Spiiral Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi there, this is the last thing I have to fix now, then I'll have a fully working Hackintosh. I'm trying to get the SD card reader working. I have tried a few kexts but they don't work or I'm doing something wrong. Before I installed any kexts, plugging in an SDHC card would do nothing, now after trying some kexts, I now get the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" The card works fine when I boot up in Windows and also in my camera. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285602-acer-aspire-8930g-card-reader-fix/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiiral Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Repairing permission,... will let you know if it works or not EDIT: Not working. I installed the kext using 'Kext Wizard' and then repaired the permissions and rebuilt system cache S/L/E then rebooted. I don't get any message popping up either Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285602-acer-aspire-8930g-card-reader-fix/#findComment-1880154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please point it out please. Or if you don't mind, could you edit the info.plist for me and upload? Here are my ID's Ven ID - 197b Dev ID - 2381 Dev ID - 2382 Dev ID - 2383 Dev ID - 2384 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285602-acer-aspire-8930g-card-reader-fix/#findComment-1880244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiiral Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi, thanks for the kext Alex. I managed to get to the same stage as you last night, only having it recognised when it's in when starting up. But being a photographer, I need to be able to open SD cards when I please without having to restart the laptop. I'll ask around and see if anyone can modify the kext. If I get a working one, I'll let you know.

Alex009988 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 How-To : “Native” Card Reader driver for OSX86 | Prasys' Blog Unfortunately, I haven't found useful information. Do you think AnyCardReader.kext will be working on our computer. In article had been shown about USB-cardreaders. But our cardreaders are closely conected with device called RP05. Would you mind to say how to put Device-id at this kext or make it yourself? Thanks in advanced!

Alex009988 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 How-To : “Native” Card Reader driver for OSX86 | Prasys' Blog Does this solution do for only USBcardreader(not PCICardreader)? And "anyCardReader.kext" as well, right?
