be because of the flat file or just incorrect drivers, so I'm wondering if a clean install would be more stable, but I can't do that if my drive can't be used.

SergejKiller Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Try this. JMicronATA.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The kext won't fix this problem, it was the bootloader that was faulty, the latest chamelon has a fix for this, however the dvd you wanna boot must have included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 What's chamelon? Are there any installation dvds out there that have this fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaTaX Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 All of the iATKOS DVDs have been installed on my system using my PATA DVD drive on a JMicron controller. That same JMicron controller actually is running the OS on a eSATA port, I keep my main OS seperated easily from OSX and my other test OSes by just disabling the Intel controller on the mobo. Works well, but I'm fighting with it right now to get it back into AHCI mode... 10.5.6 doesn't seem to like the JMicron supplied driver anymore.

gruh Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If it's kalyway release you must use fix which u can insert in the iso file using ppf o matic program. search for JMicron IDE DVD Kalyway in the net. It's some hungarian site. I have these problems and I patched the iso file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorazine74 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 iAtkos 5 & iPC 10.5.6 (among others surely, those ones I've tried) boot & install without problems from JMicron DVD. iAtkos might have some troubles if installing TO an IDE HD owned by JMicron controller.
