Trouble getting drive to show up on 10.6.5 (JMicron issues?)

[ajreynol]

Hi all. I have a perfect installation going on my old Dell 435MT thanks to many of the guides and tips here. I've only one problem left to tackle and I'm hoping the community might have some ideas. Here's the story:

 

I have installed a Vantec SATAII PCI-E card to add an additional HDD. It uses a JMicron JMB363 chipset. It works fine under Windows. When I boot into OSX, I see the JMicron hardware listed the system details as follows:

 

and

 

 

depending on the kext used (below)

 

lspci says:

 

02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 03)

 

Because of the similar nature to a thread I found here from the past (LINK) I tried to follow those directions, but have been unsuccessful beyond getting the controller listed.

 

What I have done:

 

-I copied AHCIPortInjector.kext into E/E

 

-I copied JMicronATA.kext into E/E

 

-I also tried copying LegacyJBM36xSATA.kext from MyHack's downloads section

 

-pfix'd with Kext Utility

 

-Lots of reboots.

 

-Switched the plug the SATA cable is going into.

 

Note:

 

 

-Drive is not being added to a RAID configuration. It's just a solo drive being added via the extension card.

 

So far, nothing has worked under OSX. Works fine under Windows 7. If I'm doing something obviously wrong, I'd love some insight. Thanks in advance, guys!

 

Edit: the thread creator actually sent me a link to his ACHIPortInjector.kext and JMicronATA.kext. It works perfectly now. Thanks for looking. Link to the Extensions file is left here for anyone in the future who might run into this:

I don't know if the card will work for multiple drives or in a RAID setup, though. YMMV there...but for a single drive, it works just fine.
