calmesal Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi all! I updated to 10.4.10 using the latest 8.10.1 kernel and the guide here. Everything works perfectly. I have just this error when the firewire activating at the boot: Jul 3 20:13:09 localhost kernel[0]: FireWire (OHCI) VendorID 1102 ID 4001 PCI now active, GUID 00023c003103d6a9; max speed s400.

It's from \System\Library\Extensions.10.4.9 Regards, Rakete I was so glad I found this thread since it gave me an idea to try out.. I too have the problem of havind the Konnekt not being recognized by its own control panel. Alas, after swapping my firewire kext, and disk repair, the error during the boot process did go away but the Konnekt is still not seen by its panel ! Anybody could venture a guess ?

tomHack Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Last night, somehow I ve been able to get the darn thing to work with 10.4.10. Here's what I did: After fixing the FW security mode error, I did a search on 'konnekt' 'TC electronics' 'assimilator' etc.. In other words, don't trust the uninstall script ! It leaves remnants of the installation everywhere. Also don't forget the Konnekt Package receipt. So I trashed everything related to the installation. After that I unplug the Konnekt. Then I reinstalled the CD version of the driver. Then before restarting I plugged the Konnekt in bus powered mode. Then I restarted in verbose mode, et voilà ! The panel is back. It can also work with the Konnekt powered externally after that first restart. I tried to install the 1.22 update, but then I was in trouble again. So for the time being it is going to be the 1.03 version, until they update it to a compatible version with hackintosh 10.4.10 ? But still, if anybody has a suggestion I would be very glad to hear it, cause it seems like there is a some kind of bug with the audio firewire in the hack 10.4.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakete Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 thank you for this information, I'll try this out. But please tell me which firmware is running on your Konnekt? the 1.03 or the one wihich is contained in the 1.22 Package (it's the konnekt_8_24d_1184.tca) I can't believe that Driver and Panel from 1.03 work with the firmware from 1.22. So I have to downgrade the firmware? Second question: how do you remove the whole installation with all files and al residues? I'm a little bit a Mac-Noob and don't know what to do^^ Overall the v1.22 seems to be verry buggy, as it won't work fine under XP too. the changelog says: Known issues with this versionPC: We have seen some systems with audio drop outs. Disabling, for instance, the Ethernet network card or the CD-Rom drive solves the drop out problem. We are currently working on a driver version this will fix this. They should work fast and hard. Either sound or internet connection is a dumb decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVE_CHANG2 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks so much thread! Was having problems with glitching audio on a firewire Edirol FA101; installed the 10.4.9 kext from this thread and it sorted my problems. ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanstrash Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Here's the error "error : firewire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure" Well I have to say this works in Leopard as well. I was getting the exact same error in my P5W DH Deluxe. I'm running 10.5.1 Vanilla kernel on a GUID partitions scheme with EFI version 8. I just replaced the IOFireWireFamily.kext with one from Tiger and then put back the Leopard one and the error went away in single user mode! I would have never figured that out. I run all kinds of music gear: FireBox by Presonus and Logic Studio, and an Mbox. I also run Native Instruments and now Guitar Rig sees my FireBox in Stand alone mode. I used to only be able to get Guitar rig to see my inputs via logic. Awesome I think I have a perfect Hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eragon Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 onemantrash: how were you able to replace the kext? I have the same problem too and i cant add the kexts in MacDrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanstrash Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 well I spoke too soon. It worked for a little while and now the error is back. But it's not a problem, it's just something that shows up once in verbose mode. Doesn't effect my system. I don't know about mac drive sorry. I just drag and drop the kexts using multiple versions of MacOS. I grabbed the kext from tiger and put into leopard. Then I switched it back. But it doesn't matter.

dsc106 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm having this problem on Leopard as well, and along with the security error, I get: FireWire GUID 0000000000000000 is invalid! I replaced the kexts as instructed, repaired permissions and rebooted. The error messages while booting in -v mode went away, however, my firewire devices are still not recognized properly. A description shows up in the system profiler, but the devices do not mount... Any ideas? I am using my onboard firewire, mobo is nforce4 board, the Asus A8N-SLI Premium. Also, this worked flawlessly in Tiger (without any need to replace kexts or what not), but has not worked for me in Leopard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I also have this Firewire Error problem in Leopard, i am sur it have to to with AppleAHCIPort.kext, IOAHCIFamily.kext or IOATAFamily.kext .

BiTRiP Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Would like to know a solution for 10.5.5 too rather then disabling Firewire in BIOS. I need firewire but its slowing down my boot bigtime! Older IOFirewire.kext doesn't work at all. BiTRiP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
