jamba77 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 After installing iPC 10.5.6., Os X cant detect any PCI cards..I installed IOPCIFamily fix with the fixes on install..I think PCI buses must be detected. I was having problems with Ethernet, and this may be an issue. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Which IOPCIFamily fix did you use? In my Aspire 5920 the only fix that really fixes PCI is this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81036 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/#findComment-1412355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamba77 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I use IOPCIFamily.kext 2.4.4, and IOPCCard.kext 1.6.4 on my Aspire 5610.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/#findComment-1412368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Have you tried with this? http://www.mediafire.com/?txgfj23weji It's the only that works for me. Actually I use only the IOPCIFamily, it's inside IOPCMCIAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/#findComment-1412376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamba77 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I downloaded the files from this link and installed both after backuping the original ones. on reboot it gave me 2 different errors, couldnt boot anymore and I had to reinstall. so you just replaced IOPCIFamily. does your OsX detect PCI correctly, and what did you type in on reboot? I mostly use OSXtools for proper install kexts.. greetz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/#findComment-1412411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yes, I just took IOPCIFamily.kext from IOPCMCIAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns and installed it in /System/Library/Extensions What errors did you get?

Beerkex'd Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 FWIW, being visible in System Profiler is not a requirement for your PCI devices to function correctly in OS X. The only time I've ever seen anything under PCI devices is when using Chameleon 2's GraphicsEnabler and EthernetBuiltin. However, both video and ethernet work fine without those settings enabled.

" How to use? * Backup your original IOPCCardFamily driver (and IOPCIFamily driver) * Replace your IOPCCardFamily driver (and IOPCIFamily driver) with the attached one that contains all necessary modifications * Reboot * As root, type "dmesg | grep PC"; you should see something being found Welcome to try it. Don't forget to backup the old files before trying it. " ..the first error about ´com.Apple´ couldnt be loaded, the second was too fast too read..strange that i couldn boot anymore, neither with -s..

Beerkex, thats right, my destop system with 10.5.6. doesnt show any PCI Cards either, but network and PCI-graphic cards work normally.. I now have installed a new kernel from 10.5.7. which puts out my Aspire as ´MacBookPro´..as newer kernels work better with hardware.. ok, perhaps I should Chameleon 2 give a try..(I am a bit afraid it will crash my boot order with xp..)

oldnapalm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 So we have different problems. In my case PCI cards really don't work without Eureka's fix, it's not about being visible in System Profiler.

Just the usual permission repair sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext and removed kext cache sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211064-no-pci/#findComment-1412705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
