sunlit Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have updated to 10.7.2 and had zero troubles until I had to backup to ESATA drive (ASUS Rampage II mobo with jmicron ESATA controller). It used to work in 10.7.1 with jmicron kext in S/L/E (from Lionize package by .: ErmaC :.) The system profiler now shows the Jmicron AHCI controller even when I delete the jmicron36xsata.kext, and nothing working! The kext does not seem to be loading anyway (as reported by kext wizard app). Can anyone please point out to me where to look? My DSDT has the following code for the jmicron Device (JMB0) { Name (_ADR, Zero) OperationRegion (BAR0, PCI_Config, 0x40, 0x04) Field (BAR0, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { M1, 8, M2, 8, M3, 8 } Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (0xB3, M1) Store (0xA1, M2) Store (0xC2, M3) Store (Package (0x02) { "name", Buffer (0x16) { "J-Micron JMB36x eSATA" } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } Device (JMB1) { Name (_ADR, One) OperationRegion (BAR0, PCI_Config, 0x40, 0x04) Field (BAR0, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { M1, 8, M2, 8, M3, 8 } Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Zero, M1) Store (Zero, M2) Store (Zero, M3) Return (Zero) } } } but that seems no longer working in 10.7.2 for some reason Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271736-jmicron-jmb36x-controller-not-working-after-1072-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlit Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 For some reason the forum won't allow me to upload my ioregistry explorer's dump, so here is a screenshot.

sunlit Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 when I connect a disk to ESATA port I get 11/7/11 11:25:02.000 PM kernel: SATA WARNING: IDENTIFY DEVICE checksum not implemented. in the console, and after a minute or two, the system returns "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271736-jmicron-jmb36x-controller-not-working-after-1072-update/#findComment-1768512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlit Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 and, funny thing, even if I edit out the JMB enties (see above posts) from DSDT, I still get the Jmicron controller recognized in the System Profiler. My original thinking was that it would revert to "unknown AHCI controller". Can anyone at least point out which kexts are used to drive the jmicron, I might consider downgrading back to some 10.7.1 kexts, since in 10.7.1 it was working. Still need help. Anyone?
