Boooooommm Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 For some reason 8.8.1 kernal doesn't recognize my DVD drive on the ATA cable. Could this be a bug in the new automatic ATA code? I tried tubgirl release but it loads up really slow, I never got the system to boot up to be exact. The kernel also includes the USB fix for the X200 chipset, which I have (I own a Compaq V2000 laptop) and had issues with USB devices, but that's because of the fix itself. Right now my concern is getting the DVD drive to work. Do you guys have any idea how I can fix this? Is there a known fix for this? My specs are as follows: Compaq V2582US AMD Turion 1.8Ghz CPU 864MB RAM (shared with video) Radeon X200M video AC97 sound provided by C-Media Synaptics Trackpad. Thanks to the fix, all input hardware works flawlessly with the system. I do have issues with the NIC card which is a Realtek 8169 onboard one and the wireless is not recognized either. I can live with the minimal tearing after Callisto 003 fixed. My only issue at the moment is the DVD drive not working. It worked without any problem back in 10.4.7 Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe I could go back to 10.4.7 and install the AC97 fix, along with the USB fix for the keyboard and trackpad to work and still have the DVD drive working nicely. Any suggestions?

goofy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) try this, dont know if it matter to you. But IOATAFamily.kext is maybe the key to your problem, but i dont know what to do there exactly for your chipset. Look what chipset and sata controller you have and search the forum that. UOTE(jp266one @ Dec 3 2006, 06:30 AM) think I MIGHT know what your problem is. In the /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist search for "0x2363197B" (no quotes) and delete just that. Save it, repair permissions, etc... reboot and see what happens. When putting in PIONS fix for ICH8, it adds that number in there. That number is for the Jmicron controller. I think for some reason that file is being triggered because you run the jmicron controller as well.

Boooooommm Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm using the X200 southbridge from ATi. I found the ATA driver for it, although JAS says it includes it in the combo update. I'm going to try to replace the AppleOnboardPCATA.kext with the ATI enabling one to see if there's the culprit. But I will try your method afterwards if it continues to fail.

Boooooommm Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ok I got it sorted out using the ATI AppleOnboardPCATA.kext file. Everything is running marvelously under JAS 10.4.8 now. I just can't get ethernet working properly. For some reason the system locks up after the new kext Orbyte released is loaded and doesn't boot up.
