scousi Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thank you good guy, but I see it, Can you explain me how is possible anable DMA during Installation? Is possible ? And this http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...indpost&p=85381 Your boot dvd would have to contain an updated /System/Library/Extensions.mkext that contains the driver. This is what the installer boots with as the /System/Library/Extensions does not even exist at that point. Take a look at the "unix" command kextcache to rebuild. You can view the command options with man kextcache. There was a Jas patch floating around that allowed this for 10.4.3. To re-make a bootable DVD you have to take the contents of the ISO and: 1) Rebuild the /System/Library/Extensions.mkext with the new driver in it 2) Put the driver in the Essentials.pkg inside the pax file. 3) Re-master the DVD. I've never done that but I imagine it would take a few hours to figure out. Thye best solution is of course: BUY A REAL MAC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14942-msi-rs482m2-il-with-os-x-1045-dmapio-problem/#findComment-95974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coobox Mac Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I just have 2 Real MAC. Thank you I'll try this, I'll inform you if it works. Ehm I forget one thing.

The only way of checking is with benchmarks to see your speed.

Zappadoc Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 check with myZar or Jas they (i believe) already include my kext in there installer(?)... or use an external ide for installation and then backup/restore to your internal disk.
