jb044 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 hi there, Still relatively new to this whole MacOSX on common hardware thing, but hey at least I managed to install iDeneb 1.6 and get it up and running, typing this on Leopard right now The problem is during heavy IO I get random KP's related to the IOATAFamily kext. Somewhere I found that the best way to work around this is by not replacing the kext but by using a custom DSDT.aml for your specific hardware. So after some trial and error that's what I did: I now have a working /Extra/DSDT.aml file and verified that Chameleon is using it. However simply importing my music folder from external storage into iTunes gives a KP rather quickly Anybody any tips?

jb044 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 So I seem to have fixed the problem: setting maxmem=3072 I don't understand this, wasn't the 4GB problem of NforceATA fixed long before? So does anybody have a (link to) kext for nforce ata that is a. reliable and b. doesn' t have the 4GB problem?
