-MadMax- Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hello! I got my HackOS-X running just yesterday, did a native installation, everything is running great (Final Cut for example). Even my ATI Radeon 9800pro is running as intended, fully supported!!! Because I'm really into editing video, I bought a no-name 25$ PCI FireWire card today: It's got the Mac seal printed on it and supports OHCI so I suppose it really should work. When I open the system profiler it says "No PCI-Cards are installed on this Computer", and when I click on "Fire Wire" I just get a blank page. Many users on this forums said, those cards would work gr8, however, I just don't get that card to work. Even tried another one from my VistaPC, but my OS-X just doesn't recognize them. When I updated to 4.9 my Radeon refused to work, until I copied over the old .kext from 4.8, so I think, maybe FireWire will work when copying the old .kext over, too. Are there any .kext files I can use to install some kind of FireWire drivers ? What .kext's are used by OS-X for handling the FireWire cards at all? (I suppose the card could run if I installed a .kext from an older version as 4.7 or 4.8) thx, - M.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-MadMax- Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 At least I found out that the files OS-X uses to control the FireWire stuff are named: IOFireWireAVC.kext IOFireWireFamily.kext IOFireWireIP.kext IOFireWireSBP2.kext IOFireWireSerialBusControl.kext I'm gonna try to switch the IOFireWireFamily.kext with an older version, I pray that it will work ^^. EDIT: It did not work. Still nothing displayed. Maybe somebody has/had the same poblem and is able to tell me a solution? EDIT: Yepee, everything working now: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...aded&start= Thanks to this file. It was actually missing completely!
