SATA DVD Drive locking up

[ChiefWiggum]

Hi All,

 

I have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my AMD rig with Hazard.

Almost everything works properly except the DVD Drive..

 

When I load any disk, it attempts to spinup/read/spindown/spinup for a long time..

Pressing eject (physically & via toolbar) does nothing..

 

It appears to be totally hung/locked.

 

Doing a simple reboot does not fix it. I have to shutdown,switch off the power and reboot.

Then the DVD "unlocks" itself...

 

What is happening here?. I have tried various kexts for sata fix/ahci etc..nothing has changed things..

I installed SL with the DVD but on full installation it does not work ??

 

Thanks in advance..

What SATA/PATA kext are you using?

What SATA/PATA kext are you using?

 

The SATA fixes are from the Hazard DVD installation menu which has

AHCI SATA Fix Extra/Extensions

Legacy SATA Fix

IOATAFamily Fix

IOATAFamily SATA Fix Extra/Extensions

 

Manually I have tried adding some kext which was for systems with >= 4GBram but this did work either, so reverted back. [i forgot where I got this kext maybe from Hazard forums?]

 

Also all my HDDs are SATA & SL is installed on MBR partitions.
