St Jimmyx Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hey Folks, I tried this with vanilla, voodoo and fassl kernels and every possible boot parameter, but when i insert more than 3 gigs of ram, i get a blank screen instead of the grey, then the resolution changes and i get the blank again, but thsi time in 1280x800. the moment i remove the fourth gigabyte, everything works fine. my config: LG S1-PDGGG (mainboard's called "ROCKY") 3 / 4 GB DDR2 667 RAM Intel Core 2 Duo 1,83 GHz T5600 ATI Radeon Mobility X1600, using NVinject i think Mac OS X 10.5.5 (iATKOS v5i) any ideas? cl Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143472-cant-use-3gb-of-ram/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an new JM kext there (dont use some old, ..fix kexts - they all dont work really!) http://darwin-ata.googlecode.com/files/JMi...28JMB360%29.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143472-cant-use-3gb-of-ram/#findComment-1018332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Jimmyx Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I tried this one, no success.. I think this is because I don't have a JMicron controller, i think it's an Intel one, because it's a centrino duo chipset. Do you reckon that could be problematic as well? cl EDIT: This is what i have in my notebook: Intel® 82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 27DF Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller EDIT: Linux doesn't work either, tried i386 and em64t kernels. LG doesn't offer BIOS updates for my notebook. I'm testing Vista now.

mitch_de Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I would go / search in the Forum of IDE/SATA (hardware+drivers) for that threads with IDE + x GB problem and post yout ICH7 (with device IDs) there. Maybei its only a problem of setting your dev-ids in the .plist of the .kext. Also post which drivers are used (loaded) by command kextstat in the terminal. (AppleViaATA, JMircon,.... such things to looking for) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143472-cant-use-3gb-of-ram/#findComment-1018900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
