hughythomas Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi guys! I just yesterday managed to finally boot SL 10.6.1 (vanilla with some modified kexts for my mobo) but the only issue I am having is that my UAD-2 card is flashing red/green (even with the latest drivers installed). This is hopeless as I am only trying hackintosh to see if Logic benefits from the extra processor speed over my 2006 Mac Pro. Has anyone else experienced this? In my Mac Pro it was working 100% fine. I have tried various PCI/E slots in my motherboard to no avail - is there some BIOS setting that must be set in order for it to work? I had to set my BIOS to ACPI enabled as well as AHCI could this be the culprit? My specs: ASUS P5K-E Wifi/AP Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ 4.40Ghz 4GB Corsair Dominator PC8500 @ 976Mhz NVIDIA GTX 285 UAD-2 Solo Nevana 32 PCI-E card Be Quiet! Dark Power 850W PSU Custom watercooled Silverstone TJ07 Thanks in advance Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughythomas Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 OK so it seems to be an issue with 64 bit Snow Leopard. If any of you guys get the same trouble boot into 32 bit mode instead and all will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OftheSeven Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 My UAD-2 Solo works in both 32 bit and 64 bit Yes, please divulge info My GA-EP45-UD3R won't recognize my UAD1 or UAD2 and Lynx AES16 cards using SL 10.6.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 My UAD-2 Solo works in both 32 bit and 64 bit then you are the one and only on earth - there is still no 64bit driver available. maybe I´m wrong and you are a beta tester? @OftheSeven do you use dsdt? dsdt compiled with a new hpet on some boards avoids the recognition of the uad cards - especially uad-1´s compile it without the hpet option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firechild Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 To clear things out... The UAD card will not be recognized when booting with 64 bit kernel and most likely most of your external stuff won´t work neither. UA has not released 64 bit drivers yet. So, booting with 64 bit kernel is kind of meaningless nowadays and years to come. Both Leopard and Snow Leopard are already 64 bit OS`s even though you are booting with the 32 bit kernel. So to get advantage of the 64 bit Logic version, just boot with 32 bit kernel and "show info" on the Logic 9.1 app and make the right settings. The default kernel mode for real Mac´s is 32 bit but for Hack´s it is 64 bit, just make sure you boot with the 32 bit kernel and you will be fine.

mozak Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi, I cant get my UAD-1 PCI to work in 64 or 32 bit Snow Leopard. I tried to make new DSDT but still no luck. It was working great in 1.5.x. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 your hardware??? did you try with any disabler without dsdt? or even without dsdt and powermanagment.kext? I have here perfect working 2 x UAD-1 & 1 UAD-1e. 10.6.2 / 32bit and dsdt compiled without hpet option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigabyte P35-DS4 Q6600 ATI 4870 1GB RME HDSP9632 - Working I used this install method http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=195248 no, how do I do that, just delete it or? I have tried to compile new DSDT without hpet option but I did it from current system, and I am not sure is that allowed... anyway its good to know that you have working UAD-1! what UAD software version are you using, latest v550?

JustinAiken Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yes, sorry, my mistake. The card works fine in 32 bit mode, not 64 bit... I thought I was in 64 bit mode once and it was working, but I was in fact in 32 bit mode... Sorry for any confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolong Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi i'm sorry in wrong english. i use GA-EP45-UD3R from Kakewalk. firewire can be used without trouble. but i cant use PCI and PCI-e for using UAD-2. i tryed to boot X58A-UD3R. it came to be able to use uad-2. but it becomes impossible to use firewire this time. is this problem solved if it does very?

peach-os Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 did you boot with arch=i386 flag? UAD doesn´t work in 64Bit mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolong Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 thanks for your reply. im sorry that i dont know well about i386. i made booted usb installed snow leopard and kakewalk for EP45-UD3R. after that, it followed a guide and it installed it. how do you make it to 32bit? it was thought that it was 32bit mode if I did not do anything. sorry wrong english.

peach-os Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 no - it isn´t when booting with efi/chameleon hit any key - then type arch=i386 when booted open terminal and type uname -a to proof that the 32bit kernel is loaded later on you should write into your com.apple.boot.plist (in Extra) <key>kernel flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> that way it boots always into 32bit mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolong Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 thanx peach-os. i tryed 1 type "arch=i386" and press enter when booting. 2 type "uname -a to proof" in Terminal. 3 opened the HD/Extra/com.apple.boot.plist. and added <key>kernel flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> Then restart. but icant use UAD-2. its flashing red/green and indicated No cards Found. is there wrong way? mmmmm. i have no idea.
