E-Chris Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Updated to iDeneb 10.5.8 and now one of my Firewire 800 hard drives doesn't not mount. What is strange is that I have a G-Tech Firewire 800 drive that does mount. Must have something to do with the chipsets the drives use. I still have a copy of my 10.5.6 system, and I booted into that and it recognized and mounted my FW800 drive. I'm assuming iDeneb 10.5.8 has a kext or something that isn't quite working with the FW800 drive. Does anyone know where I should look, or what file I should consider replacing to get my FW800 ports to work correctly again?

E-Chris Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Does anybody know which kext's handle the FW800 ports? Or which files might be causing the problem?

troiboii Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 HI, I had the problem where my firewire drive was not recognised and after a few days of messing around found that if you delete applehpet.kext from system/library/extensions folder then reboot it fixes this and also makes the usb work at 2.0 speeds instead of 1.1.
