mitch_de Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It is for future. Do you have some problems? No lastest .kext works without any problems (OK, i have desktop pc, not the problematic pc-card usage). C2D, GA-EP35.

aliasa_anderson Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Slice and Andy, Why is it that osx is not able to scan hardware devices on PCI bus even though the devices are attached to it and even working. For e.g.- the system profiler does not showany "PCI devices" even though ioreg show they are[PCI2PCIBridge] Currently I use the method described here to get the PCI devices displayed in system profiler: http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...hp/t134842.html Does this have anything to do with the IOPCIFamily kext ? or SMBIOS kext. I also noted another kext in 10.5.6 "SMBUSPCI" can that be used in this scenario ?

Andy Vandijck Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Did anybody try my new IOPCIFamily driver? I've tested it and I'm very pleased with the Mac OS X 10.5.6 version. Works great as far as I know. Right now it also uses that snprintf function right... Enjoy...

kizwan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Glad to cooperate with you. About snprintf I didn't understand the question. Sorry? The primary purpose of the fix is to make CardBus working (PCMCI). The same purpose as Chun-Nan's kext. But Chun-Nan used quite another method then I and Andy. I am not agree with him but sometimes his kext works too. Another effect of this kext is system speed improvement. Why? Because of more correct interrupt chain. Hi Slice, If it is possible, can you explain a bit more what is the difference (method) between you & Chun-Nan? I just like to learn. Hi Andy, Great works. Did not try your version yet, right now I'm using Chun-Nan's kext. Which file do I need to compare if I want to compare between Chun-Nan's source code & yours? kizwan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135368-anv-iopcifamily-25-build-243/page/2/#findComment-1015525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi Slice,If it is possible, can you explain a bit more what is the difference (method) between you & Chun-Nan? I just like to learn. One word. I made bus renumeration according previous Apple's method only for yenta-bridges while Chun-Nan makes entire renumerations of PCI bus AFAIK. Not sure I am right because I saw only first his versions. AnV is exactly the same as me.

mitch_de Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi ANDY ! Question: I didnt get AppleHPET.kext loaded by the system, but loaded manual by kextload. kextstat didnt show AppleHPET.kext in the load list. HPET device is enabled and also seen in dsdt.txt It is not seen by IORegistryExploerer - i am 100% sure it was there past weeks. What does make this registry tree (IORgeisterExplorer shows). In the last week i installed: Chameleon + dsdt and Apple ID patch bootloader ( i only used the boot copied in /, rest like boot0 is chameleon V 11) IOPCIFamily AnV AppleSMBios V1.1.1 AnV Does on of them perhaps disable HPET (maybe some users have problems with) ? Which of them could be a problem to register my HPET in OS X (i had that with 10.5.5) The 10.5.6 AppleHPET.kext can be loaded with success by kextload, so i think its not an problem of the .kext. I dont have an disabler.kext.

mitch_de Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 How do you install this? I can't find a kext file. Please advise a n00b. Mostly all DLs of AnV have some folder structure. You must go down the folders to find the .kext ! look at screenshoot. I recommend to use an kext install helper or OSXTools to install third party .kext - better for setting rights ok.

sdonner Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 He is a diff between my sources and you. Good luck!If anyone have a problem try my version. hey. I tried your IOPCIFamily.kext included in iPC's 10.5.6 installer but always get the same error. (tried a ton of different combinations of kexts, with and without pcmcia adapter etc...) any idea how to fix that? here my system specs: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 (Rev2) - P35 + ICH9 Q6600, 4GB Ram, 8600GT, PCMCIA Card with Ricoh chip 500GB SATA HDD and SATA DVD connected to ICH9 south bridge Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135368-anv-iopcifamily-25-build-243/page/2/#findComment-1026005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

First move the original IOPCIFamily.kext to /Backup/ or something. Make sure there isn't one left under /System/Library/Extensions. Then install the .kext. Otherwise it will make them duplicate... This causes them both to load apparently and then neither work.

throttlemeister Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have a similar problem as sdonner. I am running 10.5.5, and I need a different IOPCIfamily to detect my wireless. However, most of the time it just stops loading. Using AnV's kext it boots, but it still don't detect my card. Very annoying, and I really need wireless working or I might as well forget about OSX all together. System is a Acer TravelMate 7730G, C2D, PM45 chipset, 4GB RAM. Wireless is a BCM4328. Any suggestions here? I am not getting anywhere with Chan Nun's kexts (detect, hang during boot) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135368-anv-iopcifamily-25-build-243/page/2/#findComment-1048398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

throttlemeister Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Andy, I used the standard Broadcom Airport driver as it is contained in the IO80211Family.kext from OSX 10.5.5. You need me to send that? Can do that tonight if you want. Last night I tried intstalling iPC 10.5.6, but that won't boot at all after install, hangs at the same place. With or without modified IOPCIFamily.kext as per install options.

throttlemeister Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 iPC 10.5.6 will do this (hang at boot) regardless of what choices I make during install. Can't even get it to boot the first time. I had already seen the 254, but unfortunately on my system with 10.5.5 this will cause a kernel panic in the broadcom driver. Anyway, I am now typing this on OSX using a USB ethernet adapter (wee!), and later this week I should get both an Apple branded Dell 1505 card (different broadcom chip as the 4328) and a Apple branded Atheros AR5 card. Hopefully I can get one of these working with a different driver, but this is getting a real pain in the butt. But at least I can do something with USB wifi.
